Description

This groundbreaking work is the first across the world published book to examine the link between a protein in the milk we drink and a range of serious illnesses, including heart disease, Type 1 diabetes, autism, and schizophrenia.

These health problems are linked to a tiny protein fragment that may be formed when we digest A1 beta-casein, a milk protein produced by many cows in the USA and northern European countries. Milk that contains A1 beta-casein is commonly referred to as A1 milk; milk that doesn’t is known as A2. All milk used to be 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 USA, New Zealand, Australia, and Europe.

In Devil in the Milk, Keith Woodford brings together the evidence published in more than 100 scientific papers. He examines the population studies that look at the link between consumption of A1 milk and the incidence of heart disease and Type 1 diabetes; he explains the science that underpins the A1/A2 hypothesis; and he examines the research undertaken with animals and humans. The evidence is compelling: We must be switching to A2 milk.

A2 milk from selected cows is now marketed in parts of the U.S., and it is imaginable to convert a herd of cows producing A1 milk to cows producing A2 milk.

This is an amazing story, one that may be not just about the health issues surrounding A1 milk, but also about how scientific evidence can also be molded and withheld by vested interests, and how consumer choices are influenced by the interests of corporate business.
