🔬 The Science

Why this works

The evidence behind each food choice.

  1. 1Fructose (not glucose) is metabolised exclusively by the liver — excess turns directly into fat.
  2. 2Coffee has the strongest evidence for liver protection — 3+ cups daily reduces fibrosis risk 30%.
  3. 3Mediterranean diet reverses fatty liver in 70% of patients.
  4. 4Weight loss of just 5% reduces liver fat 30%. 10% loss often reverses NAFLD entirely.
  5. 5Vitamin E (800 IU) shows benefit but requires medical supervision.
💡 Tips

Beyond the food
