There are between 25 to 27 different proteins contained in milk products.
One primary protein called Casein and it constitutes over 80% of all the proteins in cow milk. This protein increases the production of mucus and, as well, thickens it. It is also a primary ingredient in industrial glues- glues that are used to assemble furniture because of its ability to create a strong bond. The average person consumes dairy or a dairy-related product 3 to 8 times a day, and given the role of Casein as a thickening agent, it makes sense that it would have a negative effect on the human body’s organs, particularly the prostate, the lungs and the bowels.
Another main ingredient is Caso-morphine . Like its name would suggest, this protein mimics the effects of an opiate, making you feel drowsy. As well, it has the effect of making you feel groggy, fatigued, and promoting feelings of depression. Given that so many Fibromyalgia suffers often complain of cognitive difficulties commonly called ‘Fibro fog’, it might make sense to investigate the elimination of milk from your diet, given that you do not want to aggravate this cognitive impairment.
IGF-1 is a potent growth hormone that exists in both humans and cows, but in dairy this growth hormone is genetically specific to the cow.
Lacto-albumin is a milk protein that the New England Journal of Medicine implicated in the development of juvenile and adult diabetes.
