This groundbreaking work examines the link between a protein in the milk we drink and a range of serious illnesses, including heart disease, Type1 diabetes, autism, and schizophrenia. These health problems are linked to a tiny protein fragment formed in digesting A1 beta-casein, a milk protein most commonly found in cow milk produced in the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and northern Europe. A1 beta-casein stems from a genetic mutation that affected European cattle thousands of years ago. The author brings together evidence from more than 100 scientific papers, presenting the A1/A2 hypothesis, and examines population studies that explore the compelling link between consumption of A1 milk and illness.
