what is fatty liver?!
Question:
Answers:
If you have fatty liver, it can be from drinking heavily or drinking massive amounts of soda. Most soda uses high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar, this leads to fatty buildup in the liver. Children are more prone to this these days because the soda companies switched from regular fructose to high fructose corn syrup. If you suspect you have fatty liver, the non alcoholic type NASH or the alchoholic kind, you should have your liver enzymes checked and have your liver looked at on a sonogram.
Other Answers:
Fatty liver or Steatorrhoeic Hepatosis is a reversible condition seen in chronic alcoholism and many other conditions, where large vacuoles of lipid accumulate in hepatocytes (the cells of the liver). Accumulation of fat in liver cells will cause the liver to enlarge. The lipid within the vacuoles is a particular type of lipid known as triglyceride. Triglyceride molecules consist of a glycerol backbone with three fatty acid molecules joined on.

When the body's insulin doesn't properly use the sugars and fats ingested, the fats and sugars travel and deposit in the liver. Diet and exercise are the best way to treat. For more information you can look up "fatty liver disease" or "non-alcoholic fatty liver disease." Not a lot was known on this pre-1980.
