What separates the two tiers comes down to saturated fat, added sugars and the degree of processing — the three criteria the engine uses for every food among the foods we cover. Cake, Fruitcake trips at least one of them; the alternatives don't.
The swap doesn't need to be dramatic. Start with one meal a week, then build from there. The AASLD emphasizes the broader eating pattern over individual days, and small consistent changes are what move the liver-health numbers over time.
Track it loosely for two weeks — just note how many times it was swapped for a recommended alternative or another recommended option. The goal is not perfection; it is tilting the majority of occasions toward the recommended tier, which is what the evidence actually rewards.
