This book compiles the latest research on the A1 and A2 forms of
cow milk, and attempts to show a correlation between the type of
cow milk consumption and reported incidence of certain diseases
(type 1 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, sudden infant
death syndrome and neurological disorders). Cow milk generally
contains two types of -casein, A1 or A2. The book describes the
A1/A2 hypothesis, its foundation and the genetics behind it. It
discusses the two forms of milk and why one is considered more
harmful than the other. Seeking to provide a balanced view of the
milk types, the book's initial chapters highlight the structure,
function and physiological activity of -casomorphins. Subsequent
sections describe the health concerns associated with A1 milk, and
the various case studies and research surrounding it. In turn, the
arguments against the hypothesis put forward by EFSA, American
Nutritionists and Truswell are also highlighted. The book does not
make any recommendations for dairy consumers; rather, it is a
collection of essential data both in favour and against the
hypothesis. Further mechanistic studies involving well-designed
animal and human trials at the cellular, molecular, biochemical and
immunological levels will be needed in order to draw sound
conclusions. Overall, the hypothesis is fascinating, and possibly
significant. However, verified and authenticated research with
reproducible results is needed to make final consumer
recommendations. This timely book offers a valuable resource for
researchers and students of dairy science, as well as industry
experts.
