Sugar-Free diet may shield hispanic kids from fatty liver
NCT ID NCT05292352
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a low-sugar diet could prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Hispanic children ages 6 to 9 who were at higher risk. Over two years, researchers compared kids who followed the diet with those who ate normally. The goal was to see if cutting sugar could stop fat from building up in the liver. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
