Recently, on plenty of news and healthcare websites in Taiwan, you can see an article about: “drinking more milk would increase the chance to get Type I #diabetes for kids.”* Also it declared this statement was from a professional #metabolism doctor in Taiwan. What a shocking finding! However, there are many details we need to discuss, so let’s begin.
At the beginning, this article was written about this professional doctor heard milk is bad for people from an international conference about a decade ago. The reason is milk has been manipulated by human. The most crucial manipulated protein is ß-casomorphin-7 (abbreviated as #BCM7). This protein could influence brain like “opium.” Allegedly, there were more Type I diabetes patients in those countries which consumed more milk because of BCM7. This article also mentioned about《Devil in the Milk》*2, this book indicated A2 milk was way better than A1 milk because of BCM7 in A1 milk. Therefore, this professional doctor would replace milk by #soymilk while A2 milk is rare in Taiwan.
When the public read this article, they might have some key points: milk causes Type I diabetes, opium in milk makes people addicted, A2>A1 and soy milk is better than milk. True or false? Let’s find out.
First of all, is there any relation between milk, BCM7 and Type I diabetes? Some reports even indicated that A1 milk might be linked to type 1 diabetes, heart disease, infant death (yes, milk might kill babies), autism, and digestive problems. *3 However, if we read these research reports closely, those reports just said “might,” “maybe” or “probably” have some sort of unknown link, so they assumed these possibilities. Additionally, there is no significant difference in their data.
During our research, on the contrary, some reports by animal experience elaborated BMC7 could protect mice from hyperglycemia, oxidized stress and gastrointestinal issues.*5 In our personal opinion, all of these reports, no matter milk is bad or good, are just hypothesis, so it still needs more evidence to disclose the truth behind milk.
Secondary, is milk addicting? Long story short, similar compound might trigger totally different reaction. But if we must say something addicting in milk, the only thing might make you addicted is lactose. Yes, sweet could be addicting. At least it works for me.
About A2>A1 and soy milk, it just depends on which you like.
Actually, The European Food Safety Authority (#EFSA) had already responded this case in 2009.*6 EFSA officially indicated the evidence linked between A1 milk and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (abbreviated as #IDDM, a.k.a. Type I diabetes) was very weak. Moreover, the data and statistics were flaw, and those reports could not explain the consequence and the reason behind this topic. Therefore, EFSA DO NOT agree milk could induce IDCC or any other related illnesses.
In conclusion, there is no evidence that milk could make children getting Type I diabetes. However, too much sugar, included lactose, might induce some other health issues, like Type II diabetes, among children and adult. “#Moderation” and “#adequate” is the best way to consume lovely milk. Especially, the diabetes patients should be aware more of how much lactose in every meal.
