Hi!
What is Ray's or you guys' opinion on the Casein debate? I haven't found much so far.
I have always loved dairy but ever since a teenager I have had great doubts originating from someone who pointed out to me that "milk is made for baby mammals for a relatively short time in life and not for post-puberty grown ups".
Like gluten (which is evidently connected with all kinds of terrible dysfunction), I've come across many similar hints regarding dairy. The only study I have on hand is from the infamous China Study:
Not even considering that it is practically impossible to get "natural milk" (from grass-fed non-medicated cows, untreated and without additives) I can easily construct a case against dairy.
Did Ray ever address some of these arguments against dairy? Anyone else?

A final study was done to observe protein’s effect on actual tumor development. Several hundred rats were studied over the course of their lifetimes (about two years) and were fed a variety of protein amounts. After 100 weeks, all rats on the 20% casein diet were either dead or apparently near death from liver tumors. Every rat on the 5% casein diet was alive after 100 weeks. In the same experiment, some rats were switched from one diet to the other at 40 or 60 weeks. The rats switched from a high protein diet to a low protein diet developed 35%-45% less tumors than the rats on the consistently high protein diet. The rats that were initially on low protein diets began to develop tumors after the switch to a high protein diet.
