Diets and fatty liver disease

A study led by David Ludwig, MD, PhD, director of Children's Optimal Weight for Life program, demonstrates that diets rich in rapidly-digested carbohydrates not only expand waistlines, but may also cause fatty liver, a condition that can lead to liver failure and death. These findings suggest that fatty liver disease—on the upsurge among Americans as a byproduct of the obesity epidemic—may be preventable and treatable through dietary changes.
