Milk-Diabetes Connection: New Evidence

Please share the following with a friend or family
member who had been diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes.

The February issue of the American Journal of
Epidemiology (2005 Feb 1;161(3):219-27) contains
new evidence linking milk and dairy consumption
with an increased risk of being diagnosed with
Type-2 diabetes.

Researchers at the National Public Health Institute
in Helsinki, Finland studied 4,304 persons who had NOT
previously been diagnosed with diabetes during the
baseline years (1967-1972) of this 37-year study.

Nearly nine percent of the participants were subsequently
diagnosed with diabetes (383 of 4,304). The scientists
divided each of those subjects into one of two distinct
dietary pattern groups.

Group "A" was characterized by their high consumption of
fruits and vegetables. Group "B" was defined by their
enormous consumption of milk, cheese, butter, and potatoes.

The Finnish researchers concluded that those in group "A"
(fruit & veggie eaters) were associated with reduced risks
of diabetes, while the cheese and potato heads were associated
wth higher risk of diabetes.

The authors conclude:

"In light of these results, it appears conceivable that the
risk of developing type 2 diabetes can be reduced by changing
dietary patterns."

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to
think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone´s fault.
If it was Us, what did that make Me ? After all, I´m one of Us. I must be.
I´ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No-one ever thinks
of themselves as one of Them. We´re always one of Us. It´s Them that do
the bad things. <=> Terry Pratchett. Jingo.

Caution ===== followups may have been changed to relevant groups
(if there were any)
