so let’s talk about a fatty liver specifically  non-alcoholic fatty liver disease the reason why  

i wanted to do this video is simply because 25%  of the world population i’m talking about adults  

has this disease in fact 40 percent of  the u.s population talking about adults  

has nafld it’s extremely extremely common but  guess what there’s no symptoms in most cases  

now there’s two types of this disease one  type you just have the fat only and the other  

type is with the fat and the inflammation now  here’s the problem with having a fatty liver  

the symptoms don’t occur right away they take many  years because the fat can then obstruct uh certain  

things in the in the liver like the mitochondria  that then lead to inflammation that then leads to  

insulin resistance and then more insulin more  fat and then scar tissue so we go from a fatty  

liver to a fatty inflamed liver to cirrhosis and  then you need a liver transplant now the problem  

with the fatty liver is the long-term effects  and no symptoms until later so you might not  

take action to change your diet until you have  symptoms because a lot of people are walking  

around thinking well i have time i’ll just wait  it’s not a problem everything shows up normal  

on blood tests and then one day they start seeing  high liver enzymes and start having problems and  

that’s when they change but by that time it could  be a little too late now they are trying to change  

the name of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to  m-a-f-l-d which stands for metabolic dysfunction  

associated with fatty liver disease and the reason  why they’re trying to do that is this right here  

metabolic dysfunction which is really related to  metabolic syndrome syndrome x where you have high  

blood pressure high cholesterol high blood glucose  central obesity your fat right through here  

which is exclusively caused by insulin but let me  just kind of give you a little bit more data about  

this 90 percent of obese people have this right  here sixty percent of diabetics have this problem  

and twenty percent of people with  normal weight have this problem  

with the majority having insulin resistance so  when you look this up and you do research there’s  

all this confusing information it’s it’s all  disconnected it’s not really aligned to an actual  

cause-effect relationship in fact one comment was  the mechanism of accumulation of triglycerides  

that’s the fat that’s accumulating in the  liver is complex and incompletely understood  

so this confusion only occurs if you don’t  know the definition the functional definition  

of the word insulin i mean if you just take  a look in any basic endocrinology textbook  

under the chapter of insulin you’ll quickly  understand that insulin converts glucose to  

triglycerides that’s what’s causing this it’s  high levels of insulin what causes a high level  

of insulin is carbohydrates especially fructose  and omega 6 fatty acids i’m talking about the  

vegetable oils the soy oil  canola corn oil cottonseed oil  

that can lead to insulin resistance and raise  the insulin and create this problem as well  

now if we take a look at non-alcoholic fatty  liver disease and alcoholic fatty liver disease  

two different causes but same damage same effect  so in other words fructose and omega-6 fatty acids  

and other refined carbohydrates have  a very similar effect to alcohol  

on the liver you would think that alcohol creates  the most damage but not necessarily because this  

condition is so common chances are some of you  watching have this issue and if you’re new in my  

channel it’s very very easy to reverse it all you  have to do is you have to understand the mechanism  

and get on the right eating plant i put a link  down below of exactly what you should do and then  

in two or three months from now i would highly  recommend going back getting a real evaluation  

to see the change all right thanks for watching  before you go if you have a question about a  

product or you’re new to keto and you want to  know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and  

you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you  

this is just for the people in the us hopefully in  the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call  

but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
