Canada is participating in a huge study where 6000 babies of diabetics (and also apparently high risk to develop Type 1 diabetes) will be studied. They will be supplied with a powdered formula and fed that for their first year. They must not be given milk. Some of them will receive a milk formula and others will get a non-dairy formula. It is hoped that the findings will help clarify whether or not exposure to cow milk protein makes children more likely to develop the problem.

At least they are looking into it.
