Remember kids, eat your fruits and vegetables:
A lad who only ate chips, toast and baked beans was killed by his junk diet — aged just 20.After years of unhealthy eating, Scott Martin’s liver began to fail, he developed hepatitis and his blood would not clot.
Sixteen-stone Scott refused a life-saving liver transplant because he was too scared and was so weak he needed a wheelchair.
The longer I think about this, the less I believe this was just caused by overeating. The parents claim he wasn't much of a drinker (what the heck is the drinking age in the UK anyway?), but I actually know someone who's diet isn't much better than this guy's was and, while not exactly healthy, he's nowhere near a liver-damaged invalid. There's something else going on here.
Errm... that sounds like Jeff :) Potatoes, meat, biscuits...
