Yes, theJAMA did have an article questioning the suggested relationship between early exposure to cow milk and development of childhood onset diabetes. This was mentioned on NPR (or at least the local station of same that I listen to). However, the author of the original study linking the two said he disputes the most recent study and claims that the relationship was "as strong as that linking cigarette smoking to lung cancer!" Wow! I am now going to REALLY carefully read the debunking article. Def. of LC service: "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations."
