How Does Dairy Cause Inflammation? EXPLAINED

The video explores how dairy products, particularly those from Western cows, can cause inflammation in the human body. It explains the differences between Western and old world cows, focusing on the genetic mutation in Jersey cows that leads to the production of A1 beta casein. This protein, when digested, produces beta casomorphin 7, which triggers an immune response and inflammation. The video also contrasts this with A2 beta casein from old world cows, which does not produce the same inflammatory effects.

Which of the following is considered more inflammatory than dairy products?

• Sugar

• Vegetables

• Fruits

• Grains

What is a distinguishing feature of old world cows compared to Jersey cows?

• Different color

• Hump on the back

• Larger size

• Longer horns

What type of casein protein is predominantly produced by old world cows?

• A1 beta casein

• A2 beta casein

• B1 beta casein

• B2 beta casein

What type of genetic mutation occurred in Jersey cows affecting beta casein?

• Frameshift mutation

• Nonsense mutation

• Missense mutation

• Silent mutation

What amino acid is replaced by histidine in A1 beta casein due to mutation?

• Glycine

• Proline

• Valine

• Isoleucine

What is the name of the peptide produced from A1 beta casein that is linked to inflammation?

• Alpha lactalbumin

• Beta lactoglobulin

• Beta casomorphin 7

• Gamma globulin

Which protein is known to be involved in inflammation and is increased after consuming A1 beta casein?

• Myoglobin

• Hemoglobin

• C-reactive protein

• Albumin

What is the role of histamine in the immune response?

• Promotes digestion

• Reduces blood pressure

• Mediates inflammation

• Inhibits inflammation

What system is activated by antibodies binding to beta casomorphin 7?

• Complement system

• Digestive system

• Nervous system

• Endocrine system

What is the main difference in the immune response between A1 and A2 beta casein?

• A2 beta casein causes more inflammation

• A1 beta casein leads to beta casomorphin 7 production

• A2 beta casein triggers a stronger immune response

• A1 beta casein does not trigger an immune response
