A2 Milk

[Dachsie]

stumbled across this recent yt video today and thought it was very interesting.

Seems to answer a lot of questions I have about my health problems. Of course, M.D.s mostly don't have a clue about it.

There is a BRAND also called A2 and it is A2 milk but there are some dairy farmers who have only A2 cows and may sell milk to you locally.

I am looking for it in my area but three major health food stores here do not carry any brand of a2 milk.

Goat and Sheep milk is all a2 milk.

My son in law sells A2 raw milk in Colorado. Some Jersey cows have A2 milk. He says about 40% of the Jerseys will have A2. He also told me Guernsey cows are about 95% A2.

From that video I posted, selling A2 milk is a huge important business opportunity and even Wisconsin is rapidly developing all A2 herds and selling the milk in supermarkets.

Whole Foods does not sell it here and Trader Joes did not even know what it is and Wheatsville Coop stopped selling it.

I always drank a lot of milk in my life and I always thought it helped acid reflux and leaky gut issues but amazingly it makes it all worse and causes inflammation uptick and aggravates auto immune conditions.

I wish I could invest in an A2 dairy business in my area.

I am going to stop drinking milk for now and that will be difficult for me as it is almost a medicine to me and I guess I am sort of addicted to it.

Never heard of the stuff. Magic cows? Are aliens only targeting A2 bovines?

I think i tasted it before, does it taste like powdered milk?

I wish it was available as powdered milk so I could order it in the mail. I do not care much what it taste like. If I do not eat a lot of kale and spinach and dark green leafy veggies and I don't, it is almost impossible to get calcium and bone density and strength depends on absorbing calcium. Have started taking k2 supplement and now just need to find a way to see about getting calcium. Can do high fat yogurt and it is low in bad BCM 7.

I don't have enough patience to suffer through videos. Can you tell me what a2 milk is and what is wrong with drinking non a2 milk?

I would suggest catching the last half of the video or catching a shorter video on the subject on YouTube. I like to provide some commentary with videos I post rather than just shooting links with no commentary but that could get to be taking advantage of those who are trying to get helpful commentary and discussion. You have to do your part in becoming informed on topics you are interested in. Then come here to participate and contribute to discussion and you will be rewarded with good information.

A2 not a clue, tho I have never asked.. Have sum friends (sorta) that do have milk cows, low or no cost to me per gallon. seeing each is good for near 5 gal per day, but they need to be kept bred so = more cows...Bulls are turned into steers and beef, moma in time will also be turned into beef, its all good , unless the dam cows are turned into pets, by the kids.

Been a few years since I have bought store bought processed milk. I want butter or so, tad of work on my side I have butter.

Eat your hearts out punks, tho tumbleweed should understand.

I located A2 Brand of A2 milk at Sprouts super market right down the street.

I am going to buy several half gallon cartons and but some in the freezer.

I think there are sprouts markets in Dallas too and don't know where else.

I will keep tabs on if there are improvements in my inflammation / auto-immune issues.

Several people who have switched to A2 says it has totally changed their lives for the better.

All the supplements I have tried to help me with inflammation issues have not worked so far so hope this helps.

All I know is that it cannot add harm and the A1 is adding harm as more and more studies are showing.

I think all children should immediately taken off of A1 milk.

I think the important distinction is whether the milk is raw or cooked. Cooked milk has very little nutritional value. Our rulers have outlawed raw milk, didn't they?, so unless you or a friend has a milk cow, you might as well forget drinking milk. I gave it up long ago.

A2 milk is cow's milk (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk#Food_product_for_humans) that mostly lacks a form of β-casein proteins called A1 and instead has mostly the A2 form.[1] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-NZreg-1) Milk like this was brought to market by The a2 Milk Company (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_a2_Milk_Company)and is sold mostly in Australia, New Zealand, China, United States and the United Kingdom.[2] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-EFSA-2)
The a2 Milk Company (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_a2_Milk_Company) claims that milk containing A1 proteins is harmful, but a 2009 European Food Safety Authority (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Food_Safety_Authority) (EFSA) review found that there was insufficient evidence to prove that bioactive peptides in A1 milk have a negative effect on health.[2] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-EFSA-2)
A1 and A2 beta-casein (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casein) are genetic variants (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-nucleotide_polymorphism) of the beta-casein milk protein that differ by one amino acid (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid). The A1 beta-casein type is the most common type found in cow's milk in Europe (excluding France), the USA, Australia and New Zealand. A genetic test, developed by the a2 Milk Company, determines whether a cow produces A2 or A1 type protein in its milk. The test allows the company to certify milk producers as producing milk that does not metabolise to β-casomorphin 7.[3] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-3)

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) reviewed the scientific literature and published their results in 2009. As part of their evaluation, the EFSA looked at the laboratory studies that had been done on BCM-7 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCM-7) where they had found that BCM-7 can act as a weak opioid receptor agonist (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_receptor_agonist).[2] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-EFSA-2) The EFSA found no relationship between chronic diseases and drinking milk with the A1 protein.[2] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-EFSA-2) In most of the animal studies, BCM-7 was not administered orally, as humans would be exposed to it, but rather was given to animals by injection into the peritoneal cavity (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraperitoneal_injection) or even directly into the spinal cord or brain (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrathecal), which makes these studies not useful for understanding how BCM-7 might affect humans.[2] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-EFSA-2) The EFSA found no relationship between chronic diseases and drinking milk with the A1 protein.[2] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-EFSA-2) The EFSA study emphasized the dangers of drawing conclusions from correlations (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation) identified in epidemiological studies and the dangers of not reviewing all the evidence at hand (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_picking_(fallacy)).[2] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-EFSA-2) Another 2009 review found no demonstration that consuming milk with A1 casein causes diabetes.[4] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-Clemens-4) A 2014 review of research into the relationship between consumption of dairy products (including A1 and A2 proteins) and the incidence of diabetes found that while there appears to be a positive correlation between consumption of dairy products by babies and the incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D), and an inverse relationship between the consumption of dairy products and the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D), these correlations are tentative; it is impossible to determine what component or components of milk might be responsible for these effects, and it is unlikely that the expensive and complex research to determine the answers to these questions will ever be conducted.[5] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-Lacroix-5)
Milk with predominantly A2 protein is not a milk substitute for infants with cow milk protein allergies.[6] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-Kemp_2008-6)
The a2 Milk Company claims that people who experience discomfort drinking ordinary cows' milk may experience relief when they switch to milk with predominantly A2 protein.[7] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-7)[8] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-8)[9] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2_milk#cite_note-9)

I gave up cows milk some time ago and switched to almond milk. I found almond milk has many of the characteristics of cows milk that I enjoy* but without all the fat. It serves its purpose for me anyway. Your mileage may vary!

*It's white, it's cold and it mimics cow's milk quite well with shredded wheat and chocolate cake
