But it is equally wrong to claim that "the actual cause is unknown." There are well known causes, such as toxicants or heavy metals leading to pancreatic and/or brain damage (see scholarly article at http://www.supplements-and-health.com/garcinia-cambogia-side-effects.html ). It's only corporate medicine who keeps claiming that we only know of risk factors" rather than a cause, or causes, of diabetes. They make the same false claim about cancer. The reason has primarily to do with how this big business cartel operates in its core: allegedly endlessly "searching for a cure" and only treating symptoms rather than causes of diseases with highly lucrative drugs and other interventions - both directives guarantee them an endless stream of massive profits (read these books: Donald Gould's "The Medical Mafia", Ghislaine Lanct?t's "The Medical Mafia", Pat Rattigan's "The Cancer Business", Marcia Angell?s ?The Truth About the Drug Companies. How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It?, Peter G?tzsche's "Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime").
