Casein is the largest group of proteins in milk, making up about 80% of total protein content. Beta-casein is the second most common type.

The two most common forms are A1 beta-casein and A2 beta-casein:

• Milk from **foreign breeds** (Jersey and Holstein Friesian) contain **A1 protein**.
• Milk from **Indian cow breeds** contain **A2 protein**. Happy Cows Milk is A2 milk.

The presence of an amino acid called **BCM 7** makes A1 milk potentially harmful for consumption. Few reported effects include:

• Type-1 diabetes
• Cardiovascular disease (IHD)
• Delayed psychomotor development among children, autism, schizophrenia, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
• Auto-immune diseases, intolerances and allergies.
• Higher risk for those with digestive disorders like stomach ulcers, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, Celiac disease, or those on long-term medication/antibiotic treatment.

Foreign Breed Cows (Jersey and Holstein Friesian - A1):

• Milk contains a poisonous chemical called Casomorphine.
• Lesser and smaller sweat glands, not suitable for tropical climates like India.
• Higher maintenance cost and more prone to diseases.
• Give A1 type of milk and carry more pathogens.
• Lazy in nature and not suitable for hard work.

Indigenous Indian Cow Breeds (A2):

• Intelligent and prefer clean areas, avoiding diseases.
• Maintenance cost is less; they eat limited fodder and respond to local Indian medicines.
• Can survive food shortages and rarely suffer from long-term diseases.
