(Natural News) A recent study has found that supplementation with glutathione could help reverse liver damage associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is characterized by the accumulation of excess fat in the liver, which, if left untreated, can progress to a more aggressive form of liver disease called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NASH is accompanied by inflammation […]

(Natural News) Some microorganisms can raise a person’s blood alcohol to dangerously high levels, even if he hasn’t touched a drop of alcohol his whole life. In a study published in the journal Cell Metabolism, certain types of gut bacteria can ferment carbohydrates into alcohol within the body — a condition known as auto-brewery syndrome (ABS). A team of […]

(Natural News) In the 1960s, inhabitants of Crete, Greece and Southern Italy had some of the lowest rates of chronic diseases and some of the highest life expectancies in the world. According to research, this was the result of eating more fruits and vegetables traditionally grown in their region, as well as plenty of nuts, seeds, beans, seafood […]

(Natural News) Greek researchers studied the effects of the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) on the clinical, biochemical and inflammatory profile of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients with simple steatosis. Their findings were published in the Journal of Medicinal Food.  Diet is a modifiable key factor targeted in the prevention and management of NAFLD. To measure the […]

(Natural News) Extracts from the medicinal mushroom Cordyceps militaris can potentially be used to prevent — even reverse — nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), one of the most prevalent forms of liver disease among American adults. In a study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, researchers from South Korea investigated whether C. militaris can regulate lipogenesis in the […]

(Natural News) Fatty liver disease, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), affects nearly 25 percent of people around the world. A new study recommends people with this disease to cut down their sugar intake to reduce fat in their liver. In the study, a team of U.S. researchers focused on reducing dietary free sugars, such […]

(Natural News) Giving your children sweet treats may seem like the easiest way to get them to do what you ask, but you may be putting their health at risk by doing that. Consumption of added sugars is known to be harmful to a person’s health, regardless of age. For this reason, health experts discourage consuming these sugars. In a […]

(Natural News) Rare earth metals are rarely associated with health and medicinal uses. Strontium is one of the few chemical elements to have been documented for use in the medical field. Though its applications in medicine have mainly concerned bone health, researchers from China explored the effects of strontium on fatty livers and determined these mechanisms may […]

(Natural News) Chinese researchers test the effect of strontium, an alkaline earth metal, on endoplasmic reticulum stress in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease models. Their findings were published in the Journal of Medicinal Food. The researchers aim to explore the effects of strontium on fatty liver and to determine the mechanisms by which strontium improves nonalcoholic fatty liver […]

(Natural News) In a new study that was published in the Journal of Hepatology, researchers were able to surmise that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is not only associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but also to cancers that have nothing to do with the liver, such as colorectal and breast cancers. “NAFLD is a very […]
