I milk my cow and she is A2. She is a Guernsey. Her milk is so good. Her butter is so good too. Cows are AMAZING animals. They produce so much for us to eat. They take grass and convert it to digestible healthy foods for us.
Indian cows generally called desi cows give a2 milk It is written in Hindu scriptures (Ayurveda) about the benefits of a2 milk. This is also one of the reasons why we call a2 cows as gau mata. The scientific name for a2 cows are called Bos Indicus and a1 cows are Bos Taurus.
@@tanishq7399 nope. Not all indian cows. And just a cow giving A2 is not a benchmark of Good milk. Majority or almost all indian milk farmers inject antibodies and harmons to get high flow of milk.
Our daughter had stomach pains after drinking milk so much that we thought she was lactose intolerant. Now we have both A2 and organic non-homogenised milk from local places with grass fed cows and very good farming practices. More expensive but worth it. No more problems unless she eats elsewhere and gets some other brand milk. Very thankful we have brilliant quality local dairy here (Australia). I don’t have milk anymore myself but I have joint problems since childhood and found regular supermarket milk very inflammatory, ie joints swell within an hour of drinking a glass of milk but I can eat good quality dairy on keto with no inflammation at all!
Most people are intolerance to A1 and can drinj A2/A2 milk, but remember that it must be A2/A2 and in Europe we have pure breed cows that only gives this milk. Jersey cows, brown Swiss, Fleckvieh, the dutch Blaarkop and the dutch Witrik cow amd there are a couple of breeds over here we prefer over a normal holstein b3cause of thw intolerance to A1 milk in a lot of people
Raw milk is some of the best foods you can get. It has done so much good for me. Too bad people are so against it, because the pasteurised can cause problems.
Actually, milk is not a good food for adult humans. We r the only species that drink milk as an adult. Milk is for babies and kids up to 5 years old. As for pasteurisation, this is a process to make sure all the nasty stuff that gets into milk is killed. Unless you milk your own cow, I’d not trust any unpasteurised milk. PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF!
Well Dr Berg, You said to add a comment so I'm going to add a comment... I just wanted to say "Thank you," you are changing my life😁 you're changing the lives of thousands if not millions of people around the United States, maybe even around the world. Please don't ever change, you're doing an amazing thing that's going to change the future. Anybody else would be trying to make a million dollars off of the information you're giving away for free. And that's exactly what our country needs, we need to have information on how we can fix ourselves. And don't let Hollywood come knocking. That would break my heart, in fact I think that would break a lot of people's hearts, so don't be taken in by them and any offers they might have for you,.. Just stay who you are. You are a wonderful man doing a wonderful thing.. And I'm sure that God will bless you for it. Take good care sincerely your devoted student Tammie Clifford Ashworth💕
Few things, even if you buy 100% grass fed or Organic milk, you can still be allergic to dairy. I am allergic to the A1 beta casein protein, and I get bloated after I drink regular milk (whatever brand, whatever variety, even lactose free). It is true A2 may not be 100% grass fed but that is the only milk I can consume other than goat milk (awful smell!!) or non-dairy milk without any discomfort. There is snowville creamery brand which provides A2 milk and their cattle's are grass fed (may not be 100% grass fed) but their carton is just weird and I hate the way to open and pour. Even though Maple Hill and Organic valley grass fed milk carton shows brown cows giving an indication it might be Jersey cattle or similar but most of their milk comes from hybrid holstein cows (which is generally high in A1 beta casein protein). Technically, it is always better to drink milk from the Indigenous cow varieties but they are near impossible to find nowadays. I sometimes get guernsey cow milk from the local farms during summer but it is crazy expensive. Wish we could get some guernsey cow milk in the stores here in USA. Hopefully we will get A2 100% Grass fed milk in future. That will be amazing!!
@@sergewoodbueno interesting. I’ve never had raw A2 but I drink raw A1 daily and have never had any issues. I actually thrive off it and have been getting in super good shape
I read that only cows with humps i.e. those from Africa and India produce the beneficial A2 milk. While European and American Jersey cows produce the A1 milk which is unhealthy for humans. This video is confusing.
Milky Way Farm in South Carolina has had their cows tested and confirmed their cows have A2 milk. South Carolina allows the sale of unpasteurized milk as well so you can purchase milk either pasteurized or unpasteurized from the farm along with other products. My husband & youngest daughter usually can’t drink milk due to horrible digestive upset but it doesn’t happen with Milky Way farm milk.
I cannot tolerate A1 cheese but I can do A2. Yay! Just discovered this about 6 weeks ago. I thought that I had said goodbye to all dairy years ago, but now, I am smiling very happily now. A1 would flare up my asthma really bad. Now I am breathing just fine. With cheese.
I look on the package to see where it originates from. I buy lots of different types of European. Just flip it over, and look. It also depends on your taste buds. Some people like gouda and some don't. Some like sharp and some like smooth. It is fun to find out what YOU like. Hope this helps.
Not all Jersey cows are A2. Our Jersey cow is A2 but you have to have your Jersey genetically tested to see if she carries the A2 trait. There are lots of Jersey's that are A1
I thought Jersey milk was A2 but reading the comment section i'm a bit confused. I search in google and i've found jersey milk was A2. For those who claim that's false , do you have any links ?? And is goat and sheep milk a2 only ? I used to buy raw milk from jersey cow because i thought it was a2 milk .... (I live in France.) Thank you.
Casein = milk protein increases the proliferation of prostate cancer cells. Milk includes multiple nutritional factors, carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and minerals Naturally, most milk proteins including casein can promote the growth of both normal cells and cancer cells.
Wrong. Without elevated insulin caused by carbohydrates amino acids in these quantities won't have any significant effect on increasing mTOR which is the indicator for cell proliferation. And any protein source contains leucine which if associated with carbs increases mTOR, it's not a special propriety of milk proteins... You are disinformed.
Among the European cattles, most jersey/guernsey cattle produce a2 milk, but if the bloodlines that were imported to India are of A1/A2 gene instead of A2/A2 then they will produce A1 milk
I have a milking shorthorn and an Ayrshire cow who are both A2A2. The milk basically saved my life because I totally stopped being able to eat. Even keto did not help. My whole body becomes inflamed at all grains, most oils, I'm celiac too, and even vegetables hurt my stomach. Basically everything hurts. But then I was able to sip on the A2A2 milk and I am now starting to eat a few things again. I now just drink Kefir made with the A2A2 milk (because I feared more inflammation), I can eat some homemade cheese that I make, and eggs, and some meat, but I have to force myself to eat still. I'm really hoping I can start getting some more healing.
Very interesting that Zingermans cheese was shown in this video. Zingermans is in Ann Arbor Michigan. A² or A2 is used locally in Ann Arbor in print for shorthand. The video is talking about A2 milk. But A2 milk has nothing to do with Ann Arbor or Zingerman’s.
I would like to see a video done on bread made with natural yeast, so that it's fermented and made the old-fashioned way that takes about 24 hours. I would be curious to know the nutritional value and comparison with store bread.
Also if you live in Ohio, there is Snowville Creamery, and all cows there are Jersey, and it's 100% tested A2. You really can notice the difference, A2 milk is great!
I’m live in Ohio. I have access to A1 Raw Milk not to far from where I live. The A2/A2 Raw Milk is just too far from where I’m at. But I’m a have to figure out a way of getting my hands on some A2/A2. I’m a look into the place you suggested. Thanks. 👍🥛
I have just switched over to Jersey and Guernsey milk, I love the super creamy taste. There are still mixed messages regarding the consumption of dairy milks and as I am very tolerant of just about any food out there, I am still putting milk in my golden milk (turmeric tea), regular black or red tea and coffee. I may have to start measuring my milk "allowance" out every day to make sure I am not overdoing it. To be fair there are far worse things that entered my diet and I am taking notes and rooting out all offending ingredients as I learn more. Thanks so much for this channel.
Though A2 milk is good, the A2 milk company in the US is not. The product is not organic, it is ultra homogenized (this is very bad for you) and ultra pasteurized for long shelf life. They give very cagey responses when asked about these things. I would much rather drink local organic milk from dairies that have majority A2 cows.
What about Raw milk? My sister has Jersery, Holstien, Herford and Dextor Cows. (Herford to breed the dairy cows with so when steers are born, they grow up to go to "freezer camp" aka: we eat them)The milk we get from them is NOT pasteurized. We make cheeses and yogurt from the milk also. The milk we drink is whole cream milk. We do separate the cream some times, but that milk is than used to make soap and not drank. I was just wondering if you had any thoughts on Raw Milk vs Pasteurized milk?
I think that you are great, Dr. Berg! I am honestly not 100% sold on your views about keto (I have actually tried the diet and it did not feel a good fit for me), BUT.. I thoroughly enjoy all the information you share and how well-documented it is. Thank you for your work!
Any breed of cow can have A2A2 milk . They need to be tested to know for sure . Natural Way Cheese House in Clare Michigan makes nongmo A2A2 Cheese in several varieties.
A2 milk is based on genetics, not geolocation. A2 was first marketed and sold in New Zealand, when they discovered the genetics and found it could be given to children who were allergic to milk.
Wrong. Since ancient times the cows were A2. In the times of the industrial revolution when there was a larger demand for milk, breeders bred cows to produce offspring that produced more amount of milk with larger udders. This made the A1 form more widespread.
Jersey cows are somewhere near 60% however, many are practicing selective breeding to eliminate the A1 gene. Holstein cow milk (where most of all US milk come from) are the largest source of A1 milk. Many heritage milk cow such as Guernsey, Short Horn, etc., and buffalo and bison are also A2.
I'm seeing Internet articles that say that consuming A2 milk leads to insulin resistance and type 1 diabetes. Has Dr. Berg had his say on this subject?
The New Zealand dairy industry is both grass fed and has a sector focus on moving to A2 genetics. Keith Woodford who wrote the book on A2 beta-casein benefits (Devil in the Milk: Illness, Health and Politics) reports that from 2024 born calves, over 85% will be the A2 variant. A2 milk is used exclusively, in New Zealand, in infant formulas. I have a copy of Keith's book and it gives a deep biochemical insight into why A1 beta-casein is so bad.
AWESOME INFO!! EVERY LITTLE BIT OF YOUR INFORMATION HELPS TO GUIDE US IN, OUT AND AROUND THE TROUBLE SPOTS IN OUR DIETS. SO IMPORTANT TO AVOID THE PITFALLS IN ORDER TO MAKE BETTER PROGRESS.
If you’re gonna do dairy, check with the seller/farmer. Any reliable source is going to have had the cow producing the milk genetically tested. It should be A2A2. To go one step further A2A2B1.
Some days I do this, too! When I'm hungry, I eat. It's such an easy plan for finally looking at food as FUEL, so if I'm not even hungry for ONE meal, I look for nutrients and eat that... to fuel my body. Who knew? Always thought food was a social and emotional tool until keto. Ha.
I had testing done to find food allergies. My test results showed I have difficulties with the casein. Thank you for getting back with me with your reply.
I thought Jersey milk was A2 but reading the comment section i'm a bit confused. I search in google and i've found jersey milk was A2. For those who claim that's false , do you have any links ?? And is goat and sheep milk a2 only ? I used to buy raw milk from jersey cow because i thought it was a2 milk .... (I live in France.) Thank you.
Lil mee yeah i eat it every day here in Greece.... its about 40% fat in general and only made from sheep/goat milk. They have very strict guidelines on how its made so it can be called Feta Cheese
Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge. I find that you do it in a very clear and helpful way. Here where I live in southern France, we are able to get goat’s cheese locally. I remember you saying there was something that was particularly useful in goat cheese when on a keto diet. What Is in goats cheese that is good for our health? PS, would you like me to translate and create voice-overs of your videos into French?
Ahhh! Cascadia Creamery! From Trout Lake, WA! It's a stunning place to visit, but most of WA is... we also have some fantastic creameries in Lynden, WA, if you can get ahold of any of their products. Super Yum, for those who can tolerate dairy.
Why do you recommend to not drink milk? All the other milks out there have emulsifiers and create bloating too. The ones that don't have it aren't fortified with anything and are super expensive.
I haven't been able to eat cheese for forty years. It would be nice to find out this might be the cause. I've been able to consume pure cream and butter but not milk. I've never tried A2 but I'm about to now.
Thanks Dr. Berg. I saw the commercial on TV and did not know what they were talking about. I was buying organic grass fed milk at $5.50 a half gallon; the milk tasted better. I will try A2 Milk now and look for those cheeses. I rarely eat dairy and use coconut milk as a substitute. Do they have A2 Butter? I buy Irish butter at the moment.
Great Explanation!!! I have been in integrative health for decades and DID not know about the A1 Versus the A2 - "we" have known from the seventies that pasteurization binds up most that is good in all types of milk products - many who cannot take milk can often find they do well on raw, grass fed cow, goat and sheep milk - and raw cheeses. Another great video, Dr. Berg!
I thought Jersey milk was A2 but reading the comment section i'm a bit confused. I search in google and i've found jersey milk was A2. For those who claim that's false , do you have any links ?? And is goat and sheep milk a2 only ? I used to buy raw milk from jersey cow because i thought it was a2 milk .... (I live in France.) Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Berg you answered my question! I want to tell you my son and I have been on keto and IF since February 2018, 6 months already, we fill great! My son has lost about 45 pounds, he is 14 y/o. We started doing 2 meals and now OMAD and rarely 2 meals. He was loosing weight but was always carting a belly so about 2 months ago he cut casein, just doing goat cheese and he started to shrink! We also cut lectins. We started to try this after researching about milk and lectins and I connected the dots knowing that I never breastfed him but fed him with barley and milk formula. So since he is 4y/o. He had petit mal. To me make a lot of sense, his condition also his keratosis p. Shows something is bugging his gut. We have achieved so much and I think we are going to make it. We love our life style, love keto and IF. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, that is greatness. Best for you and family. And I will let you know when my son gets totally clean, healthy and beautiful gut.
Good info. Been wanting to try this dairy that sells A2. Could you do a video on extended fasting and what can be expected as the fast progresses from a three day to a five day to a seven day and up to a ten day fast. Such as autophagy, growth hormone and also angiogenisis concerning the type of health benefits that can happen to the body at those times. Thank you.
I tried A2 Milk tonight and it seemed really sweet compared to some other bio organic milk with cream. I wandered if cows fed on wheat or grain have a higher sugar content due to the corbohydrates being digested in the cows gut? I haven't seeked out A2 milk thats organic yet so not sure about this! Its so sweet it put me off a bit. It says on the label its homogenised and pasteurized and has emzines in it and otherwise just normal milk.
Thanks for that explanation. Can you explain what those additives to milk/whipping cream are? I know that carageenan is very inflammatory, but what is Glellan gum and disodium phosphate? Are they not good to consume? GOT to have cream in my coffee! I can only find one expensive organic brand that has none of these. But maybe they are not so bad? Thanks again for ALL the incredible advice you post for FREE here on UA-cam!
Cathy T the organic one I buy is just heavy cream and gellan gum. Gellan gum is a water-soluble anionic polysaccharide produced by the bacterium Sphingomonas elodea. I'm not sure if that's REALLY bad or not, (it's used as a thickening agent) but the whipping cream I buy is the best one I've found. Every other kind is filled with junk...So I go with Horizon Organic. I've read that gellan gum can alter the bacteria of the gut, but that's probably in large amounts. Gellan gum is used in tiny amounts, and therefore it's probably hard to consume enough to be a problem. But if you notice intestinal issues, you might be sensitive to it.
Dexter Morgan incorrect...many whipping creams have additives like carageenan and polysorbate 80. It's hard to find whipping cream with only cream as the one ingredient.
Hold up! Not all Jersey cows produce A2A2- it’s about a 50/50 chance if I recall right. They must be tested. There is no cow that I know of that can be said to be an excessively A2 producing breed. I’ve been helping a friend with her cows for a few years and we always test. I’ve worked with Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire,Normandy and Brown Swiss cows. Any of those breeds has potential to test A2A2 but they also have potential to test A1A1 or A1A2. It’s only known through a test that is not very expensive and is a matter of plucking some tail hairs and sending them in. Jersey and Guernsey breeds have my favorite milk- rich, creamy and dreamy. Guernsey cows often have a yellow tint to their milk because they don’t absorb beta carotene and therefore put it into their milk.
Correction- I looked it up and read in the article, “Value-Added Cow Genetics: Taking a look at A2A2” by Tamara Scully, NODPA News that now it’s estimated that “approximately 80% of Guernsey cows” are A2A2, “85%” of Jerseys and Norwegian Reds (a breed with which I am not familiar) and Brown Swiss breeds are well above 50%.”
My boyfriend did a co-op on a dairy farm where they milk only cows from the breed holstien and over half the amount of milk producing cows produced A2 protein milk and the cows were DNA tested and indeed over half the cows were A2 protein and had 0% Jersey blood.
Keto doesn’t work for everyone. Ive fasted for 22 days and my BG was still over 120. Get tested at Viome, you may have other needs not being met by keto. Your gut bacteria have needs
people need to understand that dairy in North American does not represent the entire dairy products world wide,,,very important to understand,,,,I consume milk has ethnic somali man we are raised on camel milk in horn of Africa and its very healthy and good for bone growth since we are so tall we get all our proteins from camel milk
Dr Berg, Can you please advise what type of milk will be good to give my 1 year old? Since, you don't advise drinking cows milk. I'm still breastfeeding her, but soon I will stop. I'm currently living in México and I recently found organic milk that supposedly is from grassfed cows. I'm not sure if that makes a difference? I hope you can answer my questions. Thank you
I milk my cow and she is A2. She is a Guernsey. Her milk is so good. Her butter is so good too. Cows are AMAZING animals. They produce so much for us to eat. They take grass and convert it to digestible healthy foods for us.
That's why Hindis consider cows as holy and don't kill cow for beef meat...they provide milk, cheese, yogurt, kefir....God bless!.

Not all jersey cows are double A2. Additionally, there are many other cow breeds that produce A2 milk such as Guernsey, dexter, milking devon, etc.

I’m live in Ohio. I have access to A1 Raw Milk not to far from where I live. The A2/A2 Raw Milk is just too far from where I’m at. But I’m a have to figure out a way of getting my hands on some A2/A2. I’m a look into the place you suggested. Thanks. 👍🥛
My family and I get acne when we consume dairy. I wonder if A2 would be different?
A1 is the reason why major people in west are lactose intolerant and the milk must be processed or cow Injected with hormones
ew
I got cystic acne whenever I consumed dairy. A2 dairy, goat, sheep, water buffalo cause zero acne for me. It might be worth a try.
When I drink raw unpasteurized grass fed milk I get no acne but anything else I do. It’s just the crap they put in there
@@gains4alex769 where do you get that kind of milk? I can’t find it anywhere.
Just keep in mind...if you consume goats milk and or cheese frequently it cause folate deficiency (B9)
I have just switched over to Jersey and Guernsey milk, I love the super creamy taste. There are still mixed messages regarding the consumption of dairy milks and as I am very tolerant of just about any food out there, I am still putting milk in my golden milk (turmeric tea), regular black or red tea and coffee. I may have to start measuring my milk "allowance" out every day to make sure I am not overdoing it. To be fair there are far worse things that entered my diet and I am taking notes and rooting out all offending ingredients as I learn more. Thanks so much for this channel.
im loving goat milk, kefir and yogurt!
We have A2 uht milk here in Thailand (about 500 milking caws from Guernsey).
Though A2 milk is good, the A2 milk company in the US is not. The product is not organic, it is ultra homogenized (this is very bad for you) and ultra pasteurized for long shelf life. They give very cagey responses when asked about these things. I would much rather drink local organic milk from dairies that have majority A2 cows.
What about Raw milk? My sister has Jersery, Holstien, Herford and Dextor Cows. (Herford to breed the dairy cows with so when steers are born, they grow up to go to "freezer camp" aka: we eat them)The milk we get from them is NOT pasteurized. We make cheeses and yogurt from the milk also. The milk we drink is whole cream milk. We do separate the cream some times, but that milk is than used to make soap and not drank. I was just wondering if you had any thoughts on Raw Milk vs Pasteurized milk?
My mother in law drinks regular milk everyday with her banana. She’s 92.
I think that you are great, Dr. Berg! I am honestly not 100% sold on your views about keto (I have actually tried the diet and it did not feel a good fit for me), BUT.. I thoroughly enjoy all the information you share and how well-documented it is. Thank you for your work!
Any breed of cow can have A2A2 milk . They need to be tested to know for sure . Natural Way Cheese House in Clare Michigan makes nongmo A2A2 Cheese in several varieties.
A2 milk is based on genetics, not geolocation. A2 was first marketed and sold in New Zealand, when they discovered the genetics and found it could be given to children who were allergic to milk.
Wrong. Since ancient times the cows were A2. In the times of the industrial revolution when there was a larger demand for milk, breeders bred cows to produce offspring that produced more amount of milk with larger udders. This made the A1 form more widespread.
Jersey cows are somewhere near 60% however, many are practicing selective breeding to eliminate the A1 gene. Holstein cow milk (where most of all US milk come from) are the largest source of A1 milk. Many heritage milk cow such as Guernsey, Short Horn, etc., and buffalo and bison are also A2.
I'm seeing Internet articles that say that consuming A2 milk leads to insulin resistance and type 1 diabetes. Has Dr. Berg had his say on this subject?
Awesome videos!! I've been learning a lot of health and nutrition.
The New Zealand dairy industry is both grass fed and has a sector focus on moving to A2 genetics. Keith Woodford who wrote the book on A2 beta-casein benefits (Devil in the Milk: Illness, Health and Politics) reports that from 2024 born calves, over 85% will be the A2 variant. A2 milk is used exclusively, in New Zealand, in infant formulas. I have a copy of Keith's book and it gives a deep biochemical insight into why A1 beta-casein is so bad.
cows from bos indicus provide A2 milk, in the US, NORMANDE is one breed that produces A2 milk , Jersey cows produce A1 milk
I think lol I have never heard this before! Thanks Dr. Berg
Came here for the "mmmmOKaaay" I wasn't disappointed 7 in 2 mins. Thanks Doc
AWESOME INFO!! EVERY LITTLE BIT OF YOUR INFORMATION HELPS TO GUIDE US IN, OUT AND AROUND THE TROUBLE SPOTS IN OUR DIETS. SO IMPORTANT TO AVOID THE PITFALLS IN ORDER TO MAKE BETTER PROGRESS.
If you’re gonna do dairy, check with the seller/farmer. Any reliable source is going to have had the cow producing the milk genetically tested. It should be A2A2. To go one step further A2A2B1.
Keto is amazing I don’t feel hungry...one glass of water with Apple cider vinegar and coconut oil am good till 4pm amazing and that’s it
you need to eat more or you will crash and get severe metabolic damage in 6 months from now
Some days I do this, too! When I'm hungry, I eat. It's such an easy plan for finally looking at food as FUEL, so if I'm not even hungry for ONE meal, I look for nutrients and eat that... to fuel my body. Who knew? Always thought food was a social and emotional tool until keto. Ha.
Wow your body running like Perpetual motion device!
@@zestrus11 - that's the way our ancestors ate...IF they got to eat a meal every day. Necessity of eating 3 meals a day is poppycock.
Very good information, but is this milk better than organic Lactose Free milk? Both A2 and Lactose Free milk are good for digestion.
Only the indigenous cow breeds of India produce A2 milk which is much more nutritious.
Ashwin Thapa Guernsey cows from the English isle of Guernsey produce A2 milk.
I had testing done to find food allergies. My test results showed I have difficulties with the casein. Thank you for getting back with me with your reply.
The African cow also do that see the cow in youtube
I thought Jersey milk was A2 but reading the comment section i'm a bit confused. I search in google and i've found jersey milk was A2. For those who claim that's false , do you have any links ?? And is goat and sheep milk a2 only ? I used to buy raw milk from jersey cow because i thought it was a2 milk .... (I live in France.) Thank you.
@@Alicia-ei8fk nope jersey cow produce a1 milk...
Why don't you recommend consuming milk?
You wrote down “raw” but didn’t emphasis it in the discussion. Is raw milk better and is it safe?
TY, I DO FEEL BETTER with A2 milk & I’ll be getting A2 cheese, I like cheese.
My English is not good. Please can you just say milk is good or you just say milk is bad. Thank you you have helped me so much
Hello... could you give us your thoughts on Feta cheese in conjunction with keto?
dragonxx444 delicious 😊
Lil mee yeah i eat it every day here in Greece.... its about 40% fat in general and only made from sheep/goat milk. They have very strict guidelines on how its made so it can be called Feta Cheese
Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge. I find that you do it in a very clear and helpful way. Here where I live in southern France, we are able to get goat’s cheese locally. I remember you saying there was something that was particularly useful in goat cheese when on a keto diet. What Is in goats cheese that is good for our health?
PS, would you like me to translate and create voice-overs of your videos into French?
what about consuming 75% A2 and 25% A1 milk or kefir?
Ahhh! Cascadia Creamery! From Trout Lake, WA! It's a stunning place to visit, but most of WA is... we also have some fantastic creameries in Lynden, WA, if you can get ahold of any of their products. Super Yum, for those who can tolerate dairy.
I like Cascadian Farms organic granola; thanks for the tip on the Creamery.
Then again if you start consuming milk from the right protein then you will not have digestive issues
Everyone could tolerate dairy if they'd just ban those milk factory Holsteins.
That’s why I buy my ice cream from Brums , because they use a2 milk
I was no about A1 n A2 milk now i came to clearly.. Thank you dr berg
There is another company I know just like that one which is Snowville Creamery.
Which company is it? I’m in Ohio as well.
can you make a video explaining how long to wait between eating fats & proteins and carbs, and also mentioning which ones to start with first? Thanks.
Why do you recommend to not drink milk?
All the other milks out there have emulsifiers and create bloating too.
The ones that don't have it aren't fortified with anything and are super expensive.
Love most Dr. Berg videos..... this one included
I appreciate that and thanks for following!
Dr. Berg's Support Team
I haven't been able to eat cheese for forty years. It would be nice to find out this might be the cause. I've been able to consume pure cream and butter but not milk. I've never tried A2 but I'm about to now.
Thanks Dr. Berg. I saw the commercial on TV and did not know what they were talking about. I was buying organic grass fed milk at $5.50 a half gallon; the milk tasted better.
I will try A2 Milk now and look for those cheeses.
I rarely eat dairy and use coconut milk as a substitute.
Do they have A2 Butter? I buy Irish butter at the moment.
What do you think of using A2 milk to make Kefir?
A2 is from indigenous cows and a1 is from jersey. I think you will have to correct this. Or am i wrong?
Great Explanation!!! I have been in integrative health for decades and DID not know about the A1 Versus the A2 - "we" have known from the seventies that pasteurization binds up most that is good in all types of milk products - many who cannot take milk can often find they do well on raw, grass fed cow, goat and sheep milk - and raw cheeses. Another great video, Dr. Berg!
A1 milk is of Jersey cows !!
A2 milk is of the Indian cows !
Dr. Berg, correct this please ...
I thought Jersey milk was A2 but reading the comment section i'm a bit confused. I search in google and i've found jersey milk was A2. For those who claim that's false , do you have any links ?? And is goat and sheep milk a2 only ? I used to buy raw milk from jersey cow because i thought it was a2 milk .... (I live in France.) Thank you.
@@Alicia-ei8fk its a2
a2 cows are only availabe in jndia ... and its freaking healthy... a1 milk is nothing but poison.. unless its done in a organic
@@Tackledboss your statement is false
They, however, exclude the Jersey cow, which science says produces A2 milk, from their list of good milk.
I just wanted to learn about Yorha A2
Thank you Dr. Berg you answered my question!
I want to tell you my son and I have been on keto and IF since February 2018, 6 months already, we fill great!
My son has lost about 45 pounds, he is 14 y/o. We started doing 2 meals and now OMAD and rarely 2 meals. He was loosing weight but was always carting a belly so about 2 months ago he cut casein, just doing goat cheese and he started to shrink! We also cut lectins.
We started to try this after researching about milk and lectins and I connected the dots knowing that I never breastfed him but fed him with barley and milk formula.
So since he is 4y/o. He had petit mal.
To me make a lot of sense, his condition also his keratosis p. Shows something is bugging his gut.
We have achieved so much and I think we are going to make it.
We love our life style, love keto and IF.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, that is greatness.
Best for you and family.
And I will let you know when my son gets totally clean, healthy and beautiful gut.
Good info. Been wanting to try this dairy that sells A2. Could you do a video on extended fasting and what can be expected as the fast progresses from a three day to a five day to a seven day and up to a ten day fast. Such as autophagy, growth hormone and also angiogenisis concerning the type of health benefits that can happen to the body at those times. Thank you.
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT COLOSTRUM BENEFITS AND HOW YOU CAN GET MORE EFFECTIVE COLOSTRUM FROM ORGANIC MILK OR ANY WHOLE MILK?
I tried A2 Milk tonight and it seemed really sweet compared to some other bio organic milk with cream. I wandered if cows fed on wheat or grain have a higher sugar content due to the corbohydrates being digested in the cows gut? I haven't seeked out A2 milk thats organic yet so not sure about this! Its so sweet it put me off a bit. It says on the label its homogenised and pasteurized and has emzines in it and otherwise just normal milk.
I thank you for explaining I didn't know what it meant I learned from a group on gastroparesis thank you so much that helps me out a lot
Thanks a million for your message and lesson..
You're welcome!
How is the distinction made between A1 and A2 and A2 derived for use? Are cows bred for A2.
Thank you
Dear Dr. Berg, If I have no access to goat milk, is pure goat milk powder good for consumption 4-5 days a week? Vs. Regular fresh cow's milk? Thanks!!
Wow didnt know milk had A1 and A2 specification !
Thanks for that explanation. Can you explain what those additives to milk/whipping cream are? I know that carageenan is very inflammatory, but what is Glellan gum and disodium phosphate? Are they not good to consume? GOT to have cream in my coffee! I can only find one expensive organic brand that has none of these. But maybe they are not so bad? Thanks again for ALL the incredible advice you post for FREE here on UA-cam!
Cathy T the organic one I buy is just heavy cream and gellan gum. Gellan gum is a water-soluble anionic polysaccharide produced by the bacterium Sphingomonas elodea. I'm not sure if that's REALLY bad or not, (it's used as a thickening agent) but the whipping cream I buy is the best one I've found. Every other kind is filled with junk...So I go with Horizon Organic. I've read that gellan gum can alter the bacteria of the gut, but that's probably in large amounts. Gellan gum is used in tiny amounts, and therefore it's probably hard to consume enough to be a problem. But if you notice intestinal issues, you might be sensitive to it.
@Dexter Morgan. Don't think this is true, at least for me and others I know. I looked up carageenan, which is in many milks. It is very inflammatory.
Dexter Morgan incorrect...many whipping creams have additives like carageenan and polysorbate 80. It's hard to find whipping cream with only cream as the one ingredient.
how about milk powder?
I very much enjoy your videos. They are very informative and easy to understand.
Hold up! Not all Jersey cows produce A2A2- it’s about a 50/50 chance if I recall right. They must be tested. There is no cow that I know of that can be said to be an excessively A2 producing breed. I’ve been helping a friend with her cows for a few years and we always test. I’ve worked with Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire,Normandy and Brown Swiss cows. Any of those breeds has potential to test A2A2 but they also have potential to test A1A1 or A1A2. It’s only known through a test that is not very expensive and is a matter of plucking some tail hairs and sending them in. Jersey and Guernsey breeds have my favorite milk- rich, creamy and dreamy. Guernsey cows often have a yellow tint to their milk because they don’t absorb beta carotene and therefore put it into their milk.
Correction- I looked it up and read in the article, “Value-Added Cow Genetics: Taking a look at A2A2” by Tamara Scully, NODPA News that now it’s estimated that “approximately 80% of Guernsey cows” are A2A2, “85%” of Jerseys and Norwegian Reds (a breed with which I am not familiar) and Brown Swiss breeds are well above 50%.”
I think this is worth trying out.
Hello, Dr Berg. Your views on UHT milk vs fresh milk. I know you aren't a big dairy milk fan...
My boyfriend did a co-op on a dairy farm where they milk only cows from the breed holstien and over half the amount of milk producing cows produced A2 protein milk and the cows were DNA tested and indeed over half the cows were A2 protein and had 0% Jersey blood.
Which breed those A2 cows belongs ?
Dr.Eric Berg sir kindly tell me how I cure insulin resistance my fasting sugar level is over 125 and random level is under 180
Dr Berg had lots of videos on this 😊
Waqas Tahir thanks brother
Cissy Stanford thanks
Keto doesn’t work for everyone. Ive fasted for 22 days and my BG was still over 120. Get tested at Viome, you may have other needs not being met by keto. Your gut bacteria have needs
Also, make sure to get a high quality vitamin mineral supplement such as Dr Wallach's..
Do you recommend A2 homemade kefir milk? Better to avoid or drink it?
people need to understand that dairy in North American does not represent the entire dairy products world wide,,,very important to understand,,,,I consume milk has ethnic somali man we are raised on camel milk in horn of Africa and its very healthy and good for bone growth since we are so tall we get all our proteins from camel milk
What is better A2 Milk or Almond Milk?
Great info Doc - what are your comments on raw milk
Excellent information. Thanks
Dr Berg is awesome ☺THANK YOU!!!
why do you not like A2 milk thanks for the cheese infro
Waiting for my 2 Jersey cows to calf!! Yum fresh raw Jersey milk.
New Jersey has cow farms?
Homeschool Mama of 11 disgusting, not your mom, not your milk. 😉
Dr Berg, Can you please advise what type of milk will be good to give my 1 year old? Since, you don't advise drinking cows milk. I'm still breastfeeding her, but soon I will stop. I'm currently living in México and I recently found organic milk that supposedly is from grassfed cows. I'm not sure if that makes a difference? I hope you can answer my questions. Thank you
Hi hi Dr Berg ! Do you recommend herb and spice in keto cooking such as garlic ginger chillies？
The desi(country' own breed) cows of India gives the healthiest milk in the world. THANK YOU 🙏
