https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ DESCRIPTION: 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. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cows-milk-casomorphin-and-autism/ and I'll try to answer it! Please also see the last two videos in this series, Cow's Milk-Induced Infant Apnea (
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cows-milk-induced-infant-apnea/) and yesterday's video (
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cows-milk-casomorphin-and-crib-death/). Breast is always best, but the breast milk of women eating plant-based diets may not only exclude bovine casomorphins, but contain lower levels of industrial pollutants like dioxins. See Flame Retardant Chemical Contamination (
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flame-retardant-chemical-contamination-2/). For other effects animal products may have on healthy development, see Dairy & Sexual Precocity (
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dairy-sexual-precocity/) and Protein and Puberty (
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/protein-puberty/). No wonder Dr. Spock, the most esteemed pediatrician of all time, recommended children be raised without exposure to meat and dairy (see Doctors' Nutritional Ignorance -
http://nutritionfacts.org/video/doctors-nutritional-ignorance/). And if that isn't enough, there are and hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects (
