2.Following in the footsteps of Morgan Spurlock,who ate only McDonald's food for one month in the film Super Size Me,an Australian man has undergone a sugar-heavy diet for 60days to explore sugar's impact on his health.
Within three weeks,the formerly healthy Gameau became moody and sluggish (迟钝的).A doctor gave him the shocking diagnosis:He was beginning to develop fatty liver(肝) disease.According to the Mayo Clinic,the most severe outcome for fatty liver disease is liver failure.
Gameau reportedly consumed 40teaspoons of sugar per day,or slightly more than the average teenager worldwide.According to the American Heart Association (AHA),the average American consumes 20teaspoons of sugar daily.The AHA's daily recommendations for sugar consumption are 6teaspoons for women and 9teaspoons for men.
Doctors called Gameau's mental functioning"unstable",and the father-to-be reportedly put on nearly four inches of visceral (内脏的) fat around his waist.He was on the fast track to obesity.Gameau said his diet left him feeling hungry,no matter how much he ate.His final meal,which consisted of a juice,a jam sandwich,a bar,and a handful of other snacks,is similar to an ordinary child's school lunchbox."Sadly,it was very easy to fit comfortably into the small plastic container,"Gameau wrote on his blog."The last meal is for all the people out there,especially parents,who are led to believe they are doing the right and healthy thing for their children.They are making an effort,yet they are horribly let down by the lack of integrity in marketing and packaging strategies."
Gameau told News.com.au that the experiment's findings don't suggest a need to completely cut sugar,but rather a need for more awareness about how much sugar has been added to healthy food.

A.He became mentally unstable after trying the diet.
B.He had complicated personality before he tried the diet.
