human milk versus cow's milk

[Guest guest]

Here is an extract from another group I'm in. Is this why some people are

sensitive to casein? If so, why isn't everyone sensitive to casein?

" The proteins in cows milk is in different proportions to human milk.

Human milk is 40% casein and 60% whey whereas cows milk is 82% casein

and 18% whey. Humans have the enzymes to break down more whey than

casein and animals have the enzyme to break down more casein than

whey. ... Therefore cows milk is designed

for calves, which have a growth rate four times that of human

children. So I suppose that is one of the problems of cows milk. "
