Low-GI Diet Protects Mice from Fatty Liver Disease

Filed in archive Diet , Notable , Research on September 28, 2007

We already know that diabetics should favor carbs with low-glycemic index instead of those high-GI ones or the quick-burning carbs.

Low-GI Diet Protects Mice from Fatty Liver Disease



Not only because high-GI foods play havoc with the blood sugar levels but also because it will expand our waistlines and may cause fatty liver.

Fatty liver is a condition that as the name suggests is the build-up of excess fats in the liver that (according to a new mice study) can lead to liver failure and death.

In the said mice study, the group of mice on low-GI diet was protected from fatty liver disease.

According to the study's researchers, if the findings are confirmed in humans, then maybe fatty liver disease can be prevented and hopefully will be treated by dietary changes.
