are there people who shouldn't take whey protein.
everywhere i read, they all extol it's merits as part of
one's daily program.

aside from the obvious, people allergic to milk products, or
kidney probs. what about any other conditions that whey
protein might exacerbate?

thanks

It's quite high in tryptophan which doesn't mix well with
longevity. Unless you are a growing child or a bodybuilder
you have better stay off it. For tryptophan see e.g. this
assay by Ray Peat:

But it is not an optional protein that can be produced
internally and the question is how much is too much. As in any
biological process there are minimal and optimal and maximal
levels involved. Min to have some effect at all, opt the level
where best results are achieved and max where no additional
increase prodeces additional desired effects and begin to
prompt undesired effects. Here is another look from another
perspective:

i was wondering if there was a more immediate concern like
high blood pressure, or liver issues, or growing a second
thumb, or whatever.
