Scientists have given people additional motivation to reduce fast food consumption. It turned out that such food is really harmful to the liver.
A study has shown that fast food consumption is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Yes, obese or diabetic people who consume 20% or more of their daily calories from burgers, etc., have significantly increased levels of fat in their livers. In the general population, there is a moderate increase in liver fat when one-fifth or more of their diet is fast food.
“If people eat one meal a day at a fast food restaurant, they may think they're not harming themselves. However, if this one meal is at least one-fifth of their daily calories, they are putting their liver at risk," the scientists said.
