Does anyone have any speculations on a plausible mechanism by which milk from

good soil is more digestible and less allergenic than milk from poor soil.

(assumed bovine intermediate).

If there is some alteration on the type, proportion, or characteristics of

proteins, whether the potential substrates of enzymes or the concentrations of

corresponding enzymes, could this perhaps also be the case with grains and

other foods?

That's what I was wondering, which is why I asked if glutenin is as

problematic as gluten. So far I've heard from two people who seem to digest

high brix milk better than low brix. Although I won't know for sure until

Weds, when I test one of the milk sources in question. From the description,

I'm assuming it's higher brix, which would generally indicate higher soil

fertility (although not as directly as produce brix).
