Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become a leading cause of liver-related morbidity worldwide. Despite broad consensus on the importance of diet in managing the disease, numerous myths and misconceptions persist among patients, healthcare professionals, and the general public. This article aims to critically review the main myths and facts surrounding the role of diet in MASLD, in light of the most current scientific evidence.
