What did the most comprehensive double-blind study of diet for autism find, and what are the potential downsides?
What happens when autistic children on gluten- and casein-free diets are covertly challenged with wheat and dairy?
The original randomized, controlled trials of gluten- and casein-free diets may have been complicated by parental expectation bias.
What were the results of the first randomized controlled study of a dietary intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
The casomorphins—breakdown products of casein, a milk protein, with opiate-like activity—in bovine milk appear to have opposite effects than those from human breast milk on infant development, but what about A2 cow’s milk?
Casomorphins—breakdown products of casein, a milk protein, with opiate-like activity—may help explain why autism symptoms sometimes improve with a dairy-free diet.
Is it the casein or the cow insulin that explains the link between milk consumption and the development of type I diabetes?
Opiate-like casomorphins liberated from the cow’s milk protein, casein, are accused of participating in the cause of such conditions as autism, crib death, type I diabetes, postpartum psychosis, circulatory disorders, and food allergies.
Bovine casomorphin from cow’s milk is suspected to increase the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome, or crib death) based on the elevated blood levels in babies suffering acute life-threatening events, and their relative inability to clear it from their systems.
The opiate-like effects of the casomorphin in cow’s milk may have a depressive effect on the respiratory center of infants, and lead to “milk apnea,” in which babies temporarily stop breathing, and are placed at risk for sudden infant death syndrome (crib death).
