“ Diet sodas do not cause liver injury in the same way that alcohol, viral hepatitis, or certain toxic drugs can, but they can contribute indirectly to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) if consumed in excess. This may be due to artificial sweeteners in the drinks, or to patterns of eating associated with high diet soda consumption.” https://www.verywellhealth.com/how-diet-soda-affects-the-liver-11937277#dietsoda #liverhealth

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "New Drug Stops Deadly Fatty Liver Disease You may have fatty liver disease and not even realize it. University of California, San Diego hepatology researchers, those scientists who specialize in liver research, now say that a new experimental treatment could help stop the damage before it leads to liver failure, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and/or the need for a difficult to obtain liver transplant. They report in The Lancet that an experimental drug called ION224 suppresses a liver enzyme that allows the liver produce and store excessive fat, a process that drives inflammation, scarring, and long-term damage. They drug halts the destructive process rather than merely managing symptoms. The investigators conducted a Phase 2 clinical trial involving 160 adults with so-called MASH, a severe form of fatty liver disease linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes which can progress silently. The participants received monthly injections of ION224 over 51 weeks. Patients receiving the highest dose showed the best results, with about 60% of participants experiencing meaningful improvements in liver health compared with those controls receiving a placebo. The drug was well tolerated with no serious side effects linked to the treatment. More than 100 million Americans are believed to have some form of fatty liver disease, and many don’t know it until significant damage has already occurred. A treatment that directly targets liver fat accumulation offers a new way to slow, halt, or potentially reverse disease progression. This therapy is still experimental and must successfully complete larger Phase 3 randomized, trials before it can receive regulatory approval and become available to your medical team.

Eating certain fruits like grapefruit, apples, oranges, pomegranate, berries, and others can help reduce fat in the liver, fight inflammation, and aid in liver repair. These fruits contain unique natural compounds like polyphenols, quercetin, and chlorogenic acid that support the liver's detox process. Including these fruits in your daily meals can help improve liver health by providing essential nutrients and antioxidants that promote overall well-being.

“ Key Points :
Drinking 2-3 cups of black coffee daily may lower the risk of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis by 25-40%.
Coffee’s antioxidants help reduce oxidative stress, protecting liver cells from long-term damage.
Limit sugary coffee drinks, as they can harm the liver and contribute to fatty liver disease. “ https://www.eatingwell.com/how-does-coffee-affect-liver-health-11970899 #liverhealth #blackcoffee
