I would add that everyone's body handles carbs differently, and what is high carb for me, is probably low carb for the average person.

I think there are some people who get fatty livers on a far lower carb diet than commonly thought.

Had a quick look and my view is that the information is outdated and the dietary advice dangerous.

Take it up with the British Liver Trust, I'm sure they will value your opinion.

When I was diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome that included NAFLD and horrendous readings of 183. I was referred to the hospital and had ultrasound scans and a biopsy.

Six months of strict LCHF and it had gone.. liver readings were and still are at about 35 which is considered normal.

The specialist at the hospital got bored with me and said.. "your readings have been consistently normal for 2 years now. I'm discharging you from this clinic" .. " By the way, how did you do it?.. low fat I assume ?"
She nearly fell off her chair when I replied.. " The exact opposite actually"
She screeched " You can't do that !" I just smiled instead of saying " well, doc, you just discharged me for being normal "

What I'm saying is don't expect any support from the NHS for LCHF but it definitely worked for me.

Low carb and particularly cutting down on fructose has brought my GGT down 100 points from over 140 to 45.

I reckon the diabetic nurse caused my fatty liver telling me to eat a lot of fruit.
My GGT was 35 when diagnosed T2D.

Fructose goes straight to liver and those with knowledge tell me it should be restricted in T2D and only eaten with fibrous fruit like blue berries.

My GGT was 26 at diagnosis, and is currently 14. I have never eaten much fruit, and barely any now.
