New research reaffirms role of A2 protein in lactose intolerance

Dr Anton Emmanuel, a consultant gastroenterologist at University College Hospital in London, said: “This is the largest human trial to date examining the differences between the impact of the A1 and A2 protein. It suggests that proteins found in dairy can have a significant impact on digestion, and that lactose may not be the only cause of gastrointestinal issues in those with an intolerance – around 60% of the world’s population.

“Given that the underlying biochemistry and symptoms of lactose intolerance are identical in Asian and Caucasian/British populations, these results are highly significant to both regions.”
