 MilkSucks.com: Make your baby happy - BREAST FEED! :: Cow's milk is linked to diabetes
A study of children in 40 countries found that the incidence of juvenile diabetes was directly related to diet: The higher the consumption of cow’s milk and other animal products, the greater the chance of developing diabetes.
In another study of 800 children, researchers found that the "introduction to cow’s milk products before age 8 is a risk factor" for juvenile diabetes and that breast-feeding babies for more than the first week after birth protected infants from developing diabetes.
In 1994, the American Academy of Pediatrics convened a panel to examine the issue, concluding that exposure to cow’s milk protein may indeed be an important factor in the development of diabetes.
