Saw a press release from the Canadian Liver Foundation yesterday.
Obesity has overtaken alcohol as the number one cause of liver disease in Canada.
Over 1.4 million Canadians apparently have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD.
15% of obese children have NAFLD.
NAFLD can of course progress to non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis or NASH.
NASH can progress to cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis can progress to death.
Sorry, can't think of anything funny to say today.
