The Australian Liver Association (ALA) commissioned a report that found 5.5 million Australians now have Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) (2013) making it the most prevalent form of liver disease.

Some people with fatty liver disease simply have excess fat in their liver. Although not normal, it's not serious if it doesn't lead to inflammation or damage. However, once there's a build-up of fat, the liver becomes vulnerable to injury.

The insidious nature of this disease is that most people do not have symptoms.

The most common causes of fatty liver disease is a high fat diet with those suffering from obesity and diabetes - mellitus being at the highest risk.

This book is an indispensable NAFLD guide for raising awareness, recognizing the signs and symptoms, diagnosing and managing fatty liver disease.

Healing Fatty Liver Disease explains the impact of food types and lifestyle factors and provides about 100 recipes to manage the disease.

About 10 recipes I would make. Tells you what not to eat then includes it in the recipes and goes against what my doctors said.
