what was that 5% & 20% casein study? Was that % of total calories?


Does he think anybody (other than an infant or toddler maybe) gets 20% or more of their calories from the casein in milk?

Another thing that was very poorly discussed.

Yeah, 20% of the diet of whatever the mice ate and babies do get a lot of casein; however, since they are so young, their body is more flexible with it. The older you grow, the weaker your cells get and it is harder to digest and then you end up with problems. The damage is caused over many years, not instant or within the same year.
