As for ice cream, you might have to make your own with A2 milk or choose a non-dairy variety. Yes, I feel fortunate to have a cast-iron digestive system!

I believe A2 is better for me, hence my preference for a2milk. My heritage is Scots-Irish and Ukraine, as far as I know. Thanks for the research. I am glad you do not have a problem with any kind of milk. You are lucky. You would not want the agony I have gone through.

This stuff is fascinating to me! Here's what I learned:<br /><br />A1 and A2 are beta-caseine milk proteins. A1 and A2 milk is sourced from different breeds of cows. It is the difference in the genetic code of the cow on its 6th chromosome that causes the difference in the beta casein structure of the milk it produces.<br /><br />(All human milk is A2, so it is recognized by the body and properly digested - unlike A1 protein, which the body sees as a toxin and reacts to with digestive upset.)<br /><br />For most of history, scientists believe that cows produced only A2 milk. But around 5,000-10,000 years ago, a mutation in the beta casein gene seems to have given rise to the A1 allele.<br /><br />A1 milk comes mainly from cow breeds originating from Northern Europe. These cow breeds include Ayrshire, British Shorthorn, Holstein, and Fresian. What they all have in common is their milk which contains the A1 beta-casein protein. <br /><br />A2 milk comes mainly from Charolais, Guernsey, Jersey, and Limousin cow breeds.<br /><br />There is much discussion about whether A1 or A2 is better for human consumption. No definitive proof currently exists.<br /><br />I can tolerate any kind of milk, so I'm not an A2 customer. Personally, I think my A1 tolerance stems from my Northern European heritage, as so many generations of my ancestors drank A1 milk.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17806666755044240033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-27058015494979371172022-05-17T17:14:42.466-07:002022-05-17T17:14:42.466-07:00It was confusing and boring.

You may be able to find it on line, at your library or through your local PBS station. The story is good, the acting is above board and the costumes are beautiful. Watching the story of the Royal visit would leave one very confused. <br /><br />A couple of years ago my daughter, sister and I were able to visit a gallery showing of the actual costumes from the series. I enjoyed it very much.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024512934812657769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-75144748807535472682022-05-17T14:56:46.922-07:002022-05-17T14:56:46.922-07:00My Mother used to crave ice cream ...every time sh...My Mother used to crave ice cream ...every time she had one cone she would throw up.

I also am not allergic to milk. I know. It is complicated. As a baby and young child, I would not let meat come into my mouth. So, this has been going on all my life.
