Milk Has Bad Stuff
Yea, I know, it's insulinogenic. I'll just point out that Type I diabetics aren't typically only very lean because of a a lack of ability to store fat. Insulin matters.
And casein protein promotes cancer cell growth while whey seems to do the opposite. Ever stop to think that isolation and concentration might be a problem, in itself? Maybe both ways?
And allergies. Being lifelong sensitive to various pollens—especially grass pollen (scratch tests, so I know)—I find the notion a bit perplexing. See, there happens to be grass everywhere, including my own backyard. Does that mean isolation for me, because I'm allergic? It does mean I don't roll around in it shirtless. Seriously, when I hear "I'm allergic," I laugh. What does that mean? Anaphylactic shock leading to cardiac arrest, or you get a little itchy bump? Both fall under the category. ...And don't even get me started about how people—particularly women (you know I'm right)—use "oh, I'm allergic," as euphemism for "I think your dish looks like crap and don't even insist I take 'just a taste.'"
Moving on, I took at this milk thing as I take all things Real Food and Paleoish (from a human evolutionary standpoint). Get this into heads: Paleo is not about what cavemen ate, how they moved, slept, fucked, raised their children...or did without Breaking Bad on cable. It's about what we evolved to eat, beginning with the basics and moving out from there. Dairy in all its forms, as a mammalian first essential beverage, is likely the very first logical choice.
Now that it's under question, I'll turn from criticizing the case against it in this part, to making the case for it in PART II, tomorrow. Part of this is my speculation that this and other forms of very high nutrition, raise things to think about in terms of the drug industry from the perspective of someone who sees the drug industry as a nice little baby, but in some very dirty filthy bathwater.
More tomorrow.z
Update: I neglected to address the A1 vs. A2 issue with milk. Here's a study.
This review outlines a hypothesis that A1 one of the common variants of beta-casein, a major protein in cows milk could facilitate the immunological processes that lead to type I diabetes (DM-I). It was subsequently suggested that A1 beta-casein may also be a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), based on between-country correlations of CHD mortality with estimated national consumption of A1 beta-casein in a selected number of developed countries. A company, A2 Corporation was set up in New Zealand in the late 1990s to test cows and market milk in several countries with only the A2 variant of beta-casein, which appeared not to have the disadvantages of A1 beta-casein. The second part of this review is a critique of the A1/A2 hypothesis. For both DM-I and CHD, the between-country correlation method is shown to be unreliable and negated by recalculation with more countries and by prospective studies in individuals. The animal experiments with diabetes-prone rodents that supported the hypothesis about diabetes were not confirmed by larger, better standardised multicentre experiments. The single animal experiment supporting an A1 beta-casein and CHD link was small, short, in an unsuitable animal model and had other design weaknesses. The A1/A2 milk hypothesis was ingenious. If the scientific evidence had worked out it would have required huge adjustments in the world's dairy industries. This review concludes, however, that there is no convincing or even probable evidence that the A1 beta-casein of cow milk has any adverse effect in humans. This review has been independent of examination of evidence related to A1 and A2 milk by the Australian and New Zealand food standard and food safety authorities, which have not published the evidence they have examined and the analysis of it. They stated in 2003 that no relationship has been established between A1 or A2 milk and diabetes, CHD or other diseases.
Now here's Mat "The Kraken" Lalonde, PhD, on someone's Facebook thread a while back.
The whole A2 versus A1 milk issue was a fabrication by New Zealand farmers who wanted to sell more milk fro their A2 producing cows. Anyone with basic chemistry and biochemistry knowledge can cut through the arguments that were provided by the A2 side. The original studies were in vitro and did not use the full spectrum of enzymes that human beings possess for digestion. Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV and Prolyl Endopeptidase have the ability to shred BCM7 to pieces.

And...
The effects of BMC7 are only manifested when the molecule is injected into human beings or lab animals. They do not manifest when the molecule is ingested. BMC7 is not detected in the guts of human beings when A1 milk is ingested. That is because of what I've mentioned earlier. The in vitro tests originally used to detect and isolate BMC7 did not have the full spectrum of human digestive enzymes. Human beings are fully capable of digesting BMC7. It is true that BMC7 is problematic when isolated from incomplete in vitro digestion and injected into human beings. However, there are no detrimental effects noted when A1 milk or BMC7 is ingested because human beings digest BMC7. Now if your view is that milk is unhealthy, fine. Just don't use BMC7 to justify your position. Milk is calorically dense and not very satiating (liquids do not cause a whole lot of stomach distension), as such, it is easily over consumed. This can lead to weight gain excess calcium and other problems. Add lactose and casein intolerance to the mix and you have plenty of legitimate reasons to avoid dairy. BMC7 is not one of them, however.
