Substance Found in Dry Cleaning Associated with Serious Liver Fibrosis Risk
Common Chemicals Linked to Liver Disease Recent research indicates that everyday chemicals found in dry cleaning, certain adhesives, spot cleaners, and stainless steel polish may be associated with liver disease. The focus is primarily on a specific chemical called tetrachlorethylene (PCE). Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California revealed […]
Common Chemical in Household Items Connected to Liver Disease and Cancer, Study Reports
Chemicals in Household Products Linked to Liver Damage A recent study from Keck Medicine at the University of Southern California reveals that chemicals commonly found in dry cleaning fluids and household items significantly increase the risk of severe liver damage. The study identifies tetrachlorethylene, or PCE, a chemical used in items like craft adhesives, stain […]
Research shows that the dry cleaning chemical PCE increases the risk of liver disease threefold.
Research Links Common Chemicals to Higher Liver Disease Risk Recent findings suggest that exposure to everyday chemicals, particularly those used in dry cleaning and certain consumer products, significantly increases the risk of serious liver diseases. Specifically, tetrachloroethylene (PCE), also found in some adhesives and stainless steel polishes, appears to be linked to a three-fold increased […]
Company seeks to eliminate the need for liver transplants while thousands wait and die.
Revolutionizing Liver Transplants For many, the wait for a liver transplant can feel interminable. Last year, over 11,000 liver transplants took place in the United States, yet countless patients still found themselves in a frustrating limbo.

Fiber-trained gut bacteria can reverse fatty liver disease, research indicates.
Study Reveals Fiber’s Role in Protecting Against Sugar Damage A study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, has shed light on how fiber might safeguard the body from sugar-related harm, ultimately starting in the gut. The focus of the study was on inulin, a natural fiber found in vegetables like onions, garlic, […]
Diet drinks associated with a greater risk of liver disease compared to regular soda, research shows
Recent research indicates that switching from regular soda to diet versions might not be as beneficial for liver health as many believed. A review of data from the UK Biobank revealed that both sugary beverages and those containing artificial sweeteners—despite being sugar-free—are linked to a greater risk of liver disease. This study was shared at […]
Experts indicate that MASH liver disease frequently remains unrecognized until significant harm occurs.
Scientists Share Liver Disease Reversal in New Trials Dr. Arun Sanyal, who heads the VCU Stravitz-Sanyal Institute for Liver Disease and Metabolic Health, recently discussed new clinical trials involving around 800 participants. In related health news, NFL Hall of Famer Dan Marino opened up about his recent diagnosis of metabolic dysfunction-related steatohepatitis, or MASH. He […]

He’s now using his experience to raise awareness for those who might face similar health challenges. Marino discovered he had metabolic dysfunction-related steatosis hepatitis, commonly referred to as fatty liver […]
Research reveals how ‘forever chemicals’ interfere with liver function
New Research on Toxic Chemicals and Liver Function A recent study has discovered that harmful “eternal chemicals” can fundamentally alter liver function in humans, leading to both fat accumulation and potential cancer-related damage. These substances, often referred to as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs), impact signaling and immune functions in liver cells but do so […]
