Not to add to the confusion, however what about the variable of the Gene mutation HSD17B13 that protects the liver?
Regeneron has the study.

Did I hear that correctly? You produce less CO2 if you eat low Carb diet? What does this mean for Save the Planet plant based no Animal Products Vegan Diets?

A little disappointing that only about 4 people in the audience chuckled at the "Of Mice and Men" reference. Nobody reads fine literature anymore I guess.

Netto: Stop spamming. Mycotoxins are bad, but there other plenty of other toxins--like fructose--that are also of concern. How much of an expert can you be if you can't even spell mycotoxin?!

"Why is this confusing?" (De novo lipogenisis) Because people are, clearly, experiencing cognitive dissonance since they've been told and have always believed ( or wanted to believe) fat made you fat.

Yet, as a skinny person, I remember being told by a heavy person I needed to get a sugar solution I.V. to become less skinny. This, in 1983. I think we've always intuitively known sugar was the problem (the major fattening agent). It seems to be part of the perverse, contrary, human condition to resist the obvious and search for the unlikely, one in a million, pot of gold, unicorn, or alien in the cloud of fairy dust.
Schwartz's vague and rambling apparent skepticism lacks credibility or sincerity in my view. Pretending to have scientific integrity just doesn't cut it when the evidence has been crystal clear for decades. We just all chose to ignore it, evidently.

The cause of fat liver disease is most the frutose, DR LUSTIG and group need consider this
