A1 vs A2 Cows Milk: What’s the Difference, Benefits, & Nutrition
A1 and A2 are two types of proteins present in the milk. A1 milk is present in foreign cow breeds such as Holstein, Jersey. A2 milk protein is present in our Indian Desi cows.
A1 and A2 proteins affect the body differently.
When A1 protein is digested in the small intestine, it produces a peptide called beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7). The intestines absorb BCM-7, and it then passes into the blood. Doctors have linked BCM-7 to stomach discomfort and symptoms similar to those experienced by people with lactose intolerance. Research shows regular consumption of A1 milk increases the risk of five major diseases:
- Type-I Diabetes
- Coronary Heart Disease
- Arteriosclerosis
- Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
- Neurological Impairment, including autistic and schizophrenic changes
