alright guys so today we’re gonna answer

the question will eating fat make my

liver of fat okay I did have a question

from someone that wanted to know about

this they were concerned about this I’m

eating this ketogenic diet it’s so high

in fat isn’t that gonna cause a fatty

liver okay well let’s just talk about

the number one cause of a fatty liver

would be alcohol okay that’s number one

number two would be fructose high

fructose corn syrup all right and number

three would be high carb diets but let’s

go to the research and see what that

says okay well I was only able to find

one study okay on this topic there’s

actually not a lot of data out there on

this there’s actually no studies that I

could find other than this one so let’s

just go ahead and cover it and this is

titled the influence of dietary fat on

liver fat accumulation okay I’ll put a

link down below so you can check it out

it’s a little confusing so I’m gonna try

to kind of go through it since we

identified that protein and cholesterol

consumption were associated with

elevated risk whereas consumption of

carbohydrates was associated with a

decreased risk of hospitalization or

death related to cirrhosis or liver

cancer so they didn’t really mention a

fatty liver they kind of stuck in the

cirrhosis and liver cancer so I don’t

really know if they’re talking about a

fatty liver or cirrhosis or cancer but

they did say that they identified

protein in cholesterol consumption okay

so we’ll keep moving up says the strong

association between cholesterol intake

and cirrhosis or liver cancer I don’t

know why they are not saying a fatty

liver is potentially our studies most

important finding now in rabbits and in

mice a high cholesterol diet has been

shown to induce a fatty liver

inflammation and fibrosis all right they

did bring that up a high cholesterol

diet will cause a fatty liver

inflammation and fibrosis in rabbits and

mice okay alright so I need to bring up

what these mice and rabbits ate okay

that’s very very important the high

cholesterol high-fat diet really was a

high cholesterol and fat / - sucrose it

was high in malta dextrose

and it was high in dextrose itself which

is a synthetic sugar okay so anytime you

mix sugar with fat you’re gonna create a

fatty liver so it wasn’t just a purely

fat diet with low carb so the problem is

no there’s no standard definition of

what a high fat diet is in these studies

that is a big problem

and then as far as the rabbit I couldn’t

get the exact formula but what I did

find is they put the rabbit on peanut

oil corn oil coconut oil sucrose and

corn starch okay so we know that which

again it’s like who’s gonna consume that

and if they did they would probably get

a lot of liver problems okay we are not

aware of any other human studies linking

cholesterol intake to human liver

disease Wow this is the only one I guess

our finding that dietary cholesterol but

not serum cholesterol was associated

with cirrhosis or liver cancer could

have profound implications if confirmed

by other studies okay

now I just want to bring up one point

they’re talking about dietary

cholesterol not serum cholesterol so in

other words they found that people with

high cholesterol in the blood did not

create these problems it was not

associated with these problems it was

only the increase in intake but we all

we already know what they’re in taking

the mice Chow the rabbit food was

actually a high carb diet okay for

example it could suggest that drugs

blocking intestinal cholesterol

absorption could have a more beneficial

effect to the liver than drugs blocking

hepatic cholesterol synthesis like I

don’t know why they’re bringing up the

drug thing now and they’re kind of

hinting that hey you know we can use

drugs to fix this problem

let’s move on check this out and says we

are not aware of any studies

investigating the effects of

carbohydrate intake on the progression

of liver disease in humans well there

sure is a heck of a lot of studies out

there and I will put the links down

below showing that a high carb diet will

affect the liver and actually even cause

a fatty liver

but it goes on to say this contrary to

our findings in the recent study has

found that patients with non-alcoholic

fatty liver disease consumed two to

three times more fructose than the

controls which may be linked to the

development of the fatty liver etc etc

etc but it goes on to say our data did

not allow us to determine the specific

fructose intake so basically they said

they’re not aware of any studies but

then they actually they said there are

studies but they didn’t evaluate

fructose okay whatever

alright we did not find any association

between dietary intake of saturated

fatty acids or the mono saturated fatty

acids oleic acid and cirrhosis or liver

cancer so that’s totally confusing

because I thought they said they did

find it but I guess what they’re

differentiating is they found high

cholesterol diets might be apparently

different than high saturated fatty

diets this is really confusing because

on one part of it talks about a high

cholesterol diet and this says a diet

high in saturated fat so there must be

maybe two different diets that are using

I have a no idea so this is a very

confusing study and I really don’t put a

lot of credibility in the study but to

really imply that consuming high amounts

of fat are gonna cause a fatty liver are

misleading simply because the ketogenic

diet is a low carb diet and this is the

most important thing you need to know if

you consume higher fats yet keep your

carbs low you are going to be protected

against getting if I deliver okay but if

you actually add the carbs in here that

is going to cause the problem because as

you increase insulin from the

carbohydrates okay what you’re gonna do

is you’re gonna force fat to go into the

fat cell to the point where it’s

saturated and it’s filled up there’s no

more space there but then it’s gonna

spill off into the Orient’s and around

the organs as well and that’s called

visceral fat and then with that you

start developing a fatty liver so when

you overwhelm the body with too much

carbohydrate that carbohydrate that it’s

not burned up needs to get stored and if

there’s no more spaces it will

go in the liver and that’s really what’s

behind a fatty liver and the reason I’m

saying that is because when you put a

person on a healthy keto plan you

improve a fatty liver okay why because

you lower the carbs you force the body

to use its own store of fat so just

think about what’s happening when you do

ketosis you’re mobilizing fat and 40% of

the fat is turning into ketones okay so

it’s the process of burning fat so I

mean if you had a failure liver wouldn’t

you want to burn up the fat and use this

stored fat as energy whether you consume

more fat or less fat is really dependent

on this carbohydrate amount all right
