Concerns on casein???

However thought I should highlight the warning below from wikipedia.org "Casein has been implicated very strongly as a carcinogenic compound, possibly one of the most carcinogenic currently in the human diet, according to The China Study by T. Colin Campbell. Also mentioned is the incidence of higher cancer rates in countries that consume more dairy products, specifically cheese, which has more than 10 times the casein density of milk. " From what I understand whey sort of suppresses free radicals so is good. Apologies if this has been discussed before, but thought its worthwhile mentioning it. Stay well.

You can find a lot of anti-dairy and anti-meat articles and you have to decide what you believe and what you want to ingest. I think if you are eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, you are probably counteracting the carcinogens in your diet with phytonutrients and anti-oxidants...but i am not a doctor and I cannot tell you what you should or shouldn't eat - that is up to you to decide. -------------- While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us. - Ben Franklin
