Spurlock died Thursday in New York from complications of cancer, according to a statement issued Friday by his family. “It was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan,” Craig Spurlock, who worked with him on several projects, said in the statement. “Morgan gave so much through his art, ideas, and generosity.

And after one month of consuming what is estimated to be eight years' worth of McDonald's food, Spurlock's nutritionist reveals to him that he consumed 30 pounds of sugar and 12 pounds of fat in total. Spurlock really was supersized.

Spurlock's 2017 confession also contradicts what he said in Super Size Me. When the doctor asked at the outset, 'Any alcohol use?', Spurlock replied: 'Now? None'. At the start of the experiment, Spurlock weighed 185 pounds with a body mass index (BMI) of 23.2, which is considered healthy.

Morgan Spurlock does not have a nutritional background therefore he recruited a dietician and several doctors to provide care for him during his experiment.
