Quoted message said:Some people on the main allergies newsgroup are claiming that whey
protein is a dangerous, processed food that is unnatural and best
avoided. Yet, I have always heard that, next to whole eggs, whey
protein is an ideal, perfectly natural protein source. Who has it
right here? Is consuming all this whey actually a good idea?
In addition, the allergy people claim that consuming whey may likely
cause a people to develop a food allergy. Is this true as well?
I doubt it causes allergies, but if you're slightly allergic
to the proteins in it, concentrating them like that will certainly
give you a reaction.
Quoted message said:Just some food for thought (no pun intended).
You have to remember that MOST people who think they have
a lot of allergies are the victims of weak correlations.
They eat an apple, get the runs, think they have an
allergy to apples for ten years, try an apple, have no
problem, realize what a moron they are...
I've known other people who were diagnosed with multiple
allergies and suffered a tedious decade of avoiding
very common foods (try eating nothing with wheat, eggs,
lettuce, or peanuts for just one day), only to be correctly
diagnosed with thyroid disease, which is fairly easily
managed.
