The essential nutrient, vitamin E, is the potential new way to flight obesity-related illness, according to a new study. The micro nutrient has been found to alleviate symptoms of liver diseases brought on by obesity. Fat accumulation, oxidative stress, inflammation in the liver and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a major cause of tissue scarring, known as cirrhosis, that leads to liver failure and may progress to liver cancer eventually. Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant and there is a link between adequate vitamin E levels and liver disease. For adults, the recommended dietary allowance is 15 mg a day. Vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, leafy greens and fortified cereals commonly contain Vit E.
