The following is an excerpt fromDevil in the Milk River : Illness , Health , and the Politics of A1 and A2 MilkbyKeith Woodford . It has been adapt for the web .
What North Americans should be bear on about is that North American Milk River is very high in A1 beta - casein paint , and no one is doing anything about it.—Keith Woodford
My career as a physician , which now spans over 25 years , has been closely linked to Milk River and other dairy farm product . That connection is thanks in part to a book I add up across early on in my medical training — The Milk of Human Kindness Is not pasteurised , by William Campbell Douglass , MD , a true medical rebel . It turned out to be one of the most important books on medicine that I have ever scan , and it help form my view on medication . ( The book has since been republished asThe Milk Book . )
Fueled by Dr. Douglass ’s insights , I chop-chop became an proponent for unsanded milk and see a lot of incontrovertible benefit from flip-flop mass from commercial-grade pasteurized milk and Milk River products to lea - fed , raw , and polite dairy . Already , I had long been an advocate for wipe out butter and other full - fatty tissue products — another stance that has been largely justify by current aesculapian inquiry as well as the calamity that is margarine . This phase was followed by my introduction toNourishing Traditionsby Sally Fallon — another passionate full - fat , natural - milk advocate — and the subsequent founding of the Weston A. Price Foundation , of which I am one of the founding board member . I then authoredThe Fourfold Path to Healing , along with Sally and Jaimen McMillan , which among other things spoke of the dangers of commercial-grade pasteurised dairy farm product and the wellness , social , and economical benefit that would get along from our nation switching to properly raised oxen supply full - fertile , tender dairy farm products .
However , all this time , I had the sense that somehow I did n’t have the full storey . In my practice , I was continually faced with patients whose aesculapian billet improved only once they had stopped cow ’s milk entirely . Butter and ghee did n’t seem to cause problems , but I still consider patients whose immune systems did n’t heal or who had surplus congestion and its attendant problems as long as they consumed any sort of cow ’s milk . Something was still up .
InDevil in the Milk , Farm Management and Agribusiness Professor Keith Woodford give up what seems to be a key to answering why problems persist when some patients have milk . As the author explain , there is a protein call genus Beta - casein in the milk - solid part of cow ’s Milk River — but not in the fat ( butter ) and not in the milk whey . The eccentric of beta - casein paint varies in oxen according to their genetical make-up , but the most common types are known as A1 genus Beta - casein paint and A2 beta - casein . A1Beta - casein , uncouth in American and European kine , releases an opiate - like chemical upon digestion called BCM-7 , which is the accurate culprit in the myriad of symptoms I have seen all these years . These symptoms include joint and muscle pains , tiredness , digestive disturbances , and cephalalgia . A1 beta - casein denote to the type of genus Beta - casein paint that has histidine instead of proline at place 67 of the protein chain . As a event of this mutation from proline to histidine , the peptide that emerges from this amino is able-bodied to be set free in the digestive tract of the animal or person consuming the milk . To simplify this , the oxen themselves are either hollo A1 or A2 cows , depend on which genus Beta - casein paint variate they have .
Devil in the Milkis a monumental study , convincingly put down out , and one that demands our immediate attention . If Woodford is correct , which I have no doubt he is , the effects of drinking milk from A1 cows is a piece of the puzzle that needs to be address . dairy farm product , when properly grow and treated , have nourished generation of the healthiest homo who ever lived . If we can use this book to convert our kine to A2 cow , then use the principles of properly fed , decent prepared dairy farm , we will do much to reduce the disease burden in our state and incur our room to the robust health that is our birthright . I advance everyone to read this leger and see for themselves .
