> often recommended for morbidly obese patients with fatty liver disease
> is associated with increased liver inflammation, physicians at Johns

>
> Conversely, high fat diets were associated with a lower risk for
> inflammation, according to study results presented at the 54th Annual
> Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases.
>
> Dr. Jeanne M. Clark, assistant professor of medicine, said in an
> interview that the results are hypothesis-generating and point out the
> need for a prospective study. "But meanwhile, once again we are faced

> It appears, Dr. Clark said, that recommending low-fat diet in morbidly
