Is it possible that C60 binds to Casein in a similar manner to the wayCasein binds to EGCG?

Highly unlikely, as the c60-oo and EGCG are like night and day, chemically speaking. C60-oo is very hydrophobic; in fact, during the time it would be in contact with casein, it probably doesn't even have the free hydroxyls that it would have after hydrolysis by a lipase. When I take c60-oo, I pour it on salad and vegetables; taking it with food doesn't seem to be a problem for me, although I'm not a regular milk drinker. If you're taking a small amount, it might be best to take it with other fats, as the body needs a certain amount of fat to trigger the lipid digestion process. That may or may not be a problem, but I do it to be on the safe side. I just take all my lipid-soluble supplements with my highest-fat meal of the day.

I was thinking that C60 binds to charged proteins so I mixed C60 to this yogurt that is painfully high in protein, it literally screws up my thinking and stomach, so I figured he why not add some C60, hmm? The mixture gelled up in a few seconds. I added some C60 to some whole milk to see what effect would come from that and It looked like long strands of something were precipitating out of the milk, maybe C60 attracts charged proteins and makes them insoluble? That would explain the protective effect C60 has on DNA, a lot of proteins are toxic to DNA.

If this is the case, wouldn't it render the C60 ineffective?
