ahhh, love cheeses.
American mozzarella us made from cows milk not buffalo , so results may vary. Love brie. Quality varies greatly by brand here in US. tryotophan converting to seratonin. Perhaps, if eaten on an empty stomach. Love to see all the benefits of eating quality cheese. For some people cheeses are a problem and need to be avoided. Im no lon ger convinced American cheeses are made from milk with the same high quality milk found in the EU. |

Or if there's milk at all--like the horrible "American cheese" packaged slices, which are mostly vegetable oil. I know so many people who use that stuff to give their dogs pills and people call it "dog cheese." I would never feed that to my dog, but that's the only kind of cheese may people eat. Ew. Cheese in Europe is so much better in general and cheaper. Some years ago a friend moved over from the UK for a couple of years. She was living in the mid-west where things are generally cheaper, but she was stunned at the cost of cheese in the supermarket. |
I don't care about the calories or fat in cheese, I'd like to see the amounts of casein and casomorphins listed instead.

Why do people who promote cheese never bring up the fact that some of us are allergic to the protein in cheese? I can handle small amounts of Parmesan & mozzarella, but nothing else. The reaction is weird & not what people would assume is an allergic reaction - a binge affects my muscles & joints, small amounts hurt my eyes. It took me years to figure it out. I checked with a doctor about the cheese/eye thing, & she said it's thing. Her daughter has the same problem.

I had symptoms as a baby (65 yrs ago), but it was assumed to be lactose intolerance and I was put on soy formula, and it was assumed that babies "grew out of it" by age 2 when I was given cow milk again. It is possible that A1 cows milk in North America is worse than A2 milk available in Europe & elsewhere. Doctors are finally starting to learn that cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA), is a common food allergy (or dairy allergy). While most babies with CMPA experience digestive problems (such as diarrhea, vomiting, constipation and reflux), skin problems (such as hives and eczema), respiratory symptoms (such as persistent cough and wheezing) and other more general allergy symptoms (for example, tiredness, problems sleeping, runny nose, itchy eyes & ear aches) can also occur. I don't think I ever grew out of it, I just thought hives, wheezing, tiredness, stuffed up nose, aches & pains were "normal". Though our chorus master told us in the 1970s to avoid milk products before concerts to avoid excess phlegm. One of my main reasons to try avoiding casein was to get rid of daily Sudafed & Claritan to be able to breathe. Now I need them only a couple of days a year. |

can you be more specific??? I did a little fact checking and other sources confirm the bit u quoted. |

While this is true, added butter slows digestion more, in theory. My son also piles on real butter, however Dr Atkins is rolling in his grave. The studies in his boom point out the real health danger of combining starches with fats. Perhaps new studies have debunked this?? -------- As for cheese helping keep plaque at bay.... I have tested this. Its all relative. Once starchy carbs, fruit, and sugars removed as food sources fir the mouth bacteria, cheese becomes their favirite. I can feel the film that has grown overnight. Despite brushing with toothpaste or baking soda. Perhaps better to not have cheese as dessert, but as appwtizer so crunchy salad greens can scrape away the particles, and more saliva can clear tge decks. |

The writer gives a line about some vitamins and minerals, none of them amino acids, and then says "This makes it “a complete protein” food," it certainly is a complete protein food, but vitamins and minerals aren't what make it that. |

This article was only a beneficial peice on cheeses. A complete understanding of cheeses and dairy would fill a tome. My kids stopped drinking milk at meals years ago. Drinking good unfloridated well water. The one diwn fall was that is a very important source of vit D. Doc should have been blood testing my kids. One son now has bone issues. And I dont think milk is for everyone. THAT is a book unto itself. herbicides pesticides pasturization grainfed caseins lactose cow v. goat and sheep v. buffalo holstein v jersey A boatload of reasons to avoid dairy.I love cheeses but buy far less and try to buy EU sources. There us talk of 25% tarif on parmesan cheeses imported from Italy. I plan to go to a cheese shop and see if a whole wheel is affordable. Otherwise a few wedges will be enough and put in freezer. |

If the A1 casein from typical milk cows (like Holsteins) is your goal to avoid, you're on the right track. But do avoid (in the case of A1 casein) also British and the more northern European milk products as well, as the A1 cows to my understanding originated from these areas. Sorry, but there goes all the yummy Kerrigold cheddar. Bummer. But the butter, having little casein left, should be fine. The smaller sized milk cattle of southern Europe typically may have less A1 genes, hence real French, Italian and such cheeses. When in doubt, goat and sheep cheese like manchego, even from an American Costco, are secure bets because goats and sheep only produce A2 casein. |
We have local cheeseries who use goat milk, I love it. It's a way for me to do grassfed. A small piece is so satisfying, too.

An experiment I tried was going A1 casein-free for a year or so. The first couple of times I tried re-adding A1-containing Greek yogurt I felt ill, but other things happening at the time could have caused that, so no really conclusive result. I've returned to a diet high in A1 casein dairy and seem fine so either I'm not sensitive to it or else the stuff is sneakily doing something I haven't discovered yet. Nearly all my current dairy is fermented stuff (Greek yogurt and home-grown kefir). I wonder if that has any effect? Not presently much into any cheese.
