Hello, actual Liver Diseases Specialist here.
This viral video is top of the line misinformation and an attempt to increase the business of a jackfruit-based product manufactured and sold by the speaker.
There is absolutely ZERO evidence that substituting processed jackfruit flour in your diet helps in the treatment of fatty liver or reverses fatty liver.
All the studies cited by this person in the video are funded by his own jackfruit-based product company - it has not been validated or replicated by other independent research groups or vetted by nutritional or dietary clinical societies.
The person in this video is an IT professional and has ZERO medical knowledge about normal anatomy, physiology and functioning of the liver, let alone any liver disease.
TED has flagged this talk and has cautioned viewers to not take this as medical advice. Nonetheless, this person and his PR team has succeeded in getting this absolute garbage talk into the minds of the medically illiterate who will now queue up to buy his product. Apart from the >500K views on YouTube, this health misinformation has spread like wildfire on Whatsapp and I have been receiving multiple forwards asking me to fact check this claim. I thought it was important for me to do so.
Strangely, this was the same guy, whose same jackfruit-based product once upon a time marketed for diabetes control, which was once under the scanner for adulteration with metformin (a diabetes reducing drug). Magically, that news took a u-turn and the jackfruit product was cleared as "original" and "unadulterated" later on (it is India, let your imagination go wild as to how).
You do not need to spend any additional money buying processed and powdered jackfruit to control your non-alcohol-related fatty liver disease (called MASLD now). Check out these "Rules".
Rule 1
Control your metabolic syndrome - take medications to control diabetes, thyroid disease, high lipids, high uric acid or high blood pressure. Ifyou are diagnosed with fatty liver - screen for the reasons you have developed fatty liver. Treating the causes of fatty liver reverses disease. Repeat: it is not treatment of fatty liver, it is treatment of causes for the fatty liver that is paramount.
Rule 2
If overweight or obese, lose weight

Rule 3
Control your food portions or include standardized, safe meal replacements. But do not reduce your food quality. Check out Table III from this paper for an idea -on meal portions and quality: https://t.co/RXeRNVfuGC
Rule 4
Go on a calorie deficit diet
Here is how you can plan a meal (without paying any jackfruit agent): https://t.co/XYDeb9LrWv
Rule 5
Aerobic exercise & weight training
Here is a detailed document on exercise protocols you can use: https://t.co/kY352DJgU5 and a simple summary: https://t.co/vkQJRBSvJu
Rule 6
Drink black coffee. Even decaf is ok. 3 cups (100-120ml) daily - remember no sugar, creamer or milk. May add a bit of non-sugar zero or low-calorie sweetener if bored once in a while.
Rule 7
If you have chronic illnesses/ morbidly obese and the above standard guidance is not helping you, speak with your doctor regarding candidacy for special drug treatments (semaglutide) or surgical managements (bariatric surgery).
Rule 8
Stop 'consuming' health information from IT Professionals on YouTube and such social media.
Summary: Jackfruit does not hold any key, let alone go into any keyhole, to solving fatty liver. But it does hold the key to solving a dwindling saving account of certain grifter who sell misinformation to float their businesses propped up on flimsy, half-baked evidence masqueraded as "medical evidence."
Buyer beware.

Gue pesen ayam dada doang tapi keluar lengkap sama tahu dan usus goreng padahal gue ga pesen.. Katanya si ibu kasian gue cuma pesen ayam doang.. Tapi pas bayar full ga dikorting dasar ibu ibu monyet. Baru kali ini makan pecel ayam kena upselling,
saking bobroknya sistem di sini, orang-orang malah jadi ngira populasi lulusan sarjana di indonesia itu OVER. padahal mah emang LAPANGAN KERJANYA AJA YANG GA ADAAAAAAAAAA. 🙂
Lagi pula, MBG di negara2 yg disebut itu jg sangat berbeda dg di Indonesia. Tak ada negara lain yg menggunakan anggaran negara 7-10 persen untuk program makan siang di sekolah. Rata2 negara hanya di bawah 1 persen. Sistem MBG nya juga beda, Brazil itu desentralisasi, Jepang dikelola sekolah, AS hanya utk org tdk mampu. Hanya di Indonesia MBG yg justru menguntungkan yayasan, bukan utk anak sih...
