A2 Milk
Thousands of years ago, the ancestor of the modern
dairy cow lived mostly in the
Today, most herds in Western countries contain some
cows that produce milk with a1 beta casein, some that produce milk with A2 beta
casein and some that produce a mixture. A1 beta casein has been linked to heart
disease, diabetes type 1, autism and schizophrenia.
The A2 Corporation in
In NZ, A2 Corporation chief executive Dr Corran
McLachlan claimed that some farmers wanted to supply A2 milk but the dairy corporation
Fonterra was stopping them. An editorial in the NZ Medical Association
commented that it would be reasonably straightforward to change
A failsafe-friendly dietitian reports the use of A2
milk during an elimination diet for a boy with autistic type behaviour: `I
placed him on a milk free elimination diet, but allowed A2 milk. He consumed
several cups of this per day whilst on the diet. His behaviour, concentration
and sense of humour all improved. However, when we challenged with normal milk,
concentration etc deteriorated. So it is back to the A2 milk whilst we go
through other challenges.'
We have received many other reports of both autistic
and non-autistic children with a variety of food intolerance problems who
improve when switching to A2 milk, although one dietitian commented that
children who improve on A2 will probably be even better on soymilk or ricemilk.
However, for the many failsafe families who are not prepared to go dairy free,
it would seem that A2 milk is much better than A1 milk.
