Recent scientific research supports the benefits of A2 dairy products:
-
A 2021 study in the Journal of Nutrition found that A2 milk caused significantly less digestive discomfort compared to conventional milk containing A1 proteins¹
-
Research published in Nutritional Biochemistry demonstrated that A2 beta-casein doesn't produce the inflammatory BCM-7 peptide found in A1 dairy²
-
The European Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported improved cognitive function in children consuming A2 dairy products³
Raw Milk Benefits Supported by Research:
- A comprehensive review in the Journal of Food Protection showed raw milk contains higher levels of natural antimicrobial components⁴
- Studies in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found raw milk consumption was associated with reduced allergies in children⁵
- The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology documented higher levels of bioactive proteins in raw versus pasteurized milk⁶
