Tag: American milk

Most American dairy cows produce milk with a mixture of A1 and A2 beta-casein proteins, while A2 milk comes exclusively from cows producing only the A2 protein. This distinction, though small, can be a major factor in digestive comfort for many people.

According to Dairy Farmers of Canada, all milk produced and sold in Canada is legally free of artificial growth hormones. This contrasts with the United States, where synthetic bovine growth hormones are permitted. This fundamental difference is just one factor in the complex question of which milk is better, Canadian or American?

An estimated 96% of milk produced in the EU is cow's milk, but processing and regulations mean it's not the same as the milk found in the United States. Multiple factors contribute to why American milk is different from other countries, including the use of growth hormones, pasteurization techniques, and variations in cow diets.
