Ask A Cardiothoracic Surgeon: The #1 Danger of Fatty Liver Isn’t Liver Failure, It’s Cardiovascular Disease (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m Dr. Michael Richman, a double board certified cardiothoracic surgeon. Fatty liver disease has reached pandemic levels. Worldwide, anywhere from 37% to 51% of adults have MASLD.

The Esselstyn diet claims that a whole-food, plant-based diet (eliminating all meat, dairy, fish, and added oils) can arrest and even reverse coronary artery disease (CAD).
