Cutting Sugar and Fried Foods May Shield Against Fatty Liver Disease
TL;DR
A HuffPost health piece warns MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, formerly fatty liver disease) affects about 25% of U.S. adults, with under 5% knowing they have it; the condition is largely preventable and reversible with a healthy diet. It highlights sugar as the main driver once it reaches the liver, though saturated fat also stresses liver cells, and cites three foods to cut—starting with sugar-sweetened beverages and fried foods (the third item isn’t shown in this excerpt)—with a large study linking fried foods to a 15% higher MASLD risk. Cutting added sugars and fried foods could lower liver-fat risk over time.
