A UC Irvine study highlights five vegetables—onions, garlic, artichokes, dandelion roots, and asparagus—that are rich in inulin fiber, which protects the body from sugar damage by promoting beneficial gut bacteria that metabolize fructose early, potentially reversing fatty liver and improving metabolic health.
A study shows that increasing dietary fiber, especially inulin-rich vegetables like garlic and onions, can prevent or reverse fatty liver disease caused by high fructose intake by altering gut bacteria, particularly Bacteroides acidifaciens, which helps break down fructose and protect the liver.
UC Irvine researchers found that consuming inulin, a vegetable-derived fiber, can reprogram gut bacteria to reduce fructose's harmful effects on the liver, potentially reversing fatty liver disease and insulin resistance, offering new avenues for nutrition-based disease prevention.
