Talk:Casomorphin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello. I appreciate the article since I'm learning about possible effects of casein on autistic behavior. I'm an amateur about milk chemistry, but isn't whey one type of protein, and casein another? The first sentence makes it sound like casein is a component of whey.

Also, it might be good to state that casomorphins are also a byproduct of human milk (and probably any mammalian milk)- according to the abstracts I've read on Pubmed. Because of the different amino acid sequence in Cow's milk, Beta-casomorphin 7 is much more potent than in human milk, according to Pubmed abstracts.--Hudej 07:04, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I too must say the first sentence currently makes no sense in my eyes: Casomorphin is a peptide sequence that is found in whey protein called casein, [...]...? --Abdull 12:07, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
