Association between consumption of edible seaweeds and newly diagnosed non-alcohol fatty liver disease: The TCLSIH Cohort Study
High dietary intake of edible seaweeds could lower the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in both men and women.
This study looked at the rate of occurrence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among frequent and infrequent consumers of edible seaweeds in a study cohort comprising of 24,572 Chinese men and women. Dietary habits and incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease were ascertained through validated food frequency questionnaires and hospital records respectively.
Researchers noted that greater intake of edible seaweeds correlated with better protection against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, especially among non-obese individuals. This study suggests that creating more space for edible seaweeds in our plates may boost our defenses against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
