Ischaemic heart disease, Type 1 diabetes, and cow milk A1 βcasein Murray Laugesen and Robert Elliott Abstract Aim To test the correlation of per capita A1 ß-casein (A1/capita) and milk protein with: 1) ischaemic heart disease (IHD) mortality; 2) Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (DM-1) incidence. Methods A1/capita was estimated as the product of per capita cow milk and cream supply and its A1 ß-casein content (A1/ ß) (calculated from herd tests and breed distribution, or from tests of commercial milk), then tested for correlation with: 1) IHD five years later in 1980, 1985, 1990 and 1995, in 20 countries which spent at least US $1000 (purchasing power parities) per capita in 1995 on healthcare; 2) DM-1 at age 0–14 years in 1990–4 (51 were surveyed by WHO DiaMond Project; 19 had A1 data). For comparison, we also correlated 77 food, and 110 nutritive supply FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization)-based measures, against IHD and DM-1. Results For IHD, cow milk proteins (A1/capita, r = 0.76 , p
