Unhealthy foods strain liver cells and cause fat buildup, expert warns

Medical researcher Fahd Al-Khudairi has expressed concern that consuming unhealthy foods can cause stress to liver cells and result in excessive fat buildup, according to his recent post on the X platform. Al-Khudairi explained that foods rich in saturated fats and sugars can have a detrimental effect on liver cells, leading to the accumulation of fat within the liver and subsequently causing an increase in liver enzyme levels.

He highlighted specific examples of harmful foods and drinks, such as fried foods, margarine, butter, sugary foods and desserts, soft drinks, sweetened beverages, and alcohol, all of which contribute to the problem of elevated liver enzymes.
