I found this article on line and with Spring coming along quickly I thought it would be informative.
One of the most important organs in the body is your liver. The liver has many functions such as excretion of hormones, drugs and cholesterol, metabolizing protein, fat and carbohydrates, blood detoxification and purification (every minute your liver filters more than one litter of blood), activation of enzymes and storing vitamins, minerals and glycogen. Beside all of these, the liver works with other organs in the body to process and digest food properly. Your liver can heal and recover itself quickly but it can also get damaged quickly. Statistics show that more than 25% of Americans have fatty livers.
-You can improve your liver by consuming organic diet, avoiding alcohol, antibiotics and antacids, consuming less animal products, less of foods that have bad cholesterol, saturated fats and carbohydrates; avoiding toxic foods, additives, preservatives and genetically modified foods.
-Based on a study by University of Australia, genetically modified wheat can stimulate enzyme suppresser. The enzyme suppressor might attack enzymes in the body that produces glycogen; a hormone that regulates the metabolism of blood sugar. This can lead to liver failure or even death in some cases.
