New evidence that A1 relative to A2 beta-casein affects digestive function

  New evidence that A1 relative to A2 beta-casein affects digestive function Posted on   March 24, 2014   by   Keith Woodford A new paper has been published in the  International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition  titled “Dietary A1 beta-casein affects gastrointestinal transit time, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 activity, and inflammatory status relative to A2 b-casein in Wistar rats” The key findings are: 1. A1 beta casein slows down transit of food through the digestive system relative to A2 beta-casein and this is an opioid effect. 2. A1 beta-casein induces a pro- inflammatory effect in the colon which is also an opioid effect. 3. A1 beta casein relative to A2 beta-casein causes up-regulation of the enzyme DPP4 in the small intestine and this is apparently a non-opioid effect. 4. In contrast to the A1 beta-casein, there is no evidence of opioid effects from the A2 beta-casein in relation to either food transit times or pro-inflammatory effects. The above mentioned differences between

A1 milk predisposes to asthma and lung inflammation

A1 milk predisposes to asthma and lung inflammation Posted on   June 3, 2020   by   Keith Woodford New findings published by Nature Research, demonstrating how A1 milk predisposes for asthma and lung inflammation, should bring the A1 milk issue back into focus for both consumers and farmers Until May 15 of this year, there had been a lack of new scientific evidence about A1 milk for almost a year. The reason it was quiet is because no-one had been funding the next studies that needed to be undertaken. However, new evidence has now come forward from India, somewhat out of left field. Prior to this, there had been multiple strands of evidence demonstrating that A1 beta-casein and hence A1 milk is pro-inflammatory and linked to auto-immune conditions. However, the new research published by Nature Research in the journal ‘Scientific Reports’ is the first to explore these pro-inflammatory and immune-related effects of A1 beta-casein in the airway and lungs. For those new to the A1 versus A2
