Consumption of fastfood linked to liverdisease USC
gives people extra motivation to reduce fast-food consumption.is associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a potentially life-threatening condition in which fat builds up in the liver.
Researchers discovered that people with obesity or diabetes who consume 20% or more of their daily calories from fast food have severely elevated levels of fat in their liver compared to those who consume less or no fast food. And thehas moderate increases of liver fat when one-fifth or more of their diet is fast food.
"Healthy livers contain a small amount of fat, usually less than 5%, and even a moderate increase in fat can lead to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease," said Ani Kardashian, MD, a hepatologist with Keck Medicine and lead author of the study."The severe rise in liver fat in those with obesity or diabetes is especially striking, and probably due to the fact that these conditions cause a greater susceptibility for fat to build up in the liver.
While previous research has shown a link between fast food and obesity and diabetes, this is one of the first studies to demonstrate the negative impact of fast food on liver health, according to Kardashian. The findings also reveal that a relatively modest amount of fast food, which is high in carbohydrates and fat, can hurt the liver."If people eat one meal a day at a fast-food restaurant, they may think they aren't doing harm," said Kardashian."However, if that one meal equals at least one-fifth of their daily calories, they are putting their livers at risk."
