When you do a study, you get a large group and then you can see if people/children in that have more chance of developing diabetes depending on what it is you are studying. You might look at milk consumption, or viruses. I am not saying if I drink milk I will get type 1 diabetes, but that the evidence is that milk is a big trigger in producing it, as a % of large groups. It also seem that there are 2 sorts of casein from 2 sorts of cow, one inducing autoimmune disease and one not. Who knows, but if I had a small child and it was in my family I would want to know the risk. In fact milk is so bad for you I do not go any where near it. It is implicated in assorts of disease. One person does not make a survey. I am 1 of 7 children and none of us has diabetes and we all had milk at school to. Others were not so lucky, so spread the word. Remember it seems to be a combination of genes, viruses and dairy or other factors, but the evidence is strong against milk.
If got no idea about the second one either... Just suggesting it's more a dodgy "hand of cards" more than just "one thing"..?
And these types of studies will always be floored when you ignore any other factors apart from the one you are studying. You can't study in isolation, hence when they temper their conclusions with caveats and have to argue their rationale. I mean it's difficult to argue the case for a correlation between diabetes and cows milk when even the author's question their own conclusionsWhen you do a study, you get a large group and then you can see if people/children in that have more chance of developing diabetes depending on what it is you are studying.

@AngelaLynch Believe me, people with Type 1 do think about the causes - a lot!
Definitely agree with the above.
Milk is one possible trigger, but other possible causes are wheat/gluten/gliadin, viruses, etc.
I believe the cause of Type 1 is a cascade of events and not one simple cause.
This thread has made me a bit angry, to be honest. I blame myself enough as it is for my daughter having diabetes without someone spouting that it's because I gave her a drink of something that we've always believed is healthy. I think I'll go to bed.

How could I be angry with you @Jaylee ? I don't even take you seriously half the time
I know I shouldn't blame myself but I do. It's hard not to.

And the saddest thing of all is, we won't get to know why. Not in this lifetime.
I seriously think that if I had known that I could possibly pass on this disease, I wouldn't have had kids. I love my girls with my whole being. They are the 2 halves of my heart beat but I often feel like I've handed my youngest a death sentence. And possibly my eldest. I didn't develop type 1 until I was 31 so there's no saying that she won't.
I think too much.
@azure, yes very rare. 5 days between us. I guess we win the prize for the unluckiest diabetic family.
My consultant was very good and mentioned it when I had my first baby. I'd asked her what I could do to reduce the chances of a child of mine getting Type 1 and she said "Breastfeed". I'd already decided to breastfeed anyway as formula was never an option, but I was impressed that she said that.
