Questions are being raised that why people fall prey to this disease even after not drinking alcohol. Health experts say that fatty liver disease is a silent killer. This disease gradually spreads throughout the body and destroys the liver completely. Liver transplantation is also required in this situation. Worryingly, cases of fatty liver are on the rise even among non-drinkers. This is called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Improper eating habits also spoil the health of the liver. In recent years, the trend of fast food has increased a lot among people. The diet also includes foods made from white flour, which directly damages the liver and causes fatty liver.
