New Australian research suggests that consuming A1 milk can adversely affect the gastrointestinal tract compared with A2 milk.

Forty-one men and women were recruited into the double-blind, randomised cross-over study run by Curtin University in Perth over eight weeks.

For two weeks, participants underwent a ‘washout’ where they cut out dairy from their diets.

This was followed by two weeks of drinking 750mL milk per day that contained either pure A1-type or pure A2-type beta-casein milk. After a second washout, participants switched to the alternative milk for a final two weeks.
