Fast-Food Consumption May Increase Risk of Liver Disease
The study discovered a link between fast food consumption and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Compared to those who eat less or no fast food, people with obesity or diabetes who get 20% or more of their daily calories
Hepatologist Ani Kardashian, MD, stated that healthy livers typically have less than 5% fat content
Although prior studies have linked fast food to both obesity and diabetes, this is one of the first to illustrate how unhealthy fast food is for the liver
However, if that one meal accounts for at least one-fifth of their daily calories, they are endangering their livers, according to Kardashian.
She thinks that the findings would motivate medical professionals to educate patients about nutrition
