Speaking of googling, I’ve done a bit more reading up about A2 milk. I was trained and worked as a geneticist for some years, I have studied chemistry and nutrition, and I have no doubt that A2 milk is nothing more than a gimmick. It is just a mutant form of the A1 protein (it’s a little bit like having a bowl of fruit salad and switching places between one blueberry and one raspberry). The studies showing that A1 protein (the type without the more recent A2 mutation) were harmful were funded by the A2 companies, and involved injecting the A1 protein directly into the body, even directly into the nervous system of animals! Do that with any food and you’re likely to end up with problems. Obviously I wouldn’t recommending injecting A1 (or A2, or substance at all) into your body, but consuming it through your mouth is no different from A2.
A2 milk companies have already gone to court and plead guilty to charges of illegally presenting ‘information’. I’d be pretty wary about investing in this or any A2 milk company, and would personally consider it highly unethical.
This also may be of interest: A1 and A2 milk are both common in various breeds of cattle all over the world, and in some areas A2 just happens to be common by accident. No one noticed or cared until people started testing for it. It would be quite easy to convert the entire dairy industry of the entire planet to A2, and if there actually was any benefit, that’s exactly what would happen.
