Fatty Liver: The Lie About Fats You Should Know
For decades, fats have been blamed for the development of fatty liver disease. However, when we analyze how liver metabolism actually works, we see that the problem is usually not dietary fats, but rather excess energy intake, insulin resistance, and the regular consumption of sugars and ultra-processed foods.
In this video, I explain, from a physiological perspective, what really happens in the liver when this condition develops, why excess carbohydrates can be transformed into liver fat, and what role lifestyle habits play in the prevention and improvement of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Because when you understand how metabolism works, you stop oversimplifying nutrition with messages like "fats are bad" and begin to understand the real context.
Throughout this video, you will understand:
– What physiological functions the liver performs
– How it regulates glucose and lipids
– What role triglycerides play in the body
– Why fats are not the main problem
– How excess carbohydrates can be converted into fat
– What de novo lipogenesis is
– How fructose is metabolized
– Why fruit doesn't act the same as added sugar
– What factors promote the accumulation of liver fat
– What strategies help improve this condition
Metabolic health doesn't depend on eliminating nutrients, but on understanding how diet, exercise, and hormonal regulation interact.
