I know that Dave. Just joking, and in complete agreement with the sentiment. If a disorder has a genetic component, it doesn't invalidate your thoughts in the least. The question regarding frequency of diagnosis stands, as do concerns about behavioral and environmental influences.

In case you didn't catch this one.

Avandia, a diabetes drug (SKB) hard on the liver of two patients.

Robert Diamond of the U. of Penn said in the annals of Internal Medicine that both patients showed signs of liver poisoning , and recovered after they stopped taking the drug.

It is related to Rezulin another diabetes drug that has been restricted after it was shown to cause liver damage in some patients.
