On World Liver Day, doctors warn that excessive sugar and oil consumption can lead to non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) in one-third of Indians.

On World Liver Day, doctors warn that excessive sugar and oil consumption can be as harmful to liver health as alcohol, leading to non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) with severe complications. A study by AIIMS reveals that over one-third of Indians have fatty liver or NAFLD, affecting nearly 35% of children. The westernization of diets, characterized by increased fast food consumption and a lack of fruits and vegetables, plays a significant role in the rise of fatty liver diseases.
