10 Increased risk of diabetes
[4 studies described including...]
Early introduction of infant formula, solids and cow's milk are factors shown to increase the incidence of Type I diabetes later in life. Swedish (517) and Lithuanian (286) children aged 0 to 15 years who were diagnosed with Type I diabetes were compared to non-diabetic controls. The results showed that exclusive breastfeeding for five months and total breastfeeding for longer than seven or nine moths are protective against diabetes.
