See the technical phrasing
Dietary fiber intake exceeding 13.8 grams per day is inversely associated with the presence of hepatic steatosis in women.
When women eat more than 13.8 grams of fiber daily, gut bacteria break down the fiber into butyrate, which travels to the liver and turns off genes that make fat while turning on genes that burn fat. Butyrate also blocks inflammation in the liver by binding to special receptors, reducing fat buildup.
