milk might end today, tomatoes thursday, rest are clearance :)
Thanks.
How long is a piece of string?
|———————————————————-|
This long.
I guess that wasn't the correct answer lol
A2 half price? That's a deal.. never seen that on discount let alone half price!
yes - but only full cream not light iirc :(
I too, wept.
I hate the milk advert. I refuse to drink their milk because I feel they try to create a problem that doesnt exist then prey on the feeble minded
Thank you A2.
According to the ABC Checkout programme, they believe that A2 only milk is not really any better than milk that has A1and A2. I think it is mostly marketing rather than a real benefit for most people.
It's for the gullible people.
I just watched that piece by The Checkout again. I notice that A2 is taking legal action relating to balance in that report. I still haven't seen any reference to independent studies that clearly support the A2 claims. Also, my understanding is that the difference is not that A2 milk has A2, but that it des not also have A1 like regular milk does..
Anyone able to link to independent evidence in the argument for A2 only milk?
I know people who get bad reactions (squirts etc) to normal milk, but A2 is fine. They cant drink the Dairy Farmers A2 which is random varying amounts of A1 and A2. If youre diabetic, and still want to drink some milk, its PROBABLY better to use A2.
Some babies cant drink cows milk either (they just vomit it up), but goat milk is fine. Goat milk is naturally all A2.
Whether the hype behind marketing company behind the name A2s claims are real or not I cant say. I know a goat dairy farmer that hates them because she cant market her naturally occurring 100% A2 milk as A2 without threats of lawsuits by the A2 marketing group.
@justtoreply:
Theres no evidence to suggest its wrong. If it was complete bollox, there could easily be evidence its bollox. Thee is tentative evidence there may be causal links, there is certainly correlation (but correlation is not necessarily causation), to diabetes and various digestive issues such as some sufferers of IBS.There is a wiki, and part of it discusses the difference being one amino acid (of the 209 in milk) in both A1 and A2, that appears in the chain of amino acids in different places between the two variations. That place, is exactly where the digestive systems starts to break down milk. Its probably why digestive issues and intolerance is lessened with all A2 milk.
Its not a cure for cancer, but if you cant digest milk, or tolerate it, you just might find you can tolerate this. Its also the break down of milk, that effects carbs or lactose, so potentially why it might be a better choice of milk (if they insist on drinking some) for a diabetic. Carbs, are sugar,t he simpler the sugar, the more it negatively effects a diabetic. So effectively A2 may be a lower GI, complex sugar which in small amounts a diabetic might be able to handle depending on severity of their condition, and rest of the diet.
Also worth noting that Asian herds are still A2 dominant. While European herds underwent a transformation and A2 was lost. One can only guess there was a desirable trait such as volume maybe that farmers targeted and bred. It seems A2 is real, and while the science isnt clear, there seems to be anecdotal evidence that theres some truth to it.
"Some babies cant drink cows milk either (they just vomit it up), but goat milk is fine. Goat milk is naturally all A2."
Are you saying that those babies can't drink A2 only cow's milk?
@jdr:
No, Im saying some babies cant drink the cows milk, whether it be formula or fresh. And an alternative that often works is to switch to goats milk. Goats milk is all A2. There is no such thing as A1 goat milk. Im not saying that A2 will be fine, but offering a circumstance in which the switch from an A1 protein milk to A2 protein milk, albeit a species change too (cow to goat), has shown a benefit.As Ive said above, the Asian dairy herd is A2 too. Something happened during the farming and breeding of European herds that bred A2 out, or at least swamped it with A1.
This is the problem, there is a lot of use of the words like "maybe" and "may".
There seems not to be any independent scientific studies that have supported A2.
"…..some babies cant drink the cows milk,….."
So it could easily be unrelated to A2, but some other difference between cow and goats milk.
Fact is farming has done a lot to damage food. Fruits amd vegies are picked very green, then ripened with gas when needed, often months after picking. There are nutrients that are not developed until the fruit ripens, but only if its still on the plant. We dont get those nutrients unless we grow our own.
Many species of fruits and veg are now nearly extinct (many are extinct), they werent the prettiest, the popular easiest to grown pest resistant etc. Some exist as heirloom varieties. Its not a long shot to think that dairy farmers found a characteristic, that over thousands of years, has resulted in a damaging change in the product.
Ever bitten into a lovely yellow banana that was like chalk? Looks ripe, looks perfect, but just never really ripened as it was just too green when picked. They pick this stuff way to early. I can promise you they come into the markets dry as chalk inside, theres no moisture in a banana off the train. Its sour, and sucks the life out of you mouth. Most fruit and veg is picked this way, it transports better, looks perfect on the shelf when ripened with gas, less spoilage and waste. But lets take a tomato for example, its not the tomato your Gran used to eat as a kid.
@Tuba:
Fair enough, I think I understand what you are trying to say in general, except for that last sentence.@jdr: Apologies, I went to reply to my post adding information, but ended up editing it instead so now its not the same thing you responded too. Ive tried to replicate the gist below.
@jdr:
"…..some babies cant drink the cows milk,….."

Yeah, as I said that too. But the science from the 80s (not A2 company, but independent medical research that discovered the A1 A2 difference) suggests the difference is 1 amino acid from 209 amino acids that make the milk protein, and that one amino acid is in a different place within the chain, and the place that its found in A1, is exactly where the digestive system makes it first crack to break down the the protein.
It does seem likely that IBS sufferers and other digestive discomfort sufferers and diabetics might benefit from A2.
As I said, babies that vomit cows milk often benefit from goats milk. Thats not new, theyve known that since at least the 1950s. Seems likely the reason could be that amino acid.
I think it is mostly marketing rather than a real benefit for most people.
yes most people don't have dairy issues :)

of course instead of dairy, one can always drink coconut, almond, or soy instead, amongst other alternatives :)

I thought the same until we tried it. Much easier on the stomach for lactose intolerant people.
For how long? Most specials end today.
