The other major category of milk protein
is whey. Whey is a blend of multiple types of
smaller proteins and hormones, including
immunoglobulins, insulin, insulin-like growth
factor 1 (IGF-1), estrogens, and other growth
factors. (Remember, milk is a powerful
growth promoter!) For this reason, milk is a
highly insulinogenic food, which means that
the combination of lactose plus whey dairy
proteins causes the release of very large
amounts of insulin when consumed.
