The Liver And Obesity.

The liver produces a yellowish green fluid called bile. Bile
consists of water, bile salts, and a pigment referred to as
bilirubin, which is necessary for the breakdown of fats by
the intestines. The liver produces bile continuously and its
flow to the intestines is very important in the overall
function of waste elimination. If the production of bile
somehow becomes compromised, those fat globules collected by
the lymphatic system will not be processed by the liver.

The Liver And Alcohol.

Normal liver function is essential to life. Alcohol-induced
liver damage disrupts the metabolism of the body, eventually
impairing the function of other organs. Most of the alcohol
a person drinks is eventually broken down by the liver.
However, some products generated during alcohol metabolism
are more toxic than alcohol itself. In addition, a group of
metabolic products called free radicals can damage liver
cells and promote inflammation, impairing vital functions
such as energy production. The natural defenses against free
radicals can be inhibited by alcohol consumption, leading to
increased liver damage

The Liver And Caffeine.

A quote from December 2005 Gastroenterology. - It showed a
protective effect from coffee and tea. People who routinely
drank more than two cups of coffee or tea per day faced only
half the risk of being hospitalized with cirrhosis and other
types of serious liver disease as did people consuming less
of these drinks. The data, collected as part of a federal
survey of a cross-section of U.S. adults, spanned roughly 20
years and included 9,849 people.
