The recent ABC radio national Health Report covered obesity research.

Norman Swan: “They have several areas of research from basic science through to behaviour change. And one focus is the so called fatty liver – which doesn’t get much press”.

Robert Kushner: “Yeah, what we know now is that as people gain weight you’ve run out of the deep hole of how you store your calories which is the fat that people typically think of. And the worst case scenario is when the fat starts to infiltrate the liver, so we are now seeing individuals with fatty liver disease that is going on to cause cirrhosis. And at least in this country it is projected that the number one cause for liver transplantation will be fatty liver caused by obesity outpacing the typical causes such as hepatitis C or hepatitis B viral infection”.

Not many researchers must have read Dr Cabot’s Liver Cleansing Diet, otherwise the dangers of fatty liver would have been common knowledge. For more on how to avoid a fatty liver, go to the source.
