Abstract
The relentlessly increasing prevalence of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) represents yet another chronic disease epidemic. Why have so many chronic diseases become so common? This editorial discusses NAFLD in the context of a few of the factors that underlie so much of chronic disease: excessive fructose consumption; sedentary lifestyle; poor diet; body load of bisphenols, phthalates, per-/polyfluorinated substances, and polychlorobiphenyls; and several commonly prescribed drugs.
