My husband and I have been looking for Raw Milk for a good year now. It is against the law to sell it. That is so upsetting that I would have to break the law to feed my family a healthy milk. So if anyone has the raw unpasteurized milk for sale….let me know.

It absolutely contributes to lactose intolerance, in my personal experience. Humans aren’t able to digest the A1 protein which builds up the lactose sugars, something like that. I don’t understand all the science but I do know that I have been lactose intolerant all my life, like most of Cherokee or Native American descent esp. when mixed with a sensitive Irish stomach, and I can drink A2 milk. I’m drinking it right now as a matter of fact.
But I would only recommend raw, because of the enzyme factor.

Wonder if this A1 milk contributes to lactose intolerance in humans. I can’t drink cow’s milk because of this, and even yogurt is something that I can’t take too much of, and I really love yogurt. *Sigh*

Right you are, sir. Any breed of cattle could be bred to A2. Holsteins just usually aren’t grass-fed producers breed of choice. But the breed could be improved upon and has the potential to be the excellent breed of cattle that they once were.
Thanks for your input,

Of course even Holsteins can be bred to be fully A2. See The Bovine’s review of Keith Woodford’s book: http://thebovine.wordpress.com/2009/05/05/dairy-science-as-if-people-mattered-devil-in-the-milk-the-a1-a2-factor/
