Tag: Dairy inflammation

According to a 2019 systematic review in the *Journal of the American College of Nutrition*, dairy products often have a neutral-to-beneficial effect on inflammatory markers for most healthy adults. This conflicts with the common belief that all dairy is inflammatory, highlighting that pinpointing the "most inflammatory" dairy item is not straightforward and depends heavily on individual sensitivities and processing methods.

The debate surrounding A1 versus A2 milk has gained traction as more people report digestive issues after dairy consumption. This has led to the question: does A1 protein cause inflammation? Studies suggest that for some, the peptide released during the digestion of A1 protein, BCM-7, may be a contributing factor to gut inflammation.

While mainstream media often links dairy to inflammation, research suggests this isn't universally true; for most people, dairy is not pro-inflammatory. Instead, the question of what type of dairy causes inflammation depends heavily on individual sensitivities, the specific product, and the presence of underlying health conditions.
