Why not to choose A1 Milk ?
- One of the major reasons behind the spark of this discussion is the presence of BCM-7 (Beta-casomorphine-7) in A1 milk which is not present in A2 milk and has been held responsible for several undesirable health consequences.
When the body tries to breakdown casein in A1 milk, a chemical component called BCM-7 is released, which is the reason for morphine-like effects on the Central Nervous system. Neuro disorders like cognitive disorders, which affect learning ability and aggravated symptoms of autism, are also caused by A1 milk, because of the presence of a morphine-like compound. - A1 milk protein has ‘Histidine’ at 67th position which is released to form Histamine (causing allergic reactions).
- A1 milk, leading to increased long-term risks of obesity and diabetes. Additionally, lactose intolerance is high with A1 milk.
Why should you choose A2 Milk ?
- Easier to digest, even for the people with milk intolerance to digest.
- No BCM-7 is released while digesting the A2 milk. Hence studies suggest, less chances of type 1 diabetes, heart disease, autism and digestie problems.
- Less chances of inflammation in the digestive system.
The difference between A1 protein and A2 protein is very small, but the tiny variance may make a big difference in the way the protein is digested
These all claims are based on the scientific studies. Please refer to the following link for the study based on this topic.

- McLachlan (2001) conducted a study on Masai (East African) and Samburu (Northern Kenyan) tribes and found that they had virtually no heart diseases despite consuming a diet rich in cattle milk. He concluded that this scenario may be probably due to the tribes dependency on zebu cattle’s milk, which is a breed that carries the A2 allele exclusively.
