Product Description
This groundbreaking work is the first internationally published book to examine the link between a protein in the milk we drink and a range of serious illnesses, including heart disease, Type 1 diabetes, autism, and schizophrenia.
These health problems are linked to a tiny protein fragment that is formed when we digest A1 beta-casein, a milk protein produced by many cows in the United States and northern European countries. Milk that contains A1 beta-casein is commonly known as A1 milk; milk that does not is called A2. All milk was once A2, until a genetic mutation occurred some thousands of years ago in some European cattle. A2 milk remains high in herds in much of Asia, Africa, and parts of Southern Europe. A1 milk is common in the United States, New Zealand, Australia, and Europe.
In Devil in the Milk, Keith Woodford brings together the evidence published in more than 100 scientific papers. He examines the populace studies that look at the link between consumption of A1 milk and the incidence of heart disease and Type 1 diabetes; he clarifies the science that underpins the A1/A2 hypothesis; and he examines the research undertaken with animals and humans. The evidence is compelling: We should be switching to A2 milk.
A2 milk from selected cows is now marketed in parts of the U.S., and it is possible to convert a herd of cows producing A1 milk to cows producing A2 milk.
This is an incredible tale, one that is not just about the health issues surrounding A1 milk, but also about how scientific evidence can be molded and withheld by vested interests, and how consumer choices are influenced by the interests of corporate business.

The link between a protein in the milk we drink and a range of serious illnesses from autism to schizophrenia make an vital case hostile to milk for any health library. Evidence published in more than 100 scientific papers comes together below one cover in a title considering links between milk consumption and the incidence of Type 1 diabetes and other ailments. A compelling, frightening survey.

Those comments were done after my second reading of “Devil in the Milk” of Keith Woodford:
Is a celestial read, despite the title.
If i was given the opportunity to rename it , it would be: “Shortcut to Milk Wisdom”.
Because it makes clear the choices that we have. “I need to buy this, wont buy that anymore”, that what i though shortly after.
Is a rarity that a book can do that: exchange the views of a food group, quick and forever.
The book is thick, took me several days to read. Even took me several days to re-read, to see if i did not missed any fine print (& to better re-fit the parts, knowing the whole).
The book provides a balanced read, a lot of details and covers all the basics to make better choices. Is not a “bible”, but is stands on his own. I find the author position careful and even naif at times (when dealing will Fonterra and his mercenaries). But he learned
Is not a closed book, as the author provides a number of sites to the interested reader to dig deeper, according to his/her own interests.
Even the huge scientific bibliography is able to keep professionals busy for years.
References are also given at several points of the book, so more inquisitive minds can check the research done.
As seen in the postscript by the author, this is a very actual theme, that took him 3 years to write, yet is still changing.
Quality research is needed, and the author points examples of experiments that needs to be done to make milk science go on.
The diary industry is more interest in burying this theme, to keep milk sells going undisturbed.
So, they want to cut money for A2 research, giving it instead to cholesterol, despite A1 milk in tests done, may possibly yield more hurt than cholesterol.
…………………………………..
The author points that if consumers want A2 milk that have to stand up, and shout and push and pull and beg and demand (my words). Or else… nothing changes.
So, i add my small effort to his, and thus my review.
We need A2 milk, better milk labeling, more research for A2 milk, more truth in showing the research done. Clearly we cant trust the diary industry or their mercenaries scientists (my words).
…………………………………..
The book is worth buying, in fact may possibly even be your best buy in years. A book that changes your view of the milk/yogurt/cheese choices, for the better, once and forever.
People that SHOULD NOT read this book:
a) people that buy the cheapest foods/drinks. Those who buy based on taste & those who buy based on $. Those people are helpless, fantastic candidates for McDonalds and transgenic foods (OGM foods). RIP.
b) people that cannot reckon by themselves & rely on “food pyramids” or “FDA” for advice.
Or Mr & Mrs Conservative, that follow the “system” and like broadcast relations speeches/propaganda.
…………………………………..
People that CAN USE THIS BOOK (place it in do):
A) People that want the best milk & want to know “why” is the best milk;
B) People that make their own yogurts or their own cheeses (Gottschall SCD users);
C) People that eat cheeses; or casein in sport drinks; or milk powders;
D) People that eat products that have diary as part of its content;
E) People that have digestive problems, leaking gut, ulcers, Crohn, colitis, IBD, allergies, etc;
F) people (or parents that have family with): mental problems (in general); autism; schizophrenia; parkinson, allergies, etc;
G) Couples that are thought of having babies;
H) Mothers that are breast feeding:
I) Couples with small kids;
J) People that avoid all diary, but have people who they like that eat them. Offer them this book. Break the chain of ignorance.

The health issues nearly milk are vital as milk is widely consumed. Despite that the diary industry/food authorities makes propaganda saying all milk, heavily processed is beyond suspicious…
Really?
No, is not. A huge part of the book is separating the many heavy system lies from shy truths.
The book tells the tale of Corran McLachlan, Howard Paterson, the A2 corporation and the author himself, fighting hostile to the diary golias (Fonterra and alikes) that want to keep the dark on this issues.
So, do your part, don’t let this vital in rank get lost among FDA or Fonterra propaganda.
Search for A2 products. Eat them in reasonable amounts and avoid the A1 products. Is simple. If you are adventurous question your milk company what they do with the milk.
Do you know what they will answer?
They said to me: “Is not of your business”.
So i choose A2 milk products, the least processed i can find. I don’t need huge milk companies A1 lousy products.
I would like also to make my own goat yogurt, Gottschall-style, but at the moment cant find full stout goat milk.
Still if the world does not end first, i have hopes one day i have a few goats and can have a quality product.
So, until then i plot to learn more about yogurt making (how to reduce lactose, how to measure lactose, etc).
…………………………………..
The author mentioned some info about pasteurization and heart disease that i reckon are vital and i will try to find more info about that.
Thanks Mr. Keith Woodford, for your many efforts in bringing us the A2 milk truth.
5/5 stars.
