Does "milk Fat" Always Mean Casein?

What does "milk fat" indicate, exactly? Does it always contain casein/whey? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm just hopeful that there is some chance milk fat does not contain casein and whey.

What does "milk fat" indicate, exactly? Does it always contain casein/whey? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm just hopeful that there is some chance milk fat does not contain casein and whey.

On a quick search I couldn't find a definitive answer. Whey and casein are two separate protein components of milk; lactose is the sugar component of milk, and milk fat is the "fat" in the milk. When cream is churned for butter, or when cheese is made, the fat is agglomerated (the globules are made to adhere to each other) and the whey and lactose are forced out as byproduct. I am not sure what happens to the casein in this process. Alternatively, when milk is dried to a powder it is usually converted to a casein powder, but there is also whey powder made as in the powder for protein drinks. Coming from New Zealand as I do, I guess I should know more about milk since it is one of our biggest export products :( I did not have time to read this whole article: Open Original Shared Link but you might find the info in there. Butter is almost exclusively fat and the 'harder' the cheese the higher the fat content. This is why some people who are lactose intolerant can eat butter and cheese - there is very little lactose left in them - the butter because it has been churned out and the cheese because it has all been digested by enzymes. But how much whey or casein? I don't know.

Sorry I couldn't answer that. See, it was not at all a stupid question. Hopefully someone else will have an answer for you. :)

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
