High sugar? Here’s how it can trigger fatty liver and cause long-term damage
Excessive sugar intake, especially fructose, significantly impacts liver health, potentially leading to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and more severe conditions like cirrhosis. High sugar consumption worsens insulin resistance, compounding liver injury. Early intervention through sugar reduction, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management can reverse early liver damage and prevent long-term complications.
