Just as with the peanut thread this is somewhat from a paleo and low carb perspecitve.
Lets talk about dairy. We all drink it as babies so clearly our systems and those of all mammals can deal with it. Granted only some populations keep the ability to breakdown lactose after childhood. Though this is not real relevant for things that have next to no lactose like hard cheese.
Casein and Whey protein have great bio availability. Its usually either low in carbs or has a very low glycemic index/load.
People cite problems with dairy proteins, toxins etc
The only problem I personally have is that if I eat too much cheese it tends to sit in my stomach forever which can't be too good.
So bottom line Dairy, for or against, why and studies?
