A study in the journal Cell Metabolism found that the study subjects who at carbs with resistant starch, significantly reduced liver fat. They found that resistant starch feeds bacteria in the large intestine that reduce liver fat and tame inflammation linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. They suggest we add a serving of a food with resistant starch to our meals. Where do we get resistant starch? It is found in whole-wheat pasta, oats, beans, rice and nuts. I believe this study. Years ago, I had a non-alcoholic fatty liver. After becoming diabetic, I got rid of all refined grains and turned to whole-wheat bread, pastas, etc. My fatty liver disappeared. In my routine blood work several times a year, my liver is fine.
