Milk Is In The News
Researchers have found that most of the cows in N. America and Europe are producing milk containing a protein that leads to health problems. Here is the description given from one book on the subject "Don't Drink A1 Milk!!" The publishers description explains:
Don’t Drink A1 Milk !! is an expose’ of the potential health hazards of drinking Type A1 cow’s milk, and the implications for the dairy industry, government, and , most importantly, the consumers. We now know that Type A1 cow’s milk genetically differs from the original A2 milk, and can generate the casomorphin peptide, BCM-7. The BCM-7 molecule can attach itself to the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, prompting an autoimmune destruction of the beta cells, leading to diabetes. It is a strong oxidant, and can oxidize LDL cholesterol, contributing to plague build-up in the arteries. It is also a powerful morphine-like opiate, and can pass through the blood-brain barrier, promoting neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and autism. The evidence is credible and compelling, and cannot be ignored.
Our dairy industry has decided not to confront the enormous implications to their status quo, and does not want you to know about this issue. Our various governments and regulatory agencies have chosen to ‘bury their heads in the sand’, claiming that the BCM-7 hypothesis is not ‘proven’ and that no risk assessment or protective action is warranted. Dairy farmers in the U.S., Canada, and Europe know little about this issue. Ironically, the dairy farmers in New Zealand, where the research originated, are quietly converting their herds to A2-only producers. Almost all of the milk produced and sold in the U.S. is Type A1 or is contaminated with A1.
The author suggests that what is at stake is more than simply a challenge to the dairy industry. Even more important is our health, and that of our children, and of generations to come. And what about the increasing millions who suffer and will suffer from diabetes, heart disease, and neurological disorders? He proposes that it may not be so much a matter of what science finally concludes … although this is extremely important … but may be more a matter of consumers knowing the truth, being protected, and having a choice. Yet there is a positive side to this new knowledge … we may suddenly have at our fingertips a key to eliminating a significant cause of chronic disease and the opportunity to uplift our human health to an even higher level. An urgent call for accountability and action is warranted. Consumers are asked to place their vote in both the political arena and the marketplace to insist on transparency, courage, and integrity on the part of the dairy industry, government, and science to correct this unacceptable dilemma.
There is also another book on the subject "Devil in the Milk: Illness, Health and the Politics of A1 and A2 Milk" for which the publishers description mentions this:
All milk was once A2, until a genetic mutation occurred some thousands of years ago in some European cattle. A2 milk remains high in herds in much of Asia, Africa, and parts of Southern Europe. A1 milk is common in the United States, New Zealand, Australia, and Europe.
It is the cows of India and S. America, and perhaps even the pacific, the "Zebu" cows that have the hump, give A2 milk.
Hmm, if I had to guess I would say that somebody learned that more milk could be gained by making this change to the cow and for that reason all producers began to switch to the more productive breed. In India I have never seen a cow with a full udder the size of what we see in American cows. The cows that I have seen in India typically give less than 4 gallons a day, while it is not uncommon that American cows give up to 100 lbs. per day or almost 12 gallons.
Both books are available from Amazon, the first one is also available for the Kindle. I'll be buying it to find out if my hunch is correct. The question is, if this change was deliberately introduced, can it be deliberately un-introduced?
