 Of that protein, 80 percent is casein (another type of protein) and the remaining 20 percent is whey. When cheese is made, it uses the casein molecules, leaving whey. Whey protein is made by filtering off the other components of whey such as lactose, fats, and minerals. Whey protein is easier to digest and is better tolerated than casein. Even those who are dairy intolerant usually have no difficulties with a high-quality whey protein isolate or concentrate.
Whey protein has the highest biological value of all proteins. |

 It is used as a texturizer in ice cream, ice milk, sherbet, and frozen custard. casein is a nutritive protein source in many "protein" powders. Calcium caseinate is probably the most useful here. Caseinates are also used as binders or extenders in some lunchmeats and soups and as a clarifying agent in wine. casein is essentially nontoxic and is on the GRAS list. However, many people are allergic to milk and specifically to the casein molecule. Those people should avoid foods with added caseinates.

 You see the word "casein," "sodium caseinate," "calcium caseinate" -- that's the milk powder protein that you don't want in your body. When you take milk and you get rid of the fat and you get rid of the water and you're just left with protein, and basically they're blood proteins, serumalbumin, milk protein, 90% of it is casein. Now, casein, when it's extracted from milk, it's actually a glue used to put a label on a bottle of beer. It's the glue used to hold together the wood in your furniture. |

 In individuals with an intolerance to casein in milk (and casein or casein derivatives in prepared food products), the immune system produces antibodies to attack the invading casein molecules.
In the past, caseinate has been added to some products while appearing on the label only as hydrolyzed protein or hydrolyzed animal protein. James E. Gern and Hugh A. |

 That "something" may be the dairy protein, or casein. Like all proteins, casein's molecular structure is very much like a long string of beads, with each bead being an amino acid. Normally, when proteins are digested, these amino acids come apart one by one and are absorbed into the bloodstream to be used to build body tissues and repair any damage to your body.
Casein behaves differently. As it breaks apart, it does not simply release individual amino acids. It breaks into short strings of amino acids—strings of perhaps four, five, or seven "beads. |

 One theory is that two milk proteins, casein and whey, represent the ideal combination of fast and slow proteins. I bet you didn't know protein could be fast or slow, did you? Eighty percent of the protein in milk is casein, which is a "slow" protein because it leaves the stomach slowly. The other 20 percent comes from whey, which is "fast" because it stays soluble in the acidic stomach and rapidly empties into the small intestine. |

| The main treatment for gluten or casein intolerance has been to remove offending foods from a person's diet, also known as the gluten-free casein-free (GFCF) diet. In the short term, this is effective because a person is removing the proteins that caused the problem, which will reduce inflammation and allow the villi to heal over time. But removing the food does not provide an ultimate solution. If those foods are consumed again, even accidentally, the problems will recur.

| Common ones include milk solids, whey, casein (and various casein derivatives, such as sodium caseinate), egg products, and gelatin. Also be on the lookout for partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are as bad as saturated fat.
Sometimes people want to make exceptions for foods that sound as if they are healthful. Honey, for example, has gotten unjustified good press over the decades. Nutritionally speaking, honey is simply sugar, offering you nothing from a health standpoint. Rather like olive oil, its marketing has gotten way ahead of its value.

| Other sources of "hidden" MSG include hydrolyzed milk proteins, which may be labeled "sodium caseinate," "calcium caseinate," or "casein." Hydrolyzed casein (milk) protein may be offensive to vegetarians because it contains hidden milk protein, which is also a potentially lethal allergen. Other label items to be wary of are "natural flavor" and "kombu extract." These additives are often found in frozen dairy products, like ice cream and yogurt, as well as in hot chocolate mixes, breads, and processed meats.

 Most of the calcium contained in cow's milk is bound by the milk chemical casein, which makes it far too crude for proper absorption by the human intestinal membranes. Cow's milk contains 300 times more casein than human milk. You can get more absorbable calcium out of 6-8 almonds or a teaspoon of molasses than you can get from one liter of cow's milk.
• There is quantitatively more phosphorus in cow's milk than there is calcium. To metabolize that much phosphorus, the body requires extra amounts of calcium, which it extracts from the bones, teeth and muscles. |

 They found one protein that consistently and strongly promoted cancer—casein in cow's milk. casein is 87 percent of the proteins in dairy, and it promotes all stages of the cancer process.
What were the safe proteins? Those from plant sources. In fact, their research found that the people who ate the most plant-based foods were the healthiest and tended to avoid chronic disease. |

 Eliminating casein (milk protein) from the diet can help. Opt for a soy- or rice-based alternative.
Topical creams: To treat irritant or contact dermatitis, zinc oxide can be applied to protect the skin, as can Desitin or A and D ointment. Sometimes a low-potency hydrocortisone cream can be used if the above combination does not work.
Antibiotics: If a bacterial infection is diagnosed by the doctor, topical antibiotics such as mupirocin is applied as an ointment. Cases resistant to topical antibiotics are treated with oral erythromycin or penicillin. |

| Look for cold filtered and ion exchanged on the label, which indicates that the processing has removed lactose (milk sugar) and casein (a highly allergenic protein found in milk). This process breaks down the whey, making it more absorbable.
Next Nutrition as well as Jarrow each make excellent whey products. Only approximately 2% of the people who have dairy allergies are allergic to whey protein.
Whey protein powder can be easily added to a smoothie.
What to do: Mix one scoop of protein powder (typically 20 g of protein) with 8 ounces of water, milk or juice and ice in a blender. |

| This is largely due to intolerances to lactose and casein, which can lead to problems with absorption. Unsweetened yogurt is the exception.
Supplements: Calcium has been shown to be effective in helping to build bone mass. For optimum nutrition, the recommended calcium intake is between 1,000-1,500 mg per day, depending on your age, dietary intake, and other health conditions. Use the forms that most easily absorbed by the body, such as calcium citrate, malate, chelate, or hydroxyappatite. |

 Klurfeld and Kritchevsky fed hamsters a diet containing either soy protein or casein, a dairy protein. Fully fifty-eight percent of the animals eating casein had gallstones compared with only fourteen percent eating soy protein. Moreover, in a follow-up experiment, one third of the casein eaters were sacrificed after forty days; half had gallstones. Of the remaining two thirds, the investigators switched half to soy protein. It turned out that fifty-eight percent of the group kept full-time on casein had gallstones, compared with only thirty-two percent switched to the soybean diet. |

 Most who have "dairy protein allergies" often have sensitivity to the larger protein in milk called casein and are not usually allergic to whey protein.
A Serving of Food Lore...
For centuries, dairy farmers either sold whey or gave it away for use as feed or fertilizer. Now whey protein is revered and is one of the most popular foods around because of its multiple health benefits.

 Thirty-two percent of the zinc in cow's milk is bound to casein and the majority of the remaining zinc (63 percent) is bound to colloidal calcium phosphate, reducing bioavailability. Zinc bioavailability is even lower in soy-based formulas. Breast milk has excellent bioavailability of zinc, although zinc content falls off after the first six months of breastfeeding.

 The bone density of ovariectomized rats for which soy replaced casein in the diet was compared to another group that received estrogen. The addition of soy inhibited bone loss, although not to the same extent as was achieved with estrogen treatment.45 Another study of ovariectomized rats also reported a positive effect of the soy phytoestrogen genistein in maintaining bone.46 These authors also reported that genistein suppresses the bone resorption cells (osteoclasts) both in the test tube and in vivo. |
