Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly becoming common among adolescents and young adults due to modern lifestyle factors like poor diet, sedentary habits, and obesity. Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist trained at Harvard and Stanford, points out that consuming sugary foods can lead to excess fructose conversion into liver fat, potentially causing NAFLD. If untreated, NAFLD can progress to severe liver issues, like cirrhosis, necessitating a liver transplant. It’s vital to address this rising concern to prevent long-term health complications.
