The habit of abusing carbohydrate foods is fraught with serious problems with the liver, the development of fatty organ disease.
A diet rich in carbohydrates (primarily refined – in the form of sweets, flour products, white rice) is closely associated with the development of NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in humans. This was reported to Lenta.ru, referring to an interview with a gastroenterologist, MD Dipa Shah.
The expert explained that when carbohydrates are digested, blood sugar levels rise and the sugar-distributing hormone insulin is produced in response. Frequent or excessive consumption of carbohydrates contributes to the fact that the cells of the body become less and less sensitive to this hormone. This type of insulin resistance contributes to fatty liver and NAFLD.

“Insulin resistance can cause elevated triglyceride levels and increased absorption of fatty acids by the liver, which ultimately can cause NAFLD,” said Deepa Shah.
The medic added that people who are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes should also have their liver checked. Obesity of this organ in diabetics is a common problem.
