A2 Milk.

Ian Gardner said Aug 17, 2006, 1:06 AM:

 

Hey Guys!
A few years ago when I first heard about this it made a lot of sense to me and it still does. It is sold in Australia and New Zealand and up here all our milk is from a local organic dairy farm having only jersey cows. As one would expect the A2 case is taking a hammering from organizations worldwide of farmers producing only A1 milk.
I recommend to you a look at A2 Milk on the internet, with particular reference to information by the A2 Corporation [I think that is what it is called].
Ian.

Don't know, Ian… I don't think cow milk is a good food … but the claim is that the A2 is better if one is going to be drinking cow milk…

A2 Milk: Scientific Breakthrough or Scam?

or Pull the Udder OneSo, what's the bottom line? Answer: There is no bottom line - yet. As the A1/A2 debate flourishes between parties with vested interests, objectivity, as we might expect, is not prevailing. Even A2 Corporation grant recipient Prof. Julie Campbell (Director of the Centre for Research in Vascular Biology at the University of Queensland, Australia) admits it is unfortunate that commercial entities are at the forefront of the debate on such an important health issue. But since it is speculated that a large U.S. company will soon be marketing A2 milk and milk products, should American milk drinkers spend $4-$5 per gallon on a product whose disputed “proven” benefits were established only by one company, the marketer, expected to gross over 2 billion dollars this year in New Zealand and Australia alone? I think not. Is it a scam? Can't say, although it has all the earmarks - not unlike coral calcium, garlic, sea silver, Tahitian noni, etc. The best advice is to be patient, Pilgrim, we'll know soon enough.

This is a product my whole family could not live without. I didn't know whether to believe that A2 milk would make a difference in my son's behaviour or not. My partner has ADHD and some say our son shows signs of it too. But we thought we'd give it a go. Within days we were seeing results, his coughing ceased and he was calmer and more well behaved (No more tantrums and screaming and yelling at everything). We've had a week without A2 milk and tantrums and bad temperedness and screaming fits again. I will never go back to any other milk again. My family and I could not live without this wonderful product.

I totally agree with Charlie and having been using A2 milk since I discovered it. Let's all please use it to keep the best available to all.

This is the most informative information I have ever read on milk, why haven't these studies been published before? Bravo to those who care enough to enlighten us all.

Our children love A2 milk, a choice with real meaning for our family and a fascinating story. The A2 Corporation has world patents on the DNA test which determines whether a cow has the A1 or A2 gene. Cows with the A1 gene produce a protein in their milk that breaks down into an opioid, beta casomorphin 7. This is linked to type 1 diabetes, arterial damage, even autism - and many less extreme forms of dairy intolerance. A2 cows produce protein that does not break down.

A2 Corporation predict that A2 cows will increase in number as the world cottons on (an A2 cow put to an A2 bull produces an A2 calf). I believe A2 Milk will live or die on the consumer demand of informed parents, and remain a godsend for those who have discovered it.
