Fatty Liver

[Lollipop]

I found this study on the fruit Camu Camu helping to heal a fatty liver and thought this could be a thread to discuss all things fatty liver.

I thought no red meat, and definitely  ABSOLUTLEY NOT well done meat can help fatty liver as well as not eating too much fat etc…? so maybe steak tartare or rare steaks can be OK?

also mineral deficiencies can contribute to fatty liver and with the modern agricultural system… pretty bad

More generally, increased dietary phosphate increases the activity of an important regulatory enzyme, protein kinase B, which promotes organ growth. A high phosphate diet increases the growth of liver (Xu, et al., 2008) and lung (Jin, et al., 2007), and promotes the growth of lung cancer (Jin, et al., 2009). An extreme reduction of phosphate in the diet wouldn’t be appropriate, however, because a phosphate deficiency stimulates cells to increase the phosphate transporter, increasing the cellular uptake of phosphate, with an effect similar to the dietary excess of phosphate, i.e., promotion of lung cancer (Xu, et al., 2010). The optimum dietary amount of phosphate, and its balance with other minerals, hasn’t been determined.

While increased phosphate slows mitochondrial energy production, decreasing its intracellular concentration increases the respiratory rate and the efficiency of ATP formation. A “deficiency” of polyunsaturated fatty acids has this effect (Nogueira, et al., 2001), but so does the consumption of fructose (Green, et al., 1993; Lu, et al., 1994).” -Ray Peat

“Caffeine protects the liver from alcohol and acetaminophen (Tylenol) and other toxins, and coffee drinkers are less likely than people who don’t use coffee to have elevated serum enzymes and other indications of liver damage.” -Ray Peat

Interesting study about orange peel powder reducing fatty liver disease.  Orange marmalade is one yummy way to eat those peels 🙂

Thank you for sharing @Cari!

I have so many ways I eat citrus peels now and haven’t made marmalade for about a year. I have read so many benefits from them that I can’t throw them away! The peels have much more vitamin C vitamin than the juice!

I should study this subject more. But I thought losing weight in itself should mean the liver slims down, too, and so improves function. Am I wrong in thinking that is a Peat take?

@Lilac I haven’t heard Ray say anything on fatty liver and weight loss, but it would be interesting to hear what he has said on it. Here is something I just ran across while eating my strained Greek yogurt with the blueberry blood orange marmalade I made today…
