01 Feb 2018 --- The potential health benefits of dietary fat sources such as olive and fish oil have attracted a lot of scientific and consumer interest over the past years. A study led by the University of Granada (UGR), however, has now indicated that the long-term intake of sunflower or fish oils may damage the liver, giving rise to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Three dietary fats (virgin olive oil, sunflower oil and fish oils) were studied, and virgin olive oil was found to be best of the three for preserving the liver throughout life, the researchers say.
