Fast food favourites like burgers, fries, pizza, and the like are now known to contribute to the onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a condition in which fat builds up in the liver and can be fatal.
Based on an analysis of health information from 4,000 adults whose fatty liver measurements were included in the most recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, scientists discovered that people with obesity or diabetes who consume one-fifth or more of their daily calories from fast food have significantly elevated levels of liver fat compared to those who eat less or no fast food (from 2017–18).
Additionally, individuals who got at least 20% of their nutrition from fast food saw modest increases in liver fat.
