This document discusses the role of dietary fats in fatty liver disease. It presents the "two-hit" theory of fatty liver disease development and examines major factors like alcohol, sugars, and fats that can contribute to fat accumulation in the liver. While early research focused on alcoholic fatty liver, more recent studies show that diets high in polyunsaturated fats like corn oil can cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, whereas replacing them with medium-chain fats can reverse the condition. Polyunsaturated fats may increase reactive oxygen species and peroxidation in the liver, whereas saturated fats are metabolized more easily without causing oxidative damage. The role of essential fatty acids is complex, as deficiency can contribute
