Milk—Diabetes

Milk intake and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and prostate cancer. Martini LA, Wood RJ. Arq Bras Endocrinol Metabol. 2009 Jul;53(5):688-94. Key Finding: “Based on the current evidence, it is possible that milk/dairy products, when consumed in adequate amounts and mainly with reduced fat content, has a beneficial effect on the prevention of hypertension and diabetes. Its potential role in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer is not well supported.”

Dietary patterns and 15-y risks of major coronary events, diabetes, and mortality. Brunner EJ, et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 2008 May;87(5):1414-21. Key Finding: “We analyzed the prospective relation of dietary patterns with incident chronic disease and mortality during 15 y of follow-up of 106,633 person-years at risk among men and women with a mean age of 50 y at the time of dietary assessment. The unhealthy dietary pattern of white bread, processed meat, fries and full-cream milk, compared to the healthy pattern of fruit vegetables, whole-meal bread, low-fat dairy and little alcohol, was associated with increased risk for coronary death or nonfatal myocardial infarction and diabetes.”

Milk and dairy consumption, diabetes and the metabolic syndrome: the Caerphilly prospective study. Elwood PC, et al. J Epidemiol Community Health. 2007 Aug;61(8):695-8. Key Finding: “Data was collected on a representative sample of men aged 45-59 years in Caerphilly, UK. Milk intake showed no significant trend with incident diabetes. However, the consumption of milk and dairy products is associated with a markedly reduced prevalence of the metabolic syndrome.”

Lower consumption of cow milk protein A1 beta-casein at 2 years of age, rather than consumption among 11- to 14-year-old adolescents, may explain the lower incidence of type 1 diabetes in Iceland than in Scandinavia. Birgisdottir BE, et al. Ann Nutr Metab. 2006;50(3):177-83. Key Finding: “To compare the consumption of the cow milk proteins A1 and B beta-casein among children and adolescents in Iceland and Scandinavia (Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland) as this might explain the lower incidence of type 1 diabetes in Iceland. There was a significant difference between the consumption of A1 as well as the sum of A1 and B beta-casein in Iceland and Scandinavia for 2-year-old children. In the same age group, consumption of A1 beta-casein correlated with the incidence of type 1 diabetes in the countries. This study supports that lower consumption of A1 beta-casein might be related to the lower incidence of type 1 diabetes in Iceland than in Scandinavia.”

Epidemiological association between some dietary habits and the increasing incidence of type 1 diabetes worldwide. Muntoni S. Ann Nutr Metab. 2006;50(1):11-9. Key Finding: “We did an ecological study in the 37 world areas where a 3% yearly increase in type 1 diabetes incidence had been reported, and we calculated through the FAQs Food Balance Sheets the per capita daily supply of milk, meat and cereals from 1961 to 2000. A significant positive correlation with supply of milk was present from 1961 to 2000, while that with meat and cereals became significant in 1983 and 2000.”
