you'll live forever if you're pure of heart!
I wonder how many regenerative nodules I have these days
That's the 'spirit'
Fun fact, Non-Alcoholic fatty liver disease is now the number one cause of fatty liver disease!
So liver disease causes liver disease?
No, it's just a reflection of how our diets have changed over time. When fatty liver disease was first being categorized. It only happened in alcoholics. So fatty liver disease meant The patient was an alcoholic. However, now with high glucose-driving diets, elevated insulin levels, the vast majority of fatty liver disease patients don't drink alcohol....
So we have this awkward naming scheme because our diets have changed faster then our language
1 large pizza, 1 jumbo tortilla chips, with bean dip and 3 beers will make you fat. Eating it all over the course of a single football game, every time your team is playing a game, will make your liver fat.
A fatty liver makes you crave MORE pizza, more tortilla chips with bean dip and more beers. Making it even fatter. Also makes YOU fatter too btw.
So yes. Liver disease causes liver disease.
What’s the cause if not alcohol?
Persistently elevated insulin from high glucose driving diets.
Even "healthy" people end up putting glucose food into their mouths 8 or more times per day. Insulin inhibits the body from mobilizing fat, and the liver builds up fat stores it cant get rid of.
The fastest way to resolve fatty liver is to stop eating food that elevates blood glucose - i.e. carbohydrates.
Excess fat
High starch diets?
So much fun! All the brain fog, spiking blood sugar and weight gain without the enjoyment of alcohol!
Might as well just start drinking

Some days I really feel the urge yes.
You know, I'm kinda surprised the French don't have some recipie that requires feeding a cow alcohol until it got a fatty liver.
Sorry, gotta choke a goose for a bit.
It's easier than that. Dairy cows can get fatty livers during calving if improperly fed.
Is fatty dairy cow liver a french delicacy?
Foie de boeuf!
Maybe if it was cheap vodka or something but we'd never waste the good stuff like this.
I could actually see the French claiming it's MUCH different tasting when the cow gets the fatty liver disease obly from good cognac versus the regular bottom shelf booze
