U.K. dairy farmers are planning to market the controversial A2 milk, said to be better for the heart, and also claimed to help children with autism. A2 milk derives its name from the type of protein contained in the milk—most of the milk sold in the U.K. contains more A1, which some researchers have claimed could increase the risk of heart disease. Currently available in New Zealand and Australia, producers in the U.K. are preparing to offer milk, which does not contain the A1 proteins, according to a BBC report. Only a few herds in the U.K. produce the A2 milk but companies are expecting high demand…research showing the link between A1 milk and heart disease is so far preliminary but the issue has caused much debate in New Zealand. Some scientists believe that high rates of cardiovascular disease in certain regions of the U.K. could be connected to the type of milk produced in those areas.
