This Kid Ate Fast Food Every Day for 3 Months, Somehow Got Diabetes

mc

Who would have thought that eating nothing but fast food for a quarter of the year would have negative side effects? Probably everybody.

According to Shanghaiist, a 12-year-old boy in China was diagnosed with diabetes after going on an ill-advised diet, eating fast food every day for three months. This was done as a form of rebellion after his mother had him on a strict diet. As soon as she went away for a three-month business trip, young Linlin took it upon himself to stuff his face with cheeseburgers and fries on the daily.

He gained about 11 pounds in those three months, felt a constant thirst and had to run to the bathroom constantly.

After getting checked out by a doctor, he was diagnosed with diabetes, and the fast food diet was said to be the culprit.

You can argue that not listening to mama could have been the culprit as well.
