[Why] The relationship between cows' milk and type 1 diabetes remains unclear, although there is some evidence that drinking milk may increase the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Should children avoid milk to prevent type 1 diabetes? The relationship between cows' milk and type 1 diabetes remains unclear, although there is some evidence that milk consumption might increase the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Worldwide, children whose dietary energy comes primarily from dairy or meat products have a significantly higher chance of developing type 1 diabetes than do children whose dietary energy comes primarily from vegetable sources.40 Countries with high milk consumption have a high risk of type 1 diabetes.41 Animal research also indicates that avoiding milk affords protection from type 1 diabetes.42 Milk contains a protein related to a protein in the pancreas, the organ that produces insulin. Some researchers believe that drinking milk may cause children who are allergic to milk to make antibodies that attack the pancreas, causing type 1 diabetes.43 , 44 Several studies have linked cows' milk consumption to the occurrence of type 1 diabetes in children.45 , 46 , 47 , 48 However, other studies have failed to find such a link.49 , 50 One study even reported a protective effect of higher intake of dairy products on diabetes risk in children.51 One reason for the conflicting results of the research may be that different genetic strains of cows' milk protein (casein) are associated with different levels of risk.52 Immune-system problems in people with type 1 diabetes have been tied to other allergies as well,53 and the importance of focusing only on the avoidance of dairy products remains unclear.54 Preliminary studies have found that early introduction of cows' milk formula feeding increases the risk of developing type 1 diabetes, although contradictory results have also been published.55 , 56 A study of Finnish children (including children with diabetes) showed that early introduction of cows' milk formula feeding (before three months of age vs. after three months of age) was associated with increased risk of type 1 diabetes.57 This research supports abstaining from dairy products in infancy and possibly in early childhood, particularly for children with a family history of type 1 diabetes. Recent research also suggests a possible link between milk consumption in infancy and an increased risk of type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes.58 [Recommendation]
