" # $ % By Laine Bergeson Becco, FMCHC | Experience Life January 25, 2021 1. Organic butter offers more healing omega-3 fatty acids than other butters. And it’s less likely to have high levels of toxins, which can accumulate in an animal’s fatty tissues. 2. Grassfed butter delivers more beta-carotene and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Beta- carotene is a potent antioxidant, and CLA can help improve body composition and reduce cardiovascular-disease risk. Some studies also show CLA may help protect against cancer. 3. Cultured butter is slightly fermented or aged. “Fermenting butter increases the amount of butyrate,” says nutritionist Liz Lipski, PhD, which is a win for gut health. It also has a slightly tangy flavor that many people enjoy. 4. Unsalted butter is largely a matter of taste preference compared with salted butter. Like butter, salt carries its own stigma when it comes to heart health — one that has been debunked in recent years. (For more on concerns about sodium, see “Is Salt Bad for You — Or Not?”. ) 5. Ghee is a clarified butter in which the milk has been heated and the solids skimmed off. It can be used in all the same ways as butter, and because the solids have been removed, it is often more digestible for people who don’t tolerate casein or lactose. It contains the same nutrients as butter, including butyrate. Ghee is stable at room temperature, making it a good option for meals on the go or while camping. (For a tasty recipe for infused ghee, visit “Infused Ghee”. ) This article originally appeared as “Butter Up” in “Everything’s Better With Butter” in the January/February 2021 issue of Experience Life.

However, as dairy-intolerant athletes do not obtain the reported benefits from milk-based products, A2 milk may offer a suitable alternative as it lacks the A1-protein. This study aimed to determine the effect of A2 milk on recovery from a sports-specific muscle damage model. Twenty-one male team sport players were allocated to three independent groups: A2 milk (n = 7), regular milk (n = 7), and placebo (PLA) (n = 7). Immediately following muscle-damaging exercise, participants consumed either A2 milk, regular milk or PLA (500 mL each). Visual analogue scale (muscle soreness), maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), countermovement jump (CMJ) and 20-m sprint were measured prior to and 24, 48, and 72 h post EIMD. At 48 h post-EIMD, CMJ and 20-m sprint recovered quicker in A2 (33.4 ± 6.6 and 3.3 ± 0.1, respectively) and regular milk (33.1 ± 7.1 and 3.3 ± 0.3, respectively) vs.

  • Difficulties with Dairy – Is A2 Milk the Answer?
    Difficulties with Dairy – Is A2 Milk the Answer? So often, when someone experiences stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea and/or other disturbing gastrointestinal discomfort after milk or dairy products, he or she assumes “I guess I’m lactose intolerant and can’t enjoy milk anymore” – and that could be true, as an estimated 30-50 million Americans lack the ability to digest and absorb the naturally occurring milk sugar, lactose. However, some emerging research suggests that these unfortunate individuals may not have a lactose intolerance, but rather a protein intolerance. It is thought that A1, a natural variant of cow’s milk beta-casein protein may be culprit behind these less-than-pleasant post-dairy experiences, and that the relatively new-on-the-market “A2 Milk” may offer some relief to those that have difficulties with dairy. Milk Protein 101: There are 2 major protein groups in milk – casein and whey, the majority of which is casein. Caseins are actually a group of proteins; about 1/3 of caseins are beta caseins. The beta caseins have 2 common variants, A1 and A2 beta casein. Most milk contains a mixture of the A1 and A2 beta casein (about 60% A2, 40% A1), however, the ratio of these A2 and A1 proteins can vary with different breeds of dairy cattle. The Background: Thousands of years ago, cows only made milk with the A2 beta casein protein (not the A1). Some 8,000 years ago, a natural single genetic mutation of the beta casein protein gene in Holstein cows (the stereotypical black and white dairy cattle) resulted in production of milk with the A1 (and A2) beta casein protein.

David Dallas, PhD Assistant Professor Nutrition School of Biological and Population Health Sciences College of Public Health and Human Sciences Oregon State University A2 milk • 2015: 9.3% of milk sold in Australia is A2. • Also increasing proportion of formula market • Now in United States, China, New Zealand, UK • Higher price point: Roughly $9/gallon vs. $5/gallon A1 vs. A2 milk • Amino acid polymorphism in beta- casein • One amino acid different (out of 209 amino acids) • Beta-casein makes up ~30% of cow milk protein • Most cows produce a mix of A1 and A2 beta casein. • U.S. Holsteins are primarily A1. Guernsey almost all A2. Jersey and Brown Swiss have low A1. Original claims • A1 milk increases risk of type I diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, autism symptoms and many other diseases, but A2 milk doesn’t. (Elliott et al., 1999; McLachlan, 2001 ) • Based on epidemiological evidence. Early findings led to formation of A2 milk company. • Based on this evidence, the A2 milk company was suing other companies based on the claim that A1 milk was harmful to the consumer Does A1 milk increase diabetes risk? • Studies found epidemiologic association between type I diabetes and A1 consumption • 10 countries, type 1 diabetes incidence, A1 ratio in national herd, amount of milk protein produced for consumption • Mechanism: release of beta-casomorphin-7 from A1 protein. • BCM-7 has immune suppressant effect, could be linked to type I diabetes development. • Correlation does not equal causation: Did not account for other factors • Confounding factors: other exposures, genetic predisposition, lifestyle, etc.

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, more than 80% of Australians are not eating enough dairy foods 1. Whilst milk is widely recognised as an important source of calcium, it is not just calcium that a glass of milk provides . Milk and dairy foods contain a unique combination of macronutrients, including high-quality protein containing all of the essential amino acids . It also contains important micronutrients including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamin B12, as well as bioactive components . The nutrient content, physical structure, and how these interact in dairy foods (specifically milk, yoghurt and cheese) is known as the 'Dairy Matrix' . Current evidence suggests that the Dairy Matrix has specific beneficial effects on health due to the metabolic effects of whole dairy, differing from those of single dairy nutrients .2 In other words, the nutritional value and health benefits of dairy should not just be considered equivalent to the individual nutrients dairy supplies . Throughout life, dairy foods play an important role in supporting growth, development and good health . It is widely recommended that young children, from the age of 1 year, should drink primarily water or cow’s milk .3,4 This chart shows the recommended amounts of dairy to consume each day:5 Children 1½–2 serves up to 8 years old Older children & adolescents 2½–3 serves ages 8-18 years Younger adults 2½ serves ages 19-51 years Older adults, particularly women, 3½–4 serves ages 51+ years Standard serve = 1 cup (250ml) milk or 2 slices (40g) hard cheese, 1/2 cup (120g) ricotta cheese, 3/4 cup (200g) yoghurt .
