Does this seem repetitive?

“ScienceDaily (May 2, 2008) — Diets high in fast food can be highly toxic to the liver and other internal organs, but that damage can be reversed, says one of the country’s leading experts on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, who offers four steps to undo the effects of a ‘super-size me’ diet.

It was probably enough to make many Americans lose their appetite: A recent study from Europe showed that eating too much fast food – a diet high in fat and sugar – could cause serious damage to your liver.

Yet for those who overdo it with too many trips to their favorite burger joint, there’s good news. You can likely reverse the damage to your liver and other vital organs if you simply give up the unhealthy lifestyle, according to a leading liver specialist at Saint Louis University who conducted a similar study with mice.

“There’s strong evidence now that a fast-food type of diet – high in fat and sugar, the kind of diet many Americans subsist on – can cause significant damage to your liver and have extremely serious consequences for your health,” says Brent Tetri, M.D., professor of internal medicine at the Saint Louis University Liver Center and one of the country’s leading experts on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

“The good news is that most people can undo this damage if they change their diet and they keep physically active,” Tetri says. “If they don’t, however, they are asking for trouble.” “

Just because the repeat themselves three times in five paragraphs, saying the same thing three times, that is three times in just five paragraphs, like taking five paragraphs to give the same information three times, doesn’t make it repetitive, does it?

My doctor, when he told me my liver count was slightly elevated, said it was caused by too many fatty/sugary foods. He told me my liver, if I didn’t change my eating habits, would turn into foie gras. That stuck with me. I don’t want a foie gras liver. I’m now avoiding fatty/junk foods big time.
