Scientists have identified for the first time a tiny liver protein that when disrupted can lead to cardiovascular disease as well as fatty liver disease -- a precursor to cancer. Here are 5 natural ways to keep fatty liver disease at bay. Lipoproteins (VLDL) are crucial for healthy liver function. Normal VLDL secretion must be kept in a delicate balance as too little VLDL secretion causes fatty liver and potentially liver cancer. Lipoproteins are also known to increase cholesterol levels a risk factor for plaque buildup in the arteries. In a study published recently in the Journal of Biological Chemistry
