[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 1455424, member: 44622"] Fatty liver seems to be caused by drinking alcohol or eating/drinking fructose. (50% of table sugar is fructose). This is according to an eminent professor whose name I dare not mention for fear of upsetting another professor. Avoid doing either of those and it might not get worse. Also, according to Dr. Unger, as fat accumulates in the liver diabetes kicks off so a fatty liver is seen as a cause of diabetes. The primary response of the pancreas is inhibited. The alpha cells and the beta cells are close and highly concentrated insulin should be available there and mostly isn't. When any glucose gets into the bloodstream it has to be dealt with by insulin there and since it is diluted by 200+times it is an inefficient way of doing the job. (Dr. Unger again) Professor Taylor says that a sharp loss of weight (800 calories a day for two months) de-fats the liver and improves the situation. As far as damage to your liver is concerned, it is a robust organ and can repair itself if any abuse stops. Major damage to any part of your body can occur with high blood sugar levels which you are far more likely to have with a fatty liver. [/QUOTE]
