"I informed you that virtually any diet-related, acquired disease
involves more than one cause. I specifically told you genes don't work
in isolation. We are talking about A causal agent for MANY diseases
though."
Good, we are at last on the same page, if not the same paragraph.
Because there are many interacting factors that do act within a genetic
predisposition to single milk out or any other food is like saying that
sunrises cause sunburns.
As shown, the fruiting parts of plants have been shown in the same role
of being among such factors as a statistical correlation.
There is not after 30 years of slicing and dicing the question of milk
or any food a concensus that it is anything but among possible factors
and not a primary causal agent.
Among those factors are processes in the gut involving autoimmune
functions. It is in that context that allergy to food is thought to
potentially if all other conditions are correct lead in time to type 1
diabetes ins some people but not others.
Everything must be in place in the right levels for food to play a role
if the genetic basis is already there.
Of course some other researchers say it is not primarly an autoimmune
disorder at all related to food as a possible contributintg agent, but
the product of a virus. They are in a minority.
So we end where we began, does milk cause diabetes?
Could be, along with other possible food agents. But in any respect
"cause" is misleading in this chicken and egg situation of multiple
interacting factors.
