The science behind these two type of milk

We know once we consume any food it will reach the stomach through the oesophagus then intestine. in the intestine, digestive enzymes break protein to amino acid chains called BETA CASEMORPHIN-7 (BCM-7).

Both the A1 and A2 milks are produce different type of amino-acids.

A1 milk produces the amino acid called as Hestidine. and

A2 milk produces Proline amino acids.

Here this beta casomorphin (BCM-7) is an opioid peptide that will not digest in our body easily. it will remain undigested and leads to severe diseases like diabetes and other diseases.

The Proline present in A2 which prevents the BCM-7 to enter the body hence the digestion of A2 is easier than A1 milk.

And also this BCM-7 is not present in the desi cow’s urine or blood and this is present in jersey and foreign cows.

The Strontium element only present in A2 milk which increases immunity which prevents the harmful radiations to our body.

The cerebrosides which boosts the brain power and its health.

According to studies of Indian journal of endocrinology and metabolism type -1 diabetes patients have a connection with A1 milk consumption. and this research shows the A1 milk consumption leads to heart disease, mental disorder, diabetes, allergy, and autism.

And also researches is USA and Russia shows A1 beta casein protein contains a huge amount of BCM-7 protein. In case the consumption of A1 milk by kids having brain development and leads to heart disease and diabetes.
