Actually, other research found at least four distinct forms of fatty liver disease — each with different risks like liver scarring, heart problems, or kidney issues. So it's even more complex than 'just two subtypes'. https://s.fitbodyscience.com/vg6YZe

The breakdown

Fatty liver disease may have at least four types, not just two.

Other research on this topic found something different: instead of just two subtypes, there are at least four distinct forms of fatty liver disease, each with its own set of risks—like scarring, heart problems, or kidney issues. That means the post oversimplified the picture. While the idea of distinct subtypes is real, the number is bigger than two. The study wasn't linked in the post, so we're looking at related work, but it raises an important caveat.

Bottom line

So the takeaway is that fatty liver disease comes in more than just two flavors—tailored treatments might need to account for at least four, not two.
