Foods worse for liver than alcohol

Alcohol has a direct effect on the liver, causing fatty liver disease. Drinking alcohol also increases the risk of liver cancer. However, there are some foods which also damage liver.

Here is a list of food that can damage liver apart from alcohol:

Fried Foods: Foods like French fries, fried chicken, and other deep-fried items can contribute to liver damage over time due to their high calorie and trans fat content.

Sugary Foods: Excessive consumption of sugary foods and beverages, such as sodas, candies, and desserts, can lead to fatty liver disease.

Processed Foods: Packaged snacks, fast food, and processed meals often contain high levels of additives, and preservatives that can damage liver.

High-Sodium Foods: Foods high in sodium, like processed meats, canned soups, and fast food, can lead to liver damage by causing fluid retention 

Red and Processed Meats: Consumption of red meats and processed meats in excess has been linked to an increased risk of liver disease due to their saturated fat.
