The 2 big reasons Miller's milk may be more digestible

Milk is sadly one of the most common food allergies in the US. It’s estimated that about 2.5% of children under 3 and 1-2% of adults are allergic to milk. Wow! 

Humans have been consuming milk for 6,000 years. Yet, the surge in milk allergies didn’t start until the past few decades. What’s going on?

In my opinion, the problem is not simply “milk”... because all milk is not created equal. I’ve said it before, it’s the HOW not the COW.

Miller’s strives to provide you the freshest, highest quality, most nutrient-dense A2 dairy. And that includes it being digestible

I can’t tell you how many people have emailed the farm saying, “I can drink milk again!” or “I can eat cheese again!” It makes customers so happy to add this staple food group back into their diet.

You might be asking, why? Here are the top 2 reasons why Miller’s milk may be more digestible than other milks.

1- Miller’s milk contains 100% A2 beta-casein protein.

A few thousand years ago, there was a genetic mutation in cows in Europe. This made them produce a new kind of protein --> A1 beta-casein protein. Those cows made their way to the United States, and cows in Asia were unaffected.

Many people, especially those of Asian descent, are intolerant to the A1 beta-casein protein. It may give them an upset stomach or lead to a laundry list of other chronic issues including type-1 diabetes, heart disease, SIDS, autism, schizophrenia, and gastrointestinal problems.

I won’t get deep into the science, but research shows a link between the BCM7 opioid peptide, which is created when the A1 beta-casein protein is broken down in the body, and people’s inability to digest A1 or A1/A2 milk.

All of the dairy cows at Miller’s Bio Farm are genetically tested via a hair sample. We are 100% certain the milk is 100% A2.

2 - Miller’s milk is raw and contains lactase enzymes.

Lactase is an enzyme that your body needs to break down lactose, milk sugar. Raw unprocessed milk naturally contains lactase. Pasteurized milk denatures (or kills) this enzyme. 

All babies produce lots of lactase in their small intestines (no pun intended). As you get older, you naturally produce less lactase. And, those who are truly clinically-diagnosed as lactose-intolerant, produce very little or no lactase at all.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that milk in its raw form contains what you need to digest it - lactase! Moreover, it seems that consuming raw milk can jumpstart your gut into producing lactase again.

Is dairy part of your diet? If no, why not? If yes, did you ever have trouble digesting dairy before switching to raw A2? 

I’d love to hear your story.

Egg yolk changes. We were greenwashed and are furious! Here's the scoop.

If you've followed our blog for some time, then you know that I do a good amount of muckraking on the food industry - conventional, organic, or otherwise. But, this week, I need to rake the muck on us (more specifically on our corn & soy free eggs)! Here's the scoop and everything you need to know about us formulating a new feed with a trusted source.

The lengths us natural foodies go through for healthy indulgences.

Just because you eat "healthy", doesn't mean that your food tastes bad (in fact, I find that it's quite the opposite with real nutrient-dense ingredients). And, just because you eat "healthy" doesn't mean that you don't indulge once in a while. You with me?I mean, I can't be the only crazy one out there that spends many joyous hours in the kitchen making much healthier versions of well-know brand name snacks for my kids. This week I made Mallomars. I recently took up donut making. And, in the past I've experimented with homemade Oreos, Cheez-Its, chocolate truffles, potato chips, and so much more. When my kids eat them and report that they're better than the storebought stuff they're had at parties and friends' houses... I mean... there's really no better compliment 🤭I know these foods aren't "healthy". But, by having ultimate control over my ingredients, I can make sure to use grass-fed A2/A2 dairy, einkorn or spelt flour, good saturated fats like butter or ghee or lard, and natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. And plus, no crazy additives or preservatives or flavors or colors, too. This week I have an easy healthy indulgence for you... that doesn't require hours in the kitchen.A few weeks ago, a local bee farmer stopped by the farm. He gave us samples of his amazingly delicious creamed honey. My mind automatically said, "Yes!!!" Finally, a quick and healthy treat for my family.*In case you didn't know, creamed honey is honey that's vigorously whipped until it's creamy and white. And then, you can flavor it however you'd like.I'm happy to introduce to you 2 NEW RAW CREAMED HONEYS: Cinnamon Raw Creamed Honey: A delicious alternative to jam. Goes well on any crackers, bread, pancakes, and even on mashed sweet potatoes!

Think drizzled on muffins, scones, pancakes…and of course, like all our honey, just by itself for a sweet little dessert. It can also be used as a glaze on meats or to sweeten your yogurt or oats. These honeys are 100% up to our standards. They're raw and unfiltered, GMO and pesticide free, never fed corn syrup, and all that good stuff. Do you have any healthy indulgences?
