This study, from Arizona State University, found that the early ingestion of cow's milk-based formula increases the risk of diabetes, despite the fact that this association is controversial.
Rats who were fed Enfamil or Nutramigen were significantly more likely to develop diabetes than those not fed any cow's milk based formula.
At 120 days, 100% of the formula-fed rats developed diabetes verses 60% in the control group, which was fed only a milk-free rat food. In addition, the average age of onset of diabetes was 4-10 days earlier in the formula fed animals.
Of course, since rats' life spans are much shorter than humans, this time frame corresponds to a much longer period in humans.

This helps to confirm the earlier studies that have been published over the last decade confirming the association between drinking milk and diabetes.
