So I think milk is the perfect food, and skim milk is the perfect food for PUFA depletion - except for one thing. The protein.
Dairy protein seems to be uniquely allergenic for a lot of people here, myself included. Otherwise it's an amazing, cheap food. Sadly, the whey and possibly casein seem to give me some problems. Never anything overt, my stomach never hurts from dairy, but it seems to cause things like low mood, or acne, or dandruff. These problems can be reduced by reducing dairy for me, but otherwise I have no idea what to eat, every other food is nutritionally incomplete, or expensive, besides starch. But I don't want a diet based on starch.
Not only is the dairy protein allergenic, but it's bioavailability is very low. According to this thread, only 30% is used as energy, the rest is burned off. However I've also read that the reason some proteins are low in bioavailability is because they are turned into glucose. Whatever.
I was thinking about using hydrolyzed whey/collagen, but they lack a lot of the nutrients dairy has to offer.
So, I was thinking, would adding proteolytic enzymes to dairy predigest the protein for us, and thus give a perfect food?
I was thinking of using rennet, but it would be kinda gross, and expensive, and a unethical.
Maybe bromelain or papaya enzymes? Or straight up pepsin and trypsin?
Temperature and acidity would have to be optimized as well, which wouldn't be that hard.
Would it even work?
The main worry I have besides it working is the effects proteolytic enzymes have on the body. I have read they are used as a supplement, apparently after being eaten they enter the blood and have a proteolytic effect within in the bodies tissues. I don't want this. I am perfectly content with the thickness/clotting of my blood, and would rather my tissues remain uneaten by some random **** enzyme.
I don't food alone is a cure all, but it makes a big difference, and my appetite is very low as is (I have a hard time eating nearly enough calories, my daily total calories is probably at 1000, no joke). Drinking milk as the bulk of my diet would be wonderful.
We will see, I will be ordering some enzymes soon. Hopefully it does.
