It would appear losing weight changing one’s diet (and maybe losing weight because of that) can bring the immune reaction back to normal.
On the surface, it sounds like feeding the mice a diet of 2 substances together would make it difficult to determine whether both substances in combination create the problem or just one of the substances, and, if so, which one.
At issue: The keto diet is known for fighting type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver by eliminating sugar but eating high-fat foods. This study seems to overlook or at least not clarify that.
Comment caveat: I am in an extreme caffeine deficiency at the moment which will be rectified over the next 30 minutes. Comments may not make sense.
Appreciate your posting these reports.
I’ve heard milk thistle is supposed to be good for the liver. Haven’t had a chance to research it yet, but plan to in my spare time later this week.
If only it would’ve been that simple for me.
I have not one, but two autoimmune diseases that did a one-two whammy on my liver. I was told I DID have a little more fat in it than normal, but my cirrhosis was caused by Sarcoidosis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, from long term Ulcerative Colitis.
I was blessed to receive a new liver last year.
My biggest change in my diet is no more alcohol- it messes with the meds, and has the added benefit of just being a good thing for my body in general. I still need to watch my diet, and this information is a reminder to me that I need to limit my intake of carbs and fatty foods.
I feel pretty good and I thank the Lord every day, say a prayer for my donor
(and his or her family) and give respect to the gift that has been given to me.
I still miss that glass of red wine with dinner, but what a small price to pay…
Thanks for posting this , a very interesting read, and a great reminder for myself.
