The most interesting fact I saw was that folks that are over weight have been found to have fat in their liver.

This causes all kinds of health issues fatty liver is also known as NASH, which stands for Non- Alcoholic Steatorrhoeic Hepatosis or Non-Alcoholic-Fatty-Liver-Disease (NAFLD) but don't be put off by these big terms – they just mean that your liver is being invaded with fat!
Fatty liver or NASH, is very common in overweight persons, over the age of 30.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is currently the most common liver disease in the U.S.
In the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control reports that currently, approximately one half of the U.S. adult populationisoverweight (BMI>25) and one quarter of the U.S. adult population isobese (BMI>30).
That means upwards of 29 million Americans have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

It is easy to cure with weight loss aka a good diet or better yet a plant based diet (but that's another issue)
