“A growing body of evidence suggests that in the absence of ready supplies of glucose and fats from meals, fasting flips a metabolic "switch," liberating fat stores via fatty acid oxidation and ketone production while prioritizing the safeguarding of lean muscle mass and function.”

“Previous epidemiological research has reported a link between coffee consumption and decreased risk of liver cancer and fatty liver disease. A new report describes the relationship between different types of coffee and liver disease risk.”

“Alcohol consumption is associated with a higher risk for oropharyngeal, laryngeal, esophageal, liver, colon, rectal, and breast cancer. Importantly, risk increases in a dose-response fashion, and there's no apparent evidence of a threshold effect.”

“Researchers gave 60 children with NASH either 30 milligrams of zinc or a placebo daily for four months. Before and after the intervention, they assessed the children's liver function and measured their liver and inflammatory biomarkers.”

“FGF21 is typically produced in the liver and fatty tissue, where it controls many aspects of metabolism. But FGF21 is also produced in working muscles. Research shows that FGF21 can cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to receptors in the hypothalamus.”

“Consistent with the effects of ascorbic acid on visceral obesity, ascorbic acid not only inhibited hepatic steatosis but also increased the mRNA levels of PPARα-dependent fatty acid β-oxidation genes in livers.”

“A low-glycemic index Mediterranean diet and aerobic exercise corrects gut microbial imbalance in people with fatty liver disease. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD, is a syndrome that encompasses multiple states of liver dysfunction, including steatosis (fatty liver), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and cirrhosis.”

“Finally, they exposed the same type of liver cells to varying concentrations of glucose and fructose and to the fatty acid palmitate and measured gene expression. After five days a high fructose diet reduced sex hormone-binding globulin levels in the mice by fructose 80 percent.”

“Both black and green tea changed the ratio of bacteria in the gut which corresponded with lean body mass. Polyphenols specifically in black tea stimulate the growth of a species of gut bacteria called Pseudobutyrivibrio which increased levels of short-chain fatty acids, a type of bacterial metabolites that have been shown to alter the energy metabolism in the liver.”

“00:19:21 - Children who are not breastfed have three times higher risk of allergies by the age of two. Study. 00:20:11 - Breast milk stem cells may be incorporated into babies to help establish organs like the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and brain.”
