Casein and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Casein is a protein that constitutes about 80% of the protein content in cow's milk and cheese. It is a major component of dairy products and is used in various food products for its binding and thickening properties. Casein is also utilized in the production of cheese, as it coagulates and forms curds when exposed to acids or enzymes. Beyond food, casein is used in some industrial applications, such as in the manufacture of adhesives, paints, and plastics.
