One in three adults affected by Fatty Liver Disease, KCU expert says

Recent research shows one in three U.S. adults may be affected by fatty liver disease, with excessive alcohol consumption as a major contributor. Dr. Ken Stewart explains that when the liver’s VCP protein isn’t functioning properly, fatty lipids accumulate, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes and liver cancer. Limiting alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight and regular checkups can help detect and prevent the disease.
