...................The Devil in the Milk, written by Dr. Keith
Woodford, which was again an eye-opener for him.
All proteins are long chains of amino acids. Beta casein is a chain
229 amino acids in length. Cows who produce this protein in their milk
with a proline at number 67 are called A2 cows, and are the older
breeds of cows (e.g. Jerseys, Asian and African cows). But some 5,000
years ago, a mutation occurred in this proline amino acid, converting
it to histidine. Cows that have this mutated beta casein are called A1
cows, and include breeds like Holstein.
Proline has a strong bond to a small protein called BCM 7, which helps
keep it from getting into the milk, so that essentially no BCM 7 is
found in the urine, blood or GI tract of old-fashioned A2 cows. On the
other hand, histidine, the mutated protein, only weakly holds on to
BCM 7, so it is liberated in the GI tract of animals and humans who
drink A1 cow milk.
BCM 7 has been shown to cause neurological impairment in animals and
people exposed to it, especially autistic and schizophrenic changes.
BCM 7 interferes with the immune response, and injecting BCM 7 in
animal models has been shown to provoke type 1 diabetes. Dr.
Woodford’s book presents research showing a direct correlation between
a population’s exposure to A1 cow’s milk and incidence of autoimmune
disease, heart disease, type 1 diabetes, autism, and schizophrenia.
Simply switching breeds of cows could result in amazing health
benefits.
