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.
