Can taurine treat fatty liver?
A research done by scientists from the University of London’s School of Pharmacy, claim that taurine could undo the liver damage done by alcoholism.
Taurine is a core ingredient in bile and helps in the digestion of fats and the absorption of vitamins that are capable of fat dissolvent. It is an essential acid that our body manufactures naturally.
The researchers gave rats excessive amounts of alcohol, and some amount of taurine for one month. They found that it prevented fat build-up around the liver, and more unexpectedly, taurine reversed the liver damaged caused by the alcohol.
Additional research done by scientists in Ireland, found that tautine has similar effect in children with fatty liver disease due to obesity (Non-alcoholic fatty liver or NAFLD).

Hello,
I was wanting to ask if anyone out there would have a diet plan to lose weight fast. My daughter has NAFLD she is 15yrs old and the doctors are telling me this could be life threatening for her and that they want her to lose at least 50 lbs fast. We have started a new life style here with are eating habits and exercising now daily . Im looking for ideas on foods to keep her from getting so bored with the same ole thing.
Any information you have with be helpful. Thank you for your time and ideas!

Fast weight loss is not the answer. It can actually make the problem worse.
Surprised the doctor didn’t tell you that.
