I am doing research for my book and needed a citation about how INFLAMMATORY dairy is and why. So I found this great article from European Journal of Nutrition but I was a bit confused as to the A1 and A2 proteins. So I googled that and this creamery had a good explanation. So heres the conclusion of the European study RESULTS: It was observed that consumption of A1 like variants (A1A1 and A1A2) significantly increased (p < 0.01) the levels of MPO, MCP-1, IL-4, total IgE, IgG, IgG1, IgG2a and leukocyte infiltration in intestine. TLR-2 and TLR-4 mRNA expression was also up-regulated (p < 0.01) on administration of A1 like variants. However, no changes in sIgA, IgA+ and goblet cell numbers were recorded on consumption of any of the β-casein variants. CONCLUSION: It is reasonable to conclude that consumption of A1 like variants of β-casein induced inflammatory response in gut by activating Th2 pathway as compared to A2A2 variants. The present study thus supports the purported deleterious impacts of consumption of A1 like variants of β-casein and suggests possible aggravation of inflammatory response for etiology of various health disorders. BOTTOM LINE: Our modern day dairy is very inflammatory -- dont eat it! And the link to a good explanation of A1 and A2 proteins from cows below. snowvillecreamery/a1-and-a2-beta-casein-in-cow-milk.html
