Why do you have a fatty liver?

Answer 1

According to information found on the Mayo Clinic website, there are two types of fatty liver disease. One is nonalcoholic and is generally caused by obesity and a high fat diet (my words, not exactly the words used by Mayo Clinic but basically similar info).

It is common and usually does not cause harm. However, in SOME people, it can lead to liver failure.

Alcoholic fatty liver is a whole other animal. As long as the person continues to drink, it can definitely progress to liver failure, especially in heavy alcoholics. The liver can only process so much alcohol per day or even per hour before the liver is affected.

Answer 2

Actually, there are many causes, from hereditary issues with processing fat to Alcoholism. Obesity is a major cause. It isn't just about eating high fat foods but your whole lifestyle, from getting a balance of foods to exercise and staying at goal weight.
