A member asked:
Can a vegan diet help with fatty liver and how long for a liver of 16.7 cm to return back to normal size?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and No: It's what a patient eats, and not the label on his type of diet, that matters. Fatty liver worsens with the eating of sugars and simple carbs. Sugars and simple carbs are usually vegan (not of animal origin). Thus, a vegan will want to eat non-animal food items that are low in sugars and low in simple carbohydrates.
