"There has been an increased use of growth hormones in dairy cows, he
says,
which may have had an impact on this." --from the website...

this seems like an obvious answer to the research issue, and kinda' scares
me how little these researchers know about history.... I would argue that
humans consumed MORE milk and dairy during written history than the period
of time since 1980.

it is the hormones in the milk since 1980, and not the milk itself, yes?
gadzooks! the vegan's might have a one-up on us after all...

I thought the operative line was: 'It is premature for women to change their
diet in order to decrease their risk of having twins, Haggerty says: "There
are a number of loose ends here."'

Every conception begins as a twin, BTW, so rather than an increase in real
twins, there could just be a decrease in the number of fertilized eggs that
allow the twins to be re-absorbed.

Messy business that can't have much to do with paleo, can it?
