Health Watch: Looking for a liver detox

If you search for a liver detox online, you'll see dozens of products offering a quick fix, whether you're worried about fatty liver disease or a night of drinking.

"The liver is a very complex organ," says Dr. Douglas Denham. "It does a lot of things. It's very involved in fat metabolism in both creating new fat and breaking down old fat kind of thing."

You want to take care of your liver, but are supplements worth it or worthless? There's no evidence to show detoxes work. Some juice cleanses can even make you sick.

A natural "detox" with antioxidants from coffee, green tea, raw garlic, and fruits and veggies can protect liver cells from damage.

Instead of a pill, get your vitamin e from almonds, sunflower seeds, and plant-based oils. But if you're really concerned, talk to your doctor.

"You are overweight, you have diabetes, you have hypertension, you have cholesterol issues," Dr. Denham said. "I think it's something to talk to them about."
