Thank you Brooks, I don't really know the detail of the lab studies done, and although there were studies comparing whey protein with casein and soy proteins I have no idea whether the source of the milk based proteins were pasteurised or not. However, the statistical studies are as you say, compelling, and taking into consideration the points you raise I guess the best conclusion one can derive is, that if one obtains their milk based intake from pasteurised sources, then avoiding those that contain A1 protein would be wise, and this may mean avoiding milk products altogether in many cases.
My main interest in these studies and statistics, and the main reason I brought it to the list, was because of the almost perfect link between heart disease and the consumption of milk containing A1 proteins, not only between countries with completely different diets, but also across regions with very similar diets. The consumption of saturated fats and cholesterol seems to play no part in the rate of heart disease if these studies are correct, and validates the opinion of various researchers of fats and oils. This puts much of the medical establishment opinion to the test, and may eventually lead to a reassignment of the health dollar to more productive areas...and in my view that is very important news. I hold the view that the replacement of saturated fats with unsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats, has led to many chronic health problems.
