This is a very interesting article on autoimmune diseases (Aids, Hashimotos, MS, IBD...) (and cancer...) It got me to thinking about A2/A2 milk. He explains that opiates are potent immunosuppressive drugs. I know many of you here are not sold on the research of A1 vs A2 milk, but I do think it is worth finding out more, especially for those who do have immune and digestive issues (leaky gut, where they say the beta-casomorphin can enter your bloodstream.)
"Aside from opiate drugs like heroin and prescription painkillers, your diet can be a source of exogenous opiates. Many natural health physicians recommend removing wheat and dairy from the diet, as these foods tend to trigger complications in a large number of people.
What many don't realize is that part of the problem stems from the fact that gluteomorphins (from gluten) and caseomorphins (from casein) act as exogenous opioids." from the article: articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2016/07/03/low-dose-naltrexone-for-autoimmune-disease.aspx?utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20160703Z1&et_cid=DM110103&et_rid=1555841143
So, what does this have to do with A2/A2 milk? A2 milk does not produce the opoid peptide beta-casomorphin-7.
"A1 beta-casein is different to A2 beta-casein and other mammalian beta-caseins. A1 beta-casein has a histidine at position 67 on the 209 amino acid protein chain. Cows’ milk A2 beta-casein, human milk, goat milk, sheep milk and other species’ milk have a proline at their equivalent positions on their beta-casein protein chains, making them ‘A2 like’ (9-11). Due to this amino acid variation, A1 beta-casein releases the bioactive opioid peptide beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7) upon normal enzymatic digestion."
