A member asked:
Can an excess of greasy food cause chapped lips?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Chapped lips are usually due to dry air. However excess of fatty/greasy food will do more harm than chapped lips as fats gets deposited in your arteries and cause heart attacks, stroked and limb gangrene etc.
