Today I read in the news about a guy that eats nothing but Mars candy bars. Supposedly he eats about 12 a day… and he’s been doing it for 17 years.

The way the picture was taken makes it just look odd. Looks like the guy is sucking a… Mars candy bar. Sheesh. What did you think I was going to say?

Some doctors and health professionals warn him of his risk for bowel problems, heart disease and even cancer. Some doctors are even surprised he’s alive at all by having a diet for that long.

“He seems to get enough vitamin C and the bars could provide enough calcium and protein. But he’s missing out on fibre, which will have an effect as he ages.”

The candy bar eater himself, Keith Sorrell, replies, “I’m big into the Mars drinks as well. There’s nothing better than mixing them with vodka at the weekend. People say it’s bad for me but I drink lots of orange juice and take vitamins. I haven’t changed my diet for 17 years and my health is fine.”
