We have known for several years that Hepatitis C, a common cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer, also makes people three to four times more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes.This is the issue.
In studying the insulin resistance of 29 people with Hepatitis C, Australian researchers have confirmed that they have high insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes. However, almost all insulin resistance occurs in muscle, with little or none in the liver, a very surprising finding given that Hepatitis C is a liver disease...
"Contrary to all expectations, not only did we find no significant insulin resistance in the liver of the patients in the study, half of them suffered from a strain of Hepatitis C that causes about three times the normal level of fat to accumulate in the liver," said Professor Chisholm.
You do not want your researchers to be "surprised" "contrary to all expectations."
This is the research equivalent to "Whoops" in the operating room.
And suggests that they or their predecessors may have been in error.
It certainly says that we/they do not really know what is going on.
It also certainly says that the mechanisms proposed for outcomes are no more than theories/hypotheses.
It is better to rely on what is known.
We do know that fit people, as a group, tend to be "healthier."
This has proven itself to be reliable decade after decade.
Get or remain fit and leave the fantasizing to others.
This is a much better action plan.
