The red meat contains a high level of saturated fat. In general, people who consume animal ;proteins are likely to have more fats in their livers than those who depend more on proteins from vegetables. Hence if you are a lover of red meat, you need to start reducing your intake as it could pose some threats to your liver

SUGAR;
