You love the taste of fresh, local milk. You want the calcium, the Vitamin D, and that creamy texture in your morning coffee or cereal. But for many, that simple pleasure comes with a price: bloating, gas, and general discomfort.
For years, we’ve been told that these issues are caused by lactose intolerance. In fact, over 30% of Americans are considered milk intolerant. But what if the problem isn’t the sugar in the milk, but a single damaged protein?
Most milk on the grocery store shelf today contains A1 beta-casein. This protein is the result of a genetic mutation in dairy herds that occurred centuries ago. When your body digests A1 milk, it releases a peptide called BCM-7. This peptide has been linked to:
You shouldn’t have to give up dairy just because the industry shifted toward over-processed, A1-heavy production.
At Sweet Acres Creamery, we believe cow’s milk can and should be good for you. We’ve gone back to the source to bring you the “original” milk—the way it was meant to be.
By using genetic testing, our local Finger Lakes farmers have built herds of cows that naturally produce only the A2 protein. Because A2 milk lacks the A1 beta-casein, it does not release the BCM-7 peptide during digestion.
Easier to Digest: Many people who believe they are lactose intolerant find they can enjoy our A2 milk without the usual discomfort.
Less Inflammatory: Studies show that switching to A2 milk can reduce markers of intestinal inflammation.
Highly Nutritious: You get the same 9g of protein, 30% daily value of calcium, and essential Vitamin D found in regular milk, but in a form your body actually welcomes.
Reported fewer gastrointestinal symptoms (bloating, gas, abdominal pain) compared to A1 milk.
Reduced markers of gut inflammation and lower myeloperoxidase activity compared to A1 milk.
Consumption of milk with only A2 beta-casein has been shown to significantly increase plasma glutathione levels, a vital antioxidant.
Some studies in children have shown improved cognitive performance after switching from conventional milk to A2 milk.
