Is This Misleading, Marketing Madness Aggravating Your PCOS?
Ok, so yes, I am on a rant! One of the lovely ladies in one of my Facebook forums brought this to my attention, and it makes me mad!
In Australia and New Zealand, largely due to the pioneering work and research of Professor Keith Woodford, as well as his book “Devil In The Milk,” we are aware that the A1 milk protein has strong links to heart disease, Schizophrenia, Diabetes, autism, brain function, and insulin resistance. This is serious stuff! And this is very important for folks with PCOS who choose to drink milk.
I strongly recommend you read this book. Yes, it is a heavy read, but it is an empowering one. Just click on the picture to find out more.
What is the difference between A1 and A2?
It comes down to an amino acid and genetics.
A1 breeds produce A1 milk, A2 breeds produce A2 milk, and animals with a mixed genetic make-up – with both A1 and A2 genes – produce mixed milk, that is, milk with A1 and A2 components. This is where I get mad!
As people become more aware of the benefits of A2 milk over A1, brands and marketers follow suit. And they will use techniques – such as this one – to unethically, but legally, try to mislead you. “Naturally contains A2 protein” does NOT mean it does not contain the nasty A1 protein. It may mean your dairy product is from a mixed breed, and so contains both. Yes, A1 may be in there as well.
It is essential to decipher the wheat (free!) from the chaff; your health depends on it.
There are several reasons I recommend dairy-free options, but if you don’t wish to adopt a dairy-free lifestyle, consider A2-only products. It is essential to identify what may be exacerbating your PCOS, as this is a crucial factor.
