a2 milk.... Good, bad or no effect?????

shazfun

hi,

I have a 15yr old son who was diagnosed with aspergers and sensory processing disorder 18mths ago. I have spent a lot of time researching natural support for him rather than medication.... I have heard that there is positive results for ppl who switch to a2 milk, and would be interested in trying it with our son... we did try reducing dairy products but he cannot take the consistancy of soya milk products.....

we live in NI and can'tfind the a2 milk anywhere.... even tesco.... 

Have u any advice on either the benefits of a2 milk or where it can be purchased in NI????? 

xxxxxxxx

    What's a2 milk?

    It is a genetic variant of conventional cows milk (A1 is the normal cows milk) with a different amino acid on the protein chain. I'm not sure if it is GM or natrually bred from the few cows who produce that variant.

    The companies behind it have made various claims about it being great for diabetes, autism and a bunch of other conditions but the scientific evidence has yet to confirm it.

    With the amount of misleading advertising (ie unsubstantiated claims) and manipulation of posts on discussion boards it does give the impression to be a bit of a snake oil cure.

    It may have validity if the claims can be backed up, but so far I've not seen evidence of this in any respectable scientific publication. If it is what it claims then this should be a matter of time, but it has been 18 years since the review I referred to and they have not come up with any proof yet.

    If it walks like cow, moos like a cow and poops like a cow - it is probably a cow. (ie probably quackery)
