Is Milk a Culprit for Bad Health?
Dr. Thomas Cowan
Chelsea Green Publishing
A new book uncovers why milk from certain kinds of cows can cause health concerns.
The following is an excerpt from Devil in the Milk: Illness, Health, and the Politics of A1 and A2 Milk by Keith Woodford. It has been adapted for the Web.
"What North Americans should be concerned about is that North American milk is very high in A1 beta-casein, and no one is doing anything about it."
-- Keith Woodford
My career as a physician, which now spans over 25 years, has been closely linked to milk and other dairy products. That connection is thanks in part to a book I came across early in my medical training -- The Milk of Human Kindness Is not Pasteurized, by William Campbell Douglass, MD, a true medical rebel. It turned out to be one of the most important books on medicine that I have ever read, and it helped form my views on medicine. (The book has since been republished as The Milk Book.)
