The correlation between drinking milk containing the A1 protein, heart disease, and type 1 diabetes seems very strong. Perhaps now the tenuous link between cholesterol, saturated fat, and heart disease can be severed. If saturated fat loses its unhealthy status hopefully the public will abandon unsaturated fat, or at least get a measure of protection from its oxidation in vivo, and the general health will rise.
I know the linked article comes from a vested interest, but it is possibly the most concise précis of past and current studies. Regards Ivan. from: http://www.a2corporation.com/html/pdf/The%20Future%20of%20Milk.pdf ...Statistical studies on 16 countries including the U.K., France, West Germany, Iceland, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Finland and Ireland support Dr McLachlans work - the rate of coronary heart disease is highest in countries where A1 milk consumption is highest(9). Finland, as mentioned above, has the highest consumption of A1 protein in the world, the highest incidence of childhood diabetes, and, the highest rate of coronary heart disease in the world. West Germany: West Germany has among the most detailed knowledge of the diet and health patterns of its population. It has regional records of the breed of dairy herds dating more than 50 years. The incidence of A1 cows in herds varies from province to province - as does incidence of coronary heart disease. Schleswig- Holstein in the north, for example, has approximately twice the heart disease rate of Bavaria in the south. A1 levels in milk consumed in the north of Germany are also approximately twice as high as in Bavaria in the south. Dr McLachlans studies show a strong correlation between the regional rate of death from heart disease and the regional variation in the amount of A1 in milk. This same regional variation has been found in diabetes in young children. There is almost no variation in smoking or other risk factors for heart disease such as saturated fats... -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
