The news release for study on Type 1 Diabetes and cow's milk formula as
announced by Health Canada earlier this week is a bit hard to find - it's on
the Canadian Institute for Health Research web site:

http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/news/press_releases/2002/pr-0218_e.shtml

Here is how the release describes the project:

> When babies are weaned from breastfeeding, they will receive infant formulas
> that contain no, or a reduced amount of, intact foreign food proteins
> typically found in baby formulas.

This CBC news article reports one of the principal investigators says all of
the mothers in the study will be encouraged to breastfeed for as long as
possible and will receive cow's milk formula when weaned:

There is a web site for the study:  http://www.trigr.org/

The web site says the 6,000 participants will be recruited from 40
participating centres in Canada, the USA, Estonia, Finland, Germany,
Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Australia,
with the European and Australian coordination done out of Finland.
