Summary

According to a Technion-Israel Institute of Technology study published in the November 2004 Diabetes Care, 40 percent of diabetics who have the 2-2 form of haptoglobin can reduce the risk of a heart attack by 43 percent and of dying from heart disease by 55 percent when they take 400 international units of vitamin E.

Dr. Andrew Levy and his research team previously demonstrated that diabetics had as much as a 500% increased risk of developing heart disease. A five-year study of 2,000 diabetics with haptoglobin 2-2 is now being conducted in Israel and should support this study.
