Increased consumption of sweet potatoes may offer men significant protection against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

This research work studied if preferential consumption of sweet potatoes can slash non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) risk. Researchers gathered information on the nutrition and health of 15,787 Chinese adults. 

Researchers observed that fondness for sweet potatoes was associated with lower risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in men. The findings of this study reveal that adequate intake of sweet potatoes may help hinder the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in men.
