Researchers from India have found that eating oats (Avena sativa) can help prevent alcohol-induced liver damage. In their study, which was published in the journal Nutrition Research, the research team looked at the protective effect of oat extract against alcohol-induced acute liver injury in a mouse model.
From these findings, the research team concludes that oats can be used as a dietary intervention to protect against alcohol-induced liver damage.
