"Caseinates—sodium, potassium, calcium, and ammonium. casein is one of two major proteins in cow's milk (lactalbumin is the other). 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." - Elson M. Haas, M.D., Staying Healthy with Nutrition: The Complete Guide to Diet and Nutritional Medicine (Get the book.)

"Dairy products can be casein, caseinates, cheese, cream sauce, alfredo, etc. When in doubt, don't eat it! When eating out, you may want to call ahead and speak to the manager. If you call ahead to book a reservation, be sure the staff is aware of your sensitivities. Be specific with your questions. Do not ask "Does this contain cow milk?" but "Does this contain milk, yogurt, cheese, casein or caseinates?" It is best to order plain food rather than those with sauces or stuffing. Plain food is easier and, if you like, you can add a garnish to it such as baked potato, rice or broiled meats." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"People seem to have a hard time digesting casein. When casein is not properly digested, it gets into your blood and the immune system reacts accordingly. Interestingly, the casein in goat's and sheep's milk seems easier to digest for many of these same people. As I said earlier, although whey protein is derived from cow's milk, it is very unusual to have problems digesting it. Even if we can metabolize cow's milk and have no sensitivity to it, the process of pasteurization takes out much of what is good for us in it." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"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. Cellulose derivatives—carboxymethylcellu-lose, cellulose gum, methyl cellulose, and others." - Elson M.

"To do a milk challenge test, eliminate the following foods for five days: all milk products, dried, evaporated and skimmed milk, butter, calcium caseinate, casein, caseinates, cheese of any kind, cream, creamy sauces and soups, curds, dried milk solids, lactose, lactoalbumin, margarine (some may contain milk products), mayonnaise (some may contain milk products), puddings, whey and yogurt. Packaged foods such as muffin, pancake and cake mixes may contain dried milk." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "To do a milk challenge test, eliminate the following foods for three weeks: all milk products, dried, evaporated and skimmed milk, butter, calcium caseinate, casein, caseinates, cheese of any kind, cream, creamy sauces and soups, curds, dried milk solids, lactose, lactoalbumin, margarine (some may contain milk products), mayonnaise (some may contain milk products), puddings, whey and yogurt. Packaged foods such as muffin, pancake and cake mixes may contain dried milk. When you re-introduce these foods into your diet, you will notice symptoms shortly after their consumption." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"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." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"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." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Dietary Wellness: Using Foods to Heal (Get the book.)

"Does this contain milk, yogurt, cheese, casein or caseinates?" It is best to order plain food rather than those with sauces or stuffing. Plain food is easier and, if you like, you can add a garnish to it such as baked potato, rice or broiled meats. Cross contamination happens when foods have come in contact with the sensitivity or allergen. Sometimes food can be cross contaminated in restaurants by cooking in the same pots. If the restaurant cannot guarantee no cross contamination, do not eat there. It is best to avoid buffets as well for this reason." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"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." - Michael T. Murray and Michael R. Lyon, Hunger Free Forever: The New Science of Appetite Control (Get the book.)

"But cow's milk is 82% casein and 18% whey,^ while human milk is mostly whey protein. The casein content in human milk is about 20%,"* but can go as high as 45% while a mother is nursing/ Human casein also differs structurally from bovine casein in that it contains less calcium and phosphorus. Because of that difference, human casein forms softer, more digestible curds in the stomach.' But why would that matter? Cattle produce a digestive enzyme called rennin, which curdles the large protein molecules and helps them enter the nursing calf's system slowly." - Vicki B., PhD Griffin, Virgil, MD Husle, Dane J. Griffin, MOOOOve Over Milk - The Udder Side of Dairy (Get the book.)

"The high levels of casein are just one of several reasons that humans do not digest milk proteins very well, leading to numerous allergic reactions and high levels of mucous in our noses and bowels. Incidentally, Elmer's?glue is made from cow's milk casein; that's why you see Elsie the cow on each bottle of Elmer's* glue. are totally different beverages.) And for that matter, the cow's milk you buy in the store and the cow's milk that comes from a cow are not similar substances. • First, homogenized milk is not natural and presents serious health risks." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Foods You Must Avoid Dairy Products Milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, whey, casein, sodium caseinate, calcium caseinate, any food containing these. Wheat Most breads, spaghetti, noodles, pasta, most flour, baked goods, durum semolina, farina, and many gravies. Corn Including any product with corn oil, vegetable oil from an unspecified source, corn syrup, corn sweetener, dextrose, glucose, corn chips, tortillas, popcorn." - Jonathan V.

"Casein, Milk Protein, and Fat: casein is the main protein in cow's milk and constitutes about three percent of it. Mother's milk, on the other hand, has only 0.5 percent casein content. The high casein content of cow's milk causes it to form a very tough, rubbery curd in the stomach; the casein then binds the calcium in milk as an insoluble salt. Thus it is extremely difficult to digest and is a frequent source of indigestion. Mother's milk and goat's milk, on the other hand, form finely dispersed soft curds that infants can easily digest." - Walter Last, The Natural Way to Heal: 65 Ways to Create Superior Health (Get the book.)

"DPP-IV is a proteolytic enzyme that is able to break down a particular protein believed to be a contributing factor in gluten and casein intolerance. Though DPP-IV is technically a metabolic enzyme produced by the body, the activity has been discovered in a plant-based protease. Supplements containing Purpose:To help the body achieve an optimal pH Each serving should contain approximately: plant-based DPP-IV have been used nutritionally with success on individuals with varying levels of sensitivity to gluten and casein." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) "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. Dipeptidyl peptidase is a protein that has multiple functions in the body." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"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." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"During fermentation, the activity of the P-galactosidase (lactase) enzyme substantially increases. casein, calcium phosphate, and lactate in yogurt act as buffers in the acidic environment of the stomach, thus protecting a portion of the microbial lactase from degradation and allowing the delivery of intact cells to the small intestine [87, 88]. In the duodenum, once the intact bacterial cells interact with bile acids, they are disrupted, allowing substrate access to enzyme activity. Yogurt consumption results in enhanced digestion of lactose and improved tolerance [55, 85, 89-91]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Studies have also found that autism and schizophrenia in children may be linked to the body's inability to digest the milk protein casein; symptoms of these diseases diminished or disappeared in 80 percent of the children who were switched to milk-free diets.32 A UK study showed that people who were suffering from irregular heartbeats, asthma, headaches, fatigue, and digestive problems "showed marked and often complete improvements in their health after cutting milk from their diets." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Supplements containing Purpose:To help the body achieve an optimal pH Each serving should contain approximately: plant-based DPP-IV have been used nutritionally with success on individuals with varying levels of sensitivity to gluten and casein. Formulas that contain DPP-IV along with other proteases offer those suffering from such intolerances an ability to literally digest and assimilate the offending proteins. This proactively heals the gut, reduces inflammation, allows proteins to be properly absorbed in their digested state, and broadens the potential food groups a person may eat." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Actual, purified transfer factor, which is free from casein and other allergens, can be obtained from a number of sources. Transfer factor can be used to help the immune system prevent illness, or it can be used as an adjunct to medications, herbs, and nutrients. It can sometimes help remediate chronic immune dysfunction. I frequently recommend it to children who suffer from recurrent infections, autoimmune disorders, and allergies. It may also be beneficial to children who are experiencing a lingering chronic, low-grade viral infection in the gut, or other areas." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"In their report on the Third International Soy Symposium, regarding the US Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, held April-May 2000, Sally Fallon and Mary Enig state: All food additives not in common use prior to 1958, including casein protein from milk, must have gras (Generally Recognized As Safe) status____To this day, use of soy protein is codified as gras only for limited industrial use as a cardboard binder.
