Red Meat Consumption and Risk of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in a Population With Low Meat Consumption: The Golestan Cohort Study
Generous intake of red and organ meat may favor the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
This study examined whether fondness for meat can increase an individual's chances of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). A total of 1,612 men and women participated in this study. During the course of the study, 505 cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease were recorded.
Researchers found a high incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease among participants who enjoyed consuming red and organ meat. This study provides evidence that including more red and organ meat to our diet may be detrimental to our liver health.
