Ultra-Processed Food Intake Is Associated with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The addition of more ultra-processed foods to our diets may fuel the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
This study assessed the correlation between high dietary exposure to ultra-processed foods and the likelihood of having non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Researchers conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis on data obtained from 9 studies involving over 60,000 individuals.
Researchers observed that the odds of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) went up with frequent intake of ultra-processed foods. This study pointed out that following a diet that promotes the consumption of ultra-processed foods may increase an individual's susceptibility to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
