| Place of Study: | Oxford, UK |
| Abstract: | This is a study of 1,037 children with insulin dependent diabetes under age 15 years. It was noticed that there is rapid increase in diabetic children 0-4 years (annual increase of 11%). |
| Keyword(s): | diabetes, diabetes type 1 |
| Discussion: | This is not a study belonging to the strict framework of primal health research but the results suggest that a dramatic increase of insulin dependent diabetes in very young children is caused by environmental influences during the primal period. Artificial feeding cannot explain such a dramatic increase. Further studies should look at early multiple vaccinations and pre- and perinatal factors. See entry 0114. |
