South Korean activist ends risky diet of junk food

Yoon Kwang-Yong, 31, began his diet on October 16 in an attempt to re-enact "Super Size Me," an US documentary showing the effects of fast food on the human body.
But he stopped Wednesday on the 24th day after doctors said his health was deteriorating so rapidly that his life could be in danger.
..."The most critical problem was a rapid decline in his liver," said Green Clinic doctor Yang Kil-Seung. "His liver was severely punished, plus were found signs of heart problems."
