We came across this article in today’s Sydney Morning Herald newspaper (page 4) which has alarming information for parents regarding Liver Disease and why children are developing this disease today.
With the increase of childhood obesity also comes the increase risk of fatty liver disease in children. Within the article it states that “Doctors say they are seeing children as young as nine with the condition, which develops when there is so mich fat in the liver that it can’t process it”.

Then Dr Avi Lemberg said “There’s probably a significant proportion of the population out there with fatty liver disease and they don’t know it”
