About the Casein heading in Yellow™

You can find information on Casein under this Yellow™ heading. Casein is a binding agent that is found naturally in milk. It has a variety of purposes used in both edible and non-edible products. Casein is a collection of proteins and is used as a binding agent in cooking. It is also used by body-builders as a source of protein. Apart from its edible uses, casein is also used as a binder in the manufacture of some adhesives, binders etc.

Casein, although derived from milk, is actually lactose free. This enables it to be consumed easily by individuals who are lactose intolerant. Casein, being a source of protein, is used as an additive in many ‘body building’ supplements like protein shakes. It is commonly used by body-builders as a slow-digesting source of amino acids as opposed to the fast-digesting whey protein, and also as an extremely high source of glutamine (post-workout). Another reason it is used in bodybuilding is because of its anti-catabolic effect, meaning that casein consumption inhibits protein breakdown in the body. Casein is frequently found in otherwise non-dairy cheese substitutes to improve consistency, especially when melted.

Casein, when used for non-food purposes is used in the manufacture of adhesives, binders, protective coatings, plastics (such as for knife handles and knitting needles), fabrics, food additives and many other products Studies have also shown that Casein should be avoided by people with autism.
