People with a common, obesity-related liver disease that has no known treatment got a surprising benefit from vitamin E pills, researchers reported Wednesday.

Hmmm.... that's odd.... Since I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes my doctor has been keeping a very close eye on my vitamin e because he said it can cause a potasium build up that will destroy my liver...

Diabetes causes your body to metabolize things differently ( even from people who have liver diseases). I think it just really throws your system out of wack, when your body is in a position where it might have to dump sugar out thru your urinery tract.

Yeah... I knew that hehe for some reason my full post didn't get posted LOL.... I might have cut part of it by mistake before I hit the post button... The rest of my post was this:

I read this part of the article:

"The vitamin and drug were tested because earlier research suggested liver cell deterioration and insulin resistance might be involved in the development of the disease."

And wonder if they've even thought to look at whether diabetes might be a factor in this disease. They mention insulin resistance but not diabetes specifically....
