Should not rely on milk-induced diabetes

Scientific research activities are to explore the unknown. Every day a large number of medical research reports in various newspapers or radio and television stations on, give us a fresh and new health-related information. However, a considerable number of study is a preliminary test data, and its conclusions need to be further confirmed. Our application of these research data to guide their health behavior, the identification must be the ability to avoid being misled by credulity. The relationship between milk and diabetes is a very convincing example.

On the "milk-induced diabetes mellitus" study, the general was to investigate the residents of certain countries and regions of milk consumption and diabetes incidence, and then on the relationship between the two for analysis. During the 20th century, a study 80 found that residents of the Nordic countries Finland, a large quantity of milk consumption, while its relatively high incidence of diabetes, suggesting that the two phenomena may be related to the relationship between. This result caused a great sensation, not only the concern of the majority of milk consumers, and researchers to more into a similar study.

Subsequently, however, not only of the many research results have not been the same, but the opposite answer. For example, the residents of Sardinia, Italy and Finland have the same close to the high incidence of diabetes, and its total consumption of milk less than half of Finland, so it is difficult to explain the original observations of the milk and the link between diabetes mellitus. In addition, the various countries of the animal testing laboratory is also difficult to obtain consistent results, and not to repeat the test results can not be trusted.

Diabetes is a very complex etiology of the disease, in which diet, exercise, mental health, genetic and chemical poisons, such as the role of environmental factors should not be underestimated. The medical profession on the causes of diabetes has been induced by a large number of studies, some of which are risk factors has been confirmed. For example, between obesity and diabetes are closely related, is a most important risk factors. According to the report of the National Diabetes Association, light, moderate and severe obesity for the development of the risk of diabetes is a normal weight, respectively, 2 times, 5 times and 10 times. In recent years a number of large-scale studies have shown that obesity can not be maintained, is about to body mass index (BMI) below control at 25, women 77% of new cases and 64% of male new cases can be effective prevention. In addition to obesity, the lack of physical activity is another important diabetes-induced factors, persist in moderate physical activity for people of the risk of significantly reduced.

With obesity, lack of exercise and other factors identified, milk the question of whether or not induced diabetes after 10 years of research has yet to reach a consensus. These pros and cons of the information suggests that the information explosion in the modern society, the right to treat a variety of scientific information is essential. We should pay attention to those who have already been confirmed findings, and some new findings and ideas, should take a cautious attitude.
