The Natural Solution for Fatty Liver Disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rarely mentioned as one of America’s worst health threats. Heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes get far more publicity.
More than 30% of Americans have NAFLD. It’s also known simply as fatty liver.

You may associate liver problems with drinking. But obesity is the primary cause of fatty liver. The number of cases has exploded in recent years, as Americans have gotten heavier.
Here’s the worst part
Fatty liver is a stealth killer. Most people who have it don’t know it.

Although the exact cause of NAFLD is unknown, it’s been established that sugar consumption is linked with the condition.
A new study offers hope for a better solution…a way to prevent the disease from progressing. Researchers have found that a natural sweetener can stop NAFLD and its awful complications. >
Scientists fed mice a diet of high-fat food and sugar. As it does in humans, this type of diet caused the animals to start to show signs of fatty liver.
Researchers then substituted stevia for sugar. Stevia is a natural, plant-derived non-sugar sweetener.
The change was remarkable.
Stevia lowered the rodents’ glucose levels and improved their insulin sensitivity. It also reduced levels of fat and scarring in their livers. These are all markers of NAFLD.

Stevia has soared in popularity in recent years as people have looked for a natural alternative to chemical sweeteners such as saccharin, aspartame, sucralose, and acesulfame K.
