There is no documented link between low carbohydrate diets and liver problems.

Eating a diet that's high in sugars and refined carbs will cause surges in the levels of insulin in the blood. Insulin stimulates the liver to produce cholesterol, in particular LDL. While this function is not harmful in any way to the liver, after all, that's what it's designed to do, we all know the serious health consequences of elevated LDL, the so-called "bad" cholesterol.

Are you perhaps worried that ketosis might be harmful to the liver?? First, ketones are normal by-products of fat metabolism used for fuel by muscles and tissues in the body. They are removed from the system via the kidneys in the urine, and a small amount is lost via the lungs in our breath. Ketones are not in any way harmful to the liver or kidneys. Second, not all low carbohydrate programs are ketogenic.

Hope this has been helpful,
