Upstairs in the Community Room

I will show how we can and should position the cow in current American life. She has no adequate substitute. Your cow is a self-renewing source of superior food. I will demolish the currently fashionable notion that cows produce more CO2 than automobiles and pour methane into the atmosphere. We will discuss the unexpected conflation of vegan philosophy with agribusiness monoculture. I will explore the role of raw milk and colostrum in the prevention or relief of many conditions including skin disorders, obesity, C. difficile, arthritis, and the common cold.

I will describe current research on A2 milk, and the importance of raw milk for all mammalian babies. With raw milk from a pastured cow available there is no need to destroy Asian forests for coconut oil or to buy high-priced imported berries for vitamin C. Raw milk has it all. I will counter the specious arguments against milk often employed to dismiss the importance of milk in the diet. A cow is less trouble than a goat and requires less land than you may think.  We will explore the pros and cons of family cows vs. goats and other dairy animals and the practical considerations involved.

The Case of the Curious Caseins – A1/A2 Milk

Here’s an interesting article by one of our local Eugene Chapter member bloggers:

It is always exciting to encounter a fresh topic that has escaped attention, yet with a little investigation, demands it. So it is with the story of A1 / A2 milk. I first became aware of the existence of this issue at a potluck dinner with health-conscious fellow diners. As it turns out, this is old news to residents of New Zealand, where a few researchers and entrepreneurs have been promoting the virtues of A2 milk for about a decade. The story is about the role of a milk protein, beta-casein, that can take on two very similar forms, called A1 and A2, depending upon a single simple mutation of one gene. The A1 form of the beta-casein, upon digestion, breaks down into beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM7), a fairly stable and strong opiate which appears to cause health problems in some people some of the time. Meanwhile, the A2 beta casein proteins are digested completely and don’t generate the problematic BCM7.

The evidence suggests that BCM7 can trigger the auto-immune response responsible for Type 1 diabetes, and it is implicated in arterial damage and consequently could be a factor in heart disease. In addition, there is evidence for connections between BCM7 and autism, schizophrenia, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and milk intolerance.  read more >>
