  1. Is it just the HFCS, or is it the fact that most of the corn it's produced from is genetically modified? And how would we know?

      That's a damn good point SeaKat!

  2. How 'bout a little blame going to the drug industry? With 1 in 5 boys on some sort of mind-altering pharmaceutical, that's got to be wrecking some livers.

    And the healthy people who avoid this junk and excersize are supposed to pay for the Obamacare insurance of the irresponsible?

    Shouldn't it be the other way around?

  4. I don't think it's got anything to do with HFCS. It's actually due to vitamin deficiency. A diagnosis of NAFLD should first result in a thorough examination to determine if the patient has any nutritional deficiencies, e.g. folate, B12, vitamin C, etc. Unfortunately, the tests used to determine vitamin deficiency are not very accurate and such deficiencies are missed.

    I have personal experience of this. I was diagnosed with NAFLD but wasn't tested properly for vitamin deficiencies. I then discovered them for myself, treated them and now my liver has recovered and is perfectly healthy. I am overweight and haven't lost any weight either so it has nothing whatsoever to do with obesity either.

    We are in the middle of an epidemic of vitamin and mineral deficiency and it's this which is causing all of these diseases including obesity.

      To say HFCS has "nothing to do with" fatty liver disease is like saying too much alcohol has nothing to do with liver disease.

      High doses of Fructose can be very stressful on the Liver (just like alcohol) and vitamin/mineral dificiencies add to the problems.

      (Being overweight isn't as bad for the liver as feeding the liver things it doesn't like.)

      1. Excessive alcohol consumption causes folate and B12 deficiency which leads to malnutrition and this is what damages the liver.

        Again, I repeat, vitamin and mineral deficiencies are the cause of the liver damage. Resolve the malnutrition and the liver recovers.

        HFCS doesn't damage the liver, IMHO, nor does obesity. Obesity is a symptom of the malnutrition, not the cause of the liver damage.

      How did you get better? What did you take to help you?

    Apply any talcum powder if the itching is
    unbearable but don’t scratch the itch! This develops into blisters that eventually scab over.
