   welp, doc says I have Fatty Liver Disease. Which, is not surprising in the least.

   Guess it's time to start seriously looking at better diets[1], and how to have generally more healthy lifestyle.

   [1] I do not mean "fad diets", i mean "food choices, as recommended by actual medical doctors and nutritionists, instead of celebs and chiropractors."

     @phessler I will recommend staying away from anything recommended by a "nutritionist" as the word is both unregulated and meaningless, at least in North America. Here, the trained professionals are called "dieticians" or "dietitians" -- it can be spelled either way. Your physician may have one on staff, or can make a consulting recommendation.

     @phessler I used to have FLD. :)

     There's a good 2 paragraph discussion under 'Regulation of the title "nutritionist" in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritionist

     @jggimi that reminds me of a joke:

     Q: what do you call 'alternative medicine' that works?

     A: medicine.

     @phessler see his "Storm" -- one of his best pieces ever performed. There's even an animated version which is terrific!

     @phessler Tim Minchin. :)

     To be fair, there are various certifications for nutritionists in many countries, including the US, but these are usually on top of other professional certifications and/or have specific certification naming conventions.

     @jggimi oh, I didn't realize someone else came up with that joke as well.
