First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at whether adding rice bran to nutrition education helps people with fatty liver disease. 58 overweight or obese adults with moderate fatty liver were split into two groups: one got nutrition education alone, the other got nutrition education plus rice bran. Researchers measured changes in weight, body fat, and metabolic health to see if the rice bran made a difference.
