I just went onto cronometer and did a comparison of whole milk, whole milk yogurt, and string cheese, and I was quite surprised at the large range of tryptophan content. I used a very large serving size for each, to reduce the rounding errors, since there is only a single decimal place on the website.
whole milk
0.023 g tryp/g protein
string cheese
0.013 g tryp/g protein
whole milk yogurt
0.006 g tryp/g protein
Has anyone else investigated this, and are these numbers correct? This is saying the yogurt has 74% less tryptophan than the milk, and 30% less than the cheese. I know lactic acid is bad, but the reduction in tryptophan content seems very substantial. Would that make yogurt seem more appealing and maybe even outweigh the lactic acid?
Anecdotally, I've never been able to tolerate milk after two years of experimenting with Peat ideas. I even tried lactose free milk, but it gave me just as much bloating and gas. However, it seems I can consume massive amounts of yogurt in a single sitting and feel excellent. I had actually given up on all dairy, but I've been having trouble getting enough calories, so last night on a desperate whim, I decided to eat some yogurt after dinner. I ate a quart of yogurt with a bit of honey in it, in a single sitting. I felt very full, but barely had any gas. My temperature rose to 98.9 (this never happens, I barely reach 98 on most days) and within an hour my stomach was flat. Within two hours I was hungry again.
