Today we return to Examine.com and one of their reviews on a recent study on “changes in macronutrients and changes in liver fat.”
If you know a little biochemistry, this should be a no-brainer. So, let’s see what was discovered and what skewed conclusions they drew from it.
What was studied?
“Associations between changes in macronutrient intake and changes in liver fat.”
Well, we know for sure of one macronutrient that is both toxic and unnecessary for human health, and that is carbohydrates. We also know that any kind of oil, as in “fat” from any plant is chemically incompatible with human physiology and therefore also toxic, not to mention that they go rancid the second they are exposed to oxygen, light, and/or heat.
The common nominator is plant-derived slave edibles, as in the vegan and vegetarian psy-op, the deception to feed humans toxic garbage to keep them weak, sickly, docile and dependent. And of course, any and all of these will wreak havoc on your liver in the long run.
Who was studied?
“248 participants (ages 50–80; 66% women, 34% men) in Germany.
The participants had at least one risk factor for unhealthy aging: high blood pressure (or taking blood-pressure-lowering medication), cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment, or impaired physical function.”
Sadly, that includes most of the population of Earth today, as all these health issues from consuming a non-species non-appropriate diet of plant-derived foods slowly creeps up on you and you get conditioned and accustomed to the slow-paced changes in your declining health, forgetting how it is to actually feel and be a human, as in the unlimited energy and curiosity you had as a little kid.
Remember, humans are obligate hyper carnivores. We can only be healthy and fully living if we follow a real carnivore diet.
How was it studied?
“A prospective cohort study was conducted using data from a 12-month randomized controlled trial. In the intervention group, the participants were instructed to consume 35% to 40% of calories from fat, with an emphasis on unsaturated fat (and no more than 10% of calories from saturated fat); 15% to 25% of calories from protein, with an emphasis on plant-based sources; and 35% to 45% of calories from carbohydrates, with an emphasis on low-glycemic-index foods. They were also told to eat more than 30 grams of fiber per day. They were given 1 liter of rapeseed oil and fiber-enriched, high-protein foods to encourage dietary adherence.
The control group received dietary recommendations in accordance with national dietary guidelines.”
Those food recommendations are truly bad, extremely unhealthy. Rapeseed oil, as any seed/vegetable-oil is extremely toxic and will damage a lot of tissues, including your organs. And having an emphasis on plant-based garbage will contribute to the toxic load, especially with all the harmful and deadly defense chemicals, antinutrients, heavy metals, and pesticide residues. Still, the lowered intake of carbohydrates will reduce the immediate threat, the repeated acute poisoning from elevated blood glucose which is the most damaging factor for all organs and soft tissues, especially the liver.
So, although the diet was extremely toxic and will actually damage the liver over time due to all the toxins and unhealthy unsaturated plant-based fats, the reduction of carbohydrates should let the liver recover a little bit and also make the body use some of any unnecessary liver fat.
“Three-day food records were used to assess dietary intake, and liver fat was measured using magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The participants were categorized according to how much their intake of different macronutrients changed during the study.”
Does not sound very strict nor controlled, but let’s roll with it.
What were the results?
“Greater increases in intakes of protein or polyunsaturated fat were associated with a greater reduction in liver fat. The same was true for a greater decrease in carbohydrate intake.”
Protein will only help the liver if you previously were deficient in certain amino acids, as in really starving and having an incredibly low protein intake — or relying mostly on totally worthless plant-based “protein sources,” as the “protein” in plants is incomplete and bound to fiber, making it extremely hard to digest, absorb, and utilize.
Polyunsaturated fats from plant sources will not help the liver in any way, it will actually damage the liver. Wise up you stupid, stupid, researchers and reviewers. This is basic and very simple biochemistry.
The only thing that actually mattered for liver health was the reduction in carbohydrates, as in less unnatural onslaughts of damaging blood glucose.
Also, if you’re told to increase either fat or protein, or both, guess what? Yes, carbohydrates will be lowered to make room for more of the other macronutrients. So, again, not a mechanic of increased protein or fat, but the mechanics of decreased carbohydrates. This is child-level logic and understanding.
“Further analysis indicated that the effects of increasing protein intake and decreasing carbohydrate intake on liver fat were mainly achieved through reducing body weight, whereas the effect of polyunsaturated fat was at least partly independent of changes in body weight.”
No, correlation does not imply causation. By reducing carbohydrates and thus lowering the spikes of blood glucose, your body will be able to use more fat as energy, including body fat. If some participants lost weight, their bodies also used a bit more liver fat as energy. It was simply the result of a more natural metabolism, shifting to using more fat as energy instead of glucose.
So, to conclude, we already knew that carbohydrates has to be broken down to glucose, and as our bodies are meant to manufacture our own glucose in exact amounts through gluconeogenesis, introducing more glucose by consuming the wrong kind of food puts enormous stress on the body as all that excess and unnatural glucose has to be neutralized and/or stored as glycogen and body fat as quickly as possible as to minimize the damage to soft tissues. And yes, the liver is one of the organs that has to store excess glucose as glycogen all while taking damage, resulting ultimately in fatty liver.
In other words, by simply reducing or preferably removing carbohydrates, this process is reversed and liver health will improve. And that has nothing to do with protein or fats, it’s simply a mechanic of glucose, as in limiting the consumption of carbohydrates.
