High Meat Consumption Is Prospectively Associated with the Risk of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Presumed Significant Fibrosis
Sticking to a meaty diet may fuel the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and liver fibrosis.
This study evaluated the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fibrosis in adult men and women based on the level of consumption of meat. Researchers examined the diets and liver health of 316 men and women from Israel aged 40-70 years.
Researchers found a spike in the rate of occurrence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and liver fibrosis among participants who enjoyed consuming red and processed meats. Evidence from this study indicate that following a diet heavy on red and processed meats may pave way for the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and liver fibrosis.
