Our earlier studies predicted four global severe seasonal sensitive comorbid lifestyle diseases (SCLDs), namely, asthma, obesity, hypertension, and fibrosis. Our studies further indicated that the SCLD category of the human population may be maladapted or unacclimatized to seasonal changes.

The rising incidence of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) parallels contemporary dietary shifts that have transformed the composition of human gut microbiota. The relationship between these phenomena remains unknown. Here, it is unveiled that a high fiber diet (HFiD) provides substantial protection against DILI, whereas a western style diet (WSD) significantly exacerbates DILI.
