Unfortunately, due to my compromised liver, I am not able to digest all the fat. I got drug-induced hepatitis more than 20 years ago (medical malpractice/incompetence, but that's for another day) and since then, my blood tests show elevated liver enzymes, verging on "fatty liver" which is the last step before cirrhosis. (the inability to digest all the fat means it goes right through; I'll spare the details on that too :) ). I'm going to try to limit carbs, totally cut the processed/junk food, and virtually cut out desserts (except on special occasions, like my son's wedding coming up :) ). I have almost stopped drinking beer (carbs and alcohol make for bad friends when trying to cut carbs and protect your liver :) ), but a good craft beer is just too good to totally cut out :) I started home brewing a few years ago, and am now probably going to sell the whole set-up. It would be too tempting to make a couple dozen bottles and not be able to drink it :) Thanks for your input! We have a great group of people on this site!
