The document discusses A2 milk and its importance in the human diet. It begins by defining A2 milk as a variety of cow's milk that lacks a form of beta-casein protein. It then compares the differences between A1 and A2 beta-casein, noting A2 milk may be easier to digest and lack compounds linked to health issues. The document outlines several potential health benefits of consuming A2 milk, such as reduced risk of heart disease, autism, diabetes and improved digestion. It also lists important nutrients found in A2 milk like calcium, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. In conclusion, the document suggests A2 milk may be a safer choice compared to A1 milk for some individuals.

3. DEFINITION OF A – 2 MILK
A2 milk is a variety of cow
milk that mostly lacks a form
of β-casein protein.
HEALTH IS WEALTH

4. INTRODUCTION
 A – 2 milk was brought to market by A – 2 MILK COMPANY and
is sold in Australia, Newzealand, China and United States.
 It was sold in UK between 2012 & 2019.
 Now cow milk including that of human, sheep, goat, donkeys,
yaks, camels and buffalos contain A – 2 beta casein and so the
term A -2 milk.
 But there has been no widely accepted scientific work
identifying a direct link between A -1 protein and adverse effect
on health.
 Risk of BCM -7 A- 1 milk was studied during 2005. (Truswell
A.S. (2005) “ The A -2 milk case a critical review, European
journal of clinical nutrition, 59 (5): 623 – 631.)

9. WHY DO WE MUST INVOLVE A-2
MILK IN DIET
 Heart Disease- Intake of A1 milk regularly can attack the heart and cause coronary
heart disease. The fact associated with the heart ailment is that by consuming A1
milk, fats get accumulated that clog and block the blood vessels, causing heart
disease.
 Autism- It is not a mental health problem. The presence of BCM 7 in A1 milk
caused a developmental disorder known as Autism in children. Symptoms like
Muted emotions, lack or loss of language, limited eye contact, lack of pointing.
Research conducted on Autism patients revealed that a substantial amount of BCM 7
is found in the urine of Autism patients.
 Sudden Infant Death Syndrome- SIDS (Expanded as Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome) is the worst nightmare for many parents. It is one of the principal causes
of death in apparently healthy babies in developed nations. Some mothers go ahead
with instant milk composition in place of breastfeeding. Excessive consumption of
A1 milk increases the level of BCM 7 in the body, and eventually, it penetrates into
the blood, leading to breathing issues. Several infants lost their lives due to this
reason.

• Digestion-related Issues- It’s a known fact that BCM 7 is an
opioid (poisonous) peptide, a small protein element that creates obstruction
on the way of smooth functioning of the digestion system. The problem of
indigestion and other health issues related to digestion, such as diarrhoea,
stomach ulcer, flatulence, etc., increases with the regular intake of A1 milk.

• Type 1 Diabetes- There are several pieces of evidence to prove that A1
cow milk triggers Type 1 Diabetes in folks with genetic risk factors. Type 1
Diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the human body fails to
produce insulin. Typically, it is diagnosed in children. PDF 2

11. HEALTH BENEFITS OF A -2 MILK
 Regular consumption of A2 milk will regulate your blood pressure level.
 It can play a vital role in strengthening your immune system amid the
COVID-19 pandemic.
 Drinking A2 milk regularly may keep your vision sharp and can maintain the
overall health of your eyes.
 Consume a glass of A2 milk daily as it ensures mental as well as physical
wellness.
 Since it comprises minerals, proteins, and natural vitamins, it optimizes bone
health and provides strength to the bone.
 If you're lactose intolerant, lactose-free milk may be a better choice for you
than A1 milk. Like "regular" milk and A2 milk, lactose-free milk has all the
nutritional benefits of "regular milk," just without the lactose.

13. IMPORTANT NUTRIENTS IN A – 2
MILK
 A2 milk is rich in protein, which is an important building block in
everything from muscle tissue to skin and blood.
 A2 milk is also a great source of:
Vitamin A ,Vitamin D ,Vitamin B12 , Calcium , Thiamin , Riboflavin,
Potassium
• It contains a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids, too. These are
polyunsaturated fats that your body needs in order to function well. The
consumption of omega-3 fatty acids has been linked to lower triglyceride
levels, reducing the risk of heart disease or stroke.
• Milk is best known for its abundance of calcium, which helps the body
grow and repair bones. It also helps prevent and treat osteoporosis, or the
weakening of bones.

14.  It could help keep your blood pressure healthy. High blood pressure is
often caused by elevated triglyceride and cholesterol levels. By consuming
more omega-3 fatty acids like the ones in A2 milk, you can potentially
lower your cholesterol levels. The potassium present in A2 milk benefits
your blood pressure, as well.
 It could help your mood. Vitamin D plays a key role in mood disorders
like seasonal affective disorder (SAD). By consuming foods rich in
vitamin D — like A2 milk— people living with SAD may see a reduction in
symptoms.
 It could strengthen your immune system. Vitamin A is important to keep
your defenses strong and it's found most frequently in animal products like
A2 milk. Consuming more vitamin A improves the response and regulation
of immune system cells.
 It could help your eyes stay healthy. Vitamin A helps maintain your
retinas and your corneas. The vitamin A in A2 milk may help keep your
eyes working well. Drinking milk regularly as part of a balanced diet may
help your body prevent cataracts and keep your vision sharp.

17. CONCLUSION
A – 2 Milk is a variety of dairy milk that may be easier
to tolerate. Studies suggest that A -1 beta casein may be
harmful and that A-2 beta casein is a safer choice. Thus,
there is some public and scientific debate over these two
types of milk.
