A Mediterranean diet is not just good for the heart - it may also boost the health of the liver, a study suggests.

The deadly condition, scarring of the liver caused by long-term damage, kills one million people across the world each year, figures show.
There is currently no cure and treatment revolves around slowing its progression, before it leads to the need for a liver transplant or even kills.

Keep eating fast food billy bob.
8:55 is very wise wand ants everyone to know that, in the words of a comedian, "one day, there's gonna be a whole lot of people in the hospital, dying of nothing".
Watch your weight, don't smoke, jog every day, sleep well. Get killed
by a car while checking your mailbox. But you were one healthy son of a bugger.
Billy bob.
Eat whatever you want, have a lot of fun, and live life.
Tomorrow is not promised or, as my ex-father-in-law once said, "we are all in line. We just don't know where in line we are..."
