More Evidence Links Cow's Milk To Type One Diabetes

More Evidence Links Cow's Milk To Type One Diabetes

Source: Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine – 5/12/2008:

"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 of 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..."

This recent research confirms what Dr. T. Colin Campbell, PhD, had to say on this same subject in his book The China Study, on page 187:

"In the case of Type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks the pancreas cells responsible for producing insulin. This devastating, incurable disease strikes children, creating a painful and difficult experience for young families. What most people don’t know, though, is that there is strong evidence that this disease is linked to diet and, more specifically to dairy products. The ability of cow’s milk protein to initiate Type 1 diabetes is well documented."

EDITORS COMMENTS: Dr. Campbell’s book devotes 8 pages to explaining the relationship of cow’s milk to Type 1 diabetes, concluding with the following:

"Human breast milk is the perfect food for an infant, and one of the most dangerous things a mother can do is to substitute the milk of the cow for her own [breast milk]."

For more information on the dangers of cow milk being consumed by humans, whether the cow milk source is "organic" or not, or "raw" or not, may I suggest you read Health Tip #546, titled "MILK DOES A BODY ‘BAD’ (The Dangers of Cow Milk)", available on the web at:
http://www.hacres.com/publications/health_tip.asp?tipid=583&year=2008.

For an in-depth study of the relationship of all animal sourced foods to human physical problems, I strongly suggest you obtain a copy of Dr. Campbell’s book, The China Study. Thoroughly scientifically documented, this 417 page book will give you the ammunition you need to convince the biggest skeptic, or if you personally have any doubts of the relationship of animal source foods to disease, this book is a must read.
