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."
