Breaking Medical News: More Evidence Links Cow's Milk to Type 1

Diabetes

 

 

 

More Evidence Links Cow's Milk to Type 1 Diabetes

 

A new study adds more evidence that cow's milk proteins trigger type

1 diabetes. Marcia Goldfarb of Anatek-EP, a protein research laboratory in

Portland, Maine, reports having found antibodies to bovine beta-lactoglobulin in

the serum of children with diabetes. Individuals without diabetes did not have

the antibody.

 

Type 1 diabetes is believed to be caused when antibodies destroy the

insulin-producing pancreatic cells. Several studies have suggested that cow's

milk proteins may trigger the production of these dangerous antibodies. Larger

studies are currently testing this theory.
