The big crash diet - BBC
Been watching this programme on BBC and there's a part where one of the participants is diagnosed with fatty liver due to being overweight. Apparently it affects up to a third of us. Many people only see drinking as the culprit for liver disease but I think poor diet and processed sugar in particular
