Dark Chocolate In Large Quantities, Affect AST Level?
Question: Can eating large quantities of dark chocolate negatively affect AST levels?
Hello and thanks for the query.
As for the chocolate affecting your AST levels, the only way I could perceive that this would be the case is if your calorie intake is such that you develop a degree of obesity. Sometimes obesity can generate what we refer to as doctor recheck the liver enzymes again in 3 to 6 months to document if there is any trend there. Otherwise, I don't think any additional investigations need to be done at this time.
I thank you very much for your query. I hope my response has been both informative and reassuring. I am available for your followups.
Sincerely,
Dr. Robert.
