Actually there is a study done by Dr Hans K. Akerblom of the University of Helsinki that suggests that cows milk may cause Type 1 diabetes in children. The study has appeared in peer-reviewed publications, which suggests more than anything else that the study does have scientific merit.
There are also several other studies that have been completed that show there are no problems in feeding a baby or child a balanced vegetarian or even vegan diet. The key, as with all diets is ensuring that it is balanced.
As for vegan pets, there are some compelling arguments for vegan pets when consideration of their nutritional needs is taken into account.
