It seems milk is back in the firing line. It’s all about milk proteins.
There are six major protecins in milk – the prime ones of concern being beta casein A1 and A1. Depending upon the type of cow, more cows product A1 proteins and other more A2 proteins.
The A1 gene is the damaging one – leading to health concerns, in particular, diabetes, cardio-vascular disease and autism. If you have any digestive problems, you can have greater reactions to A1.
Whilst many dairy companies dispute that there is any significant difference between the two – are we going to see labels on cows now, declaring their protein preferences.
As 80% of the population are sensitive to lactose [and most don't know it], I suggest you give cows milk a pass anyway. There are many other options available:
- Soy Milk
- Rice Milk
- Goats Milk
- Sheeps Milk
All readily available from your supermarket
