“The BCM7 that is released from A1 beta-casein has been implicated in many illnesses, including heart disease, Type 1 diabetes, and autism. This milk protein is called A1 beta-casein.
It is formed by digestion of a particular type of milk protein produced by some cows. “BCM7 is unquestionably a powerful opioid and hence a narcotic. To begin with, you need to know about a tiny protein fragment called beta-casomorphin-7, or BCM7. The evidence is compelling: we should be switching to A2 milk.” WHERE DOES IT START? He examines the population studies that explore the link between consuming A1 milk and the incidence of heart disease and Type 1 diabetes he explains the science that underpins the A1/A2 hypothesis, and he examines the research undertaken with animals and humans. “In Devil in the Milk, Woodford brings together the evidence published in more than 100 scientific papers. And that, warns scientist and agribusiness expert Keith Woodford, poses some serious health risks. Most cows in Asia, Africa, and parts of southern Europe produce A2 milk, but in the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and northern Europe the majority of cows produce A1 milk. All milk was once A2, until a genetic mutation affected some European cattle thousands of years ago. Milk that contains A1 beta-casein is commonly known as A1 milk, milk that does not is called A2. “These health problems are linked to a tiny protein fragment formed when we digest A1 beta-casein, a milk protein. “A best seller in New Zealand where it was first published, this groundbreaking work examines a link between a protein in the milk we drink and a range of serious illnesses, including heart disease, Type 1 diabetes, autism, and schizophrenia. Here’s a summary from the book’s back cover: But what if it isn’t? What if some danger lurks in that milk? This book answers that question. Personally I am convinced that raw milk-not pasteurized, not homogenized, but fresh from the cow-is a healthy, nutritious product. The author, Keith Woodford, is Professor of Farm Management and Agribusiness at Lincoln University in New Zealand. I read it back then and wanted to share its contents with you. This book has been sitting on my desk calling to me, nagging me, since July 2010.
Anyone can read this book and understand the issues and the science. The style is a pleasure to read, no scientific jargon, straightforward, splendid English prose. Woodford has presented a complicated subject fairly and in the clearest language. You can buy Devil in the Milk from the Acres USA bookstore.
