In india, we had been drinking A2 Milk of desi cows for 10, 000 to 17000 years , but no milk allergies were known. After introducing A1 cows, milk allergies of have increased globally including india. These allergies are not due lactose intolerance ! Allergies and lactose intolerance have biochemical mechanism due to BCM7 (from A1 casein), which slows down Gut motility.
great way to explain this information. I could see how some may find it hard/complex, but you do a great job in laying everything out and really pointing out the key takeaways.
An interesting thought. So then wouldit follow that if we must eat food, it should come from our own species? Don't know if the presenter mentions that the A1 mutation occurs, so far as we know, only in the milk of cattle that trace back to this mutation event. The milk of sheep, goats, camels, yaks, water buffalo, reindeer, and mares are all consumed by humans as well, and have been for many thousands of years. Moose and eland are also milked. Cheese from sheep and goats milk is available in most US supermarkets. There is evidence that early humans made use of the milk in the udders of the lactating female herbivores they killed, as other predators do, though archeological evidence shows that humans typically targeted the 'fat and sassy' adult animals, while most predators target the old, the sick, or the very young animals, since there are easier to kill. (Nora Gedgaudes and otehr cources) As Dr. Micheal Eades put it, 'This was not a sustainable model of dairying.' As humans took that small step from following the herds to becoming herders, their symbiotic relationship easily extended to milking the animals. Providing protection from other predators, as the Masai do by keeping lions away from their cattle and goats, helped to provide a sustainable supply of protein and fat- the only macronutrients humans require to survive and thrive. With a reasonable diet, most animals will readily produce more milk than their own young require to survive. By harvesting some of the milk, (and in the case of the Masi, some blood- which is similar to milk, but with higher levels of iron and salt), the food supply became even more sustainable, allowing them to 'Have their animals and eat them, too.' Something that cannot be done with cake. Generally speaking, while there are zoonotic diseases that are transmissible from other animals to humans, we are most likely to contract contagious diseases from other humans. Given the poor diet, high levels of exposure to environmental toxins, and high rates of drug intake, including prescription drugs, among humans in the USA, humans in general do not seem to be a good source of milk. It should go without saying that any milk used as food should come only from healthy animals, be handled using good basic hygiene, and should come from animals not given chemicals or drugs, or fed substances which have chemical residues, with access to the outdoors, and eating a species-appropriate diet. What few people realize, is that the stuff sold in plastic jugs or plastic lined cartons in the supermarkets is highly processed. There are more than 7 significant differences between fresh, unprocessed milk and supermarket milk, aside from the A1 casein (which is diminishing, as the bulls being used to sire dairy calves are nearly all homozygous for the A2 trait). www.RealMilk.com (No affiliation) Whatever you choose to eat or drink, enjoy!
A2 milk is often available from those who produce unprocessed milk for sale. It may take a bit of searching to find in your area. The local chapter of the Weston A; Price Foundation may be able to help. Most dairy cows are bred using frozen semen from bulls which are deemed to be genetically superior for economically significant traits, from the standpoint of commercial dairy operations. Among the many traits they are tested for is the A1 or A2 casein protein. A2 A2 bulls are readily available in all the popular dairy breeds, including the Holstein. With cow turnover being rather high, especially in the increasingly huge industrial milk production operations, the milk produced by these facilities could easily be all A2 within just a few years. People should also be aware that there are a number of significant differences between the highly processed white stuff sold in plastic jugs or plastic lines containers in supermarkets, and the unprocessed version- at least 7 that I can think of off the top of my head. Many milk products have substances added, including emulsifiers which tend to cause 'leaky gut' issues. Seriously, milk and cream should just contain milk, or cream. Cheeses should contain just milk, cultures, perhaps rennet, and maybe salt; nothing else. Yogurt should contain simply milk and cultures. Pectin in yogurt may not be bad, though it does change the flavor and texture of the yogurt. If you want fruit in your yogurt, put it in yourself. Even if you are a sugar junkie and want jam in there, you will get better quality and fewer questionable ingredients if you buy the plain whole milk yogurt, then walk a few aisles over and buy a good jam or preserves, and spoon it in yourself. You will save money, too, and put fewer little plastic containers into the oceans. It is quick and easy to make yogurt at home. Starting with 100% 'grassfed' milk from a breed or species that produces rich milk will give superior results, but supermarket milk will still five you better results than many bland, flavorless commercial brands. Many producers of unprocessed milk also test their cows and offer A2 milk. A1 milk and products made from it, has been used for thousands of years by people in northern Europe without causing problems, so apparently not everyone has an issue with the A1 casein. That said, it is easy enough to find A2 milk in many States. If unprocessed milk or milk direct from the farmer is not available in your State, ask your legislators why??? www.RealMilk.com (No affiliation) Milk from other species is another option. Milk from goats and sheep have been used before cows milk, and are still widely used around the world. Those wanting fluid milk from these species - which have only A2 milk - will have to shop at a natural food store or find a farm, but cheeses from these species are available in virtually every supermarket. Reindeer, camels, yaks, water buffalo, and mares are other species that have long provided milk for human food, and are still being milked today. Eland, a large antelope, and even moose are also being milked. There seems to be a far, far stronger correlation between high intake of sugars, starches (which are just glucose sugar molecules linked together), and/or industrially produced seed oils with chronic disease than milk of any kind, but it seems fashionable at the moment to bash animal-source foods.
There is still fat in milk no matter if the cow has a hump on its back and comes from India. This fat like all fat deposits in the arteries and this hardens over time and sets you up for a heart attack. There is no protein found in animals that they did not get from plants. If you eliminate the middle man (the cow), you can be healthy apart from dairy of any kind and meats, poultry and fish. No, if the dairy industry knew about A2 and waited till so many have died of breast cancer and prostate cancer, and we are supposed to "trust" the dairy industry, are you kidding me? Plant-based milks are not causing breast and prostate cancers. My mother and sister died of breast cancer and my husband had prostate cancer. Let me tell you that what you are pushing is not worth the risk. I cured my arthritis getting off of dairy milk and I don't want it back. At this point, do I care about your studies? Half my family is dead of cancer. I do NOT believe you and will not think this is good for human consumption no matter what you say. Vegans give lectures too and they are not fat! Look at you, lady. You are not what I want to look like!
Thats because cancer runs in your family. It's genetics that play the factor. Don't blame the fat. The fat and cholesterol myth has been busted. People in crete and who live into their 80s and 90s are drinking got and sheeps milk every day
