The What and Why of A2 Milk: Digestion, Inflammation, and My Personal Experience


Listen Later

There is compelling evidence that A2 milk can make a difference for the better in people's lives. Today we'll look at what A2 milk is and why you might consider trying it in place of regular dairy milk. Heidi shares information from a Good Housekeeping article, an Ancient Nutrition article, and a Lara Briden article

Take Aways

  • A2 milk is milk that contains only the A2 beta-casein protein.
  • Most cow's milk in the United States contains both A2 and A1 beta-casein.
  •  "The difference between A1 and A2 beta-casein is a single amino acid. This small variation influences how the protein is digested." -LaGrange (in Good Housekeeping) 
  •  "Some people report that A2 milk causes less bloating, gas, or digestive discomfort than regular milk." Good Housekeeping
  • 4 benefits according to Ancient Nutrition: Easier on digestion for some people, potential cardiovascular benefits, support for gut health, and features key nutrients, like protein. 
  • Lara Briden states, "A1 beta-casein from normal cow’s dairy can be inflammatory, but only in people with the enzyme that cleaves it to the inflammatory peptide beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM7)."
  • Heidi uses A2 milk instead of normal dairy milk. 
  • She no longer needs to supplement with Lactaid for meals containing dairy.
  • Her stomach feels good after a glass of A2 milk... that wasn't a thing for her with regular milk.
