Question from Missoula, Montana, USA:
With all of the hype about cow’s milk being linked to Type 1 diabetes, should pregnant women be concerned about their milk intake during pregnancy? Has this been shown to put their unborn baby at higher risk for developing Type 1 diabetes?
Answer:
From: DTeam Staff
Pregnant women need to increase their calcium intake for skeletal growth of the baby. Milk is an excellent source. This should not put the baby at increased risk.
