for some nice news from Australia.

......."We also discovered that babies who were breastfed for at 
least six months were about 20 per cent less likely to develop the 
condition as teenagers, and those with the disease were generally 
heavier than those without it during early childhood," Dr Ayonrinde said.

Though breastfeeding protected against the disease, a western diet 
high in saturated fats and refined sugars and lack of exercise 
increased the risk.

"Fatty liver disease is not a benign condition and it's not something 
that happens over a few weeks or months but something that may have 
its origins in childhood," he said.

"This study highlights the need for non-invasive tests to help us to 
learn who may be at risk early enough so that lifestyle changes can 
prevent the onset of liver disease."
