Fat and Calorie Confusion

There was something else in the last posted movie "Super Size Me" that bothered me.  I’m puzzled because the doctors and other health professionals seemed to associate Morgan’s evident illnesses to the high calorie and fat content in the food that he was eating.  While I'm sure that was a component, what about all the other junk in the food?

Didn't they even consider all of the additives in the food such as the preservatives like the trans fat and the TBHQ?  There are also antifoaming agents and artificial flavors and colors that may have had a hand in breaking his body down as well.  What about all of the GMO?  In studies, rats and mice had become ill under the influence of GMOs and if Morgan was eating such high levels of toxins including GMO, isn't it possible that he could have become sick from that as well?

It puzzled and surprised me that the doctors who looked after him didn't even consider this.
