No association of either fruits or vegetables with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in middle-aged men and women.

However, some studies have speculated that fruit intake might be positively associated with NAFLD, due to its fructose content. This might cause consumers to hesitate to eat fruit. We assessed the association between fruit and vegetable consumption and NAFLD.
