For example, they focus on consuming vegetables, fruits, whole grains, protein, and dairy, and deemphasize highly processed foods, refined carbohydrates, sugary drinks, added sugars, and excess sodium. An eating pattern centered on unprocessed, familiar foods instead of packaged calories is exactly what clinicians advise for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
