Not all milk has the bioactive BCM-7 peptide related to problems digesting milk and autism/ADHD/diabetes conditions. Goat milk and some cow's milk do not.

Early use of cow's milk has a high correlation to casein related effects seen in

autism and child diabetes.    www.flcv.com/diabetes.html

In vitro the bioactive peptide beta-casomorphin 7 ( BCM -7) is yielded by the

successive gastrointestinal proteolytic digestion of bovine beta-casein variants

A1 and B, but this was not seen in variant A2 (4).      In hydrolysed milk

with variant A1 of beta-casein, BCM -7 level is 4-fold higher than in A2 milk.

  C onsumption of the beta-casein A1 variant had a strong correlation to

diabetes incidence (r = +0.726). Even more pronounced was the relation between

beta-casein (A1+ consumption and diabetes (r = +0.982).(4a) These latter two

cow caseins yield a bioactive peptide beta-casomorphin-7 after in vitro

digestion with intestinal enzymes whereas the common A2 variant or the

corresponding human or goat caseins do not.    Mercury and toxic metals have

been found to disable the enzymatic process required to digest casein(9).

 

  A1 is the most frequent in Holstein-Friesian (0.310–0.660), Ayrshire

(0.432–0.720) and Red (0.710) cattle(4b). In contrast, a high frequency of A2

is observed in Guernsey (0.880–0.970) and Jersey (0.490–0.721) cattle. BCM

-7 may play a role in the aetiology of human diseases. Epidemiological evidence

from New Zealand claims that consumption of beta-casein A1 is associated with

higher national mortality rates from ischaemic heart disease. It seems that the

populations that consume milk containing high levels of beta-casein A2 have a

lower incidence of cardiovascular disease and type 1 diabetes. BCM -7 has also

been suggested as a possible cause of sudden infant death syndrome. In addition,

neurological disorders, such as autism and schizophrenia, apprear to be

associated with milk consumption and a higher level of BCM -7(4b)
