Love your liver

I just came back from a seminar hosted by the Canadian Liver Foundation.  I found the information about liver disease fascinating, and I will be looking for ways to contribute to that foundation.  But here is a little information I'd like to share with you.

Obesity is the major cause of fatty liver disease.  According to statistics,  more than 50% of Canadians are overweight.  It is estimated that 75% of obese individuals are at risk of developing a simple fatty liver and up to 23% of obese individuals are at risk of developing fatty liver with inflammation.

Here is the website of Canadian Liver Foundation for your reference.
