Type 1 diabetes, aka childhood diabetes, is thought to be from casein in A1 milk; where the immune system attacks the beta cells of the pancreas. Seems plausible to me; rates of dairy consumption seem to correlate with type 1. (see Finland).
They also used really unhelpful citations, like “see: Finland”.
Feel free to continue this discussion here and within nutrition enthusiast groups, but please consider the perspectives of someone who’s struggling with a fresh, serious diagnosis before telling them all the hidden secrets of raw diets. Part of getting diagnosed is, at least for me, doing a shit ton of research to know better what my body is doing to me. Part of that research is sifting through all the scams and B.S. NaturalNews[TM] crap that, relevant or not, reads just like this thread. So when people tried to respond to the news of my illness with recipes it felt really patronizing and minimized my experience for the purposes of highlighting their hobby.
Just for an outside perspective. If any of this is backed with reliable data, I’m happy to read it.
I’m not suggesting that’s what’s happening in all of these comments, but I’ve seen a lot already that absolutely is. It’s really disappointing to see, but I’ve learned HN comments are great…until the topic of discussion departs from the usual tech-specific ideas, then it’s Dunning, Kruger, et al.
