http://blogs.laweekly.com/squidink/2012/10/scientists_create_frankencows.php They have created a cow that doesn't create the milk protein that kids have a problem with. The goal is a hypoallergenic formula for our special kids! I think this is great (and a little scary)!
-
That's very frightening!! I'm not sure how I feel about that....
-
I read somewhere that normal cow milk that is raw (unpasturized) typically doesn't have the lactose that causes issues. Many people are drinking raw milk now!
-
That freaks me out a little. I dont let Liv drink any milk at all. Im so grossed out by milk, esp since breastfeeding lol.
-
@Thehistoryofus: lactose is the problem for adults but it is the milk protein that hurts our LOs.
Though I have heard of raw milk success for some milk protein issues as well.
-
@Thehistoryofus: Pasteurization changes all of the components of milk so the protein, what most lo's can't have, are changed as well. I've also heard that raw milk usually doesn't cause the same problems.
@brownie: That scares the crap out of me! We're transitioning to hemp & goats milk, but if we weren't I still don't think I could buy into something modified like that. There has to be long-term, currently unseen, consequences of that... given it'll be 20-30 years before we know I won't be buying any. lol
-
And I'm sure in 10 years they will come back and say how unsafe this modified milk is for consumption
-
I agree, they will probably eventually come out with a study that says the milk is harmful to humans.
