Milk And Insulin Resistance. Examined the relationship between milk consumption and insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome in 4024 British women. She explains that 23 of reproductive-aged women in the USA are pre-diabetic so this is a very relevant issue in the field of lactation. Lactose gives milk its sweet taste and contributes approximately 40 of whole cows milk. Plasma insulin was 9 lower in the high dairy group and insulin resistance was reduced by 11.
The great thing about dairy foods is that they contain both. Milk sugars Milk sugar is called lactose. However the disposition index was higher in the dairy group than in the sugar-sweetened product group after 6 wk. Milk is an insulinogenic meaning that milk promotes the release of insulin. In the milk-group fasting s-insulin concentrations doubled which caused the insulin resistance to increase similarly. However whey protein can also play a role by releasing insulin but to a lesser extent.
Laurie Nommsen-Rivers explains the current evidence for the link between insulin resistance and low milk supply.
The Bod Pod was used to measure body fat percentage and. In addition Lawlor et al. In fact in this study there was a 60 percent increase in insulin resistance in the study participants which could definitely play a role in the aggravating PCOS or increasing the risk for development of diabetes. However clinical research has not. No change was observed in glycemic parameters or insulin resistance after 6 wk of dairy intake in comparison with baseline values. Insulin resistance was assessed using the homeostatic model assessment HOMA.
