Your liver has over 500 functions. It detoxifies toxic compounds, renders them harmless, and exports fat to prevent a fatty liver. Glutathione is an important compound that helps neutralize toxins in the liver.


Fructose consumption is the leading cause of chronic liver disease. High-fructose corn syrup is in everything from soda, cereal, and granola bars to ketchup and yogurt.


Unlike glucose, fructose can only be metabolized by the liver. Once fructose enters the liver, it activates fat accumulation and blocks fat-burning. Children as young as 2 are developing fatty livers! Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common cause of liver transplants.


Tylenol is the number one cause of acute liver failure in the United States. It depletes glutathione, inhibiting your liver’s ability to neutralize toxins. Early signs of liver damage include nausea, fatigue, vomiting, and flu-like symptoms.


The liver is one of the only organs that can completely regenerate. Eliminating high-fructose corn syrup from the diet and taking choline and NAC can help reverse liver damage and support liver health.

The number one thing that's destroying your liver is actually not alcohol.

0:04.7

And yes, alcohol-related liver disease affects 16 million Americans every single year.

0:11.0

And that's a big number.

0:12.1

Something that people think is harmless that's currently causing chronic liver disease in 100 million people.

you eat, everything you breathe, everything you put on your skin eventually ends up in your

blood and your liver. I mean, even the lotion that you put on your hand, you know, in about a few
