Dairy and all it's multiple personalities

Dairy has many names, and it is important to know these names when reading labels at the store.
Obvious Sources of Dairy
*Milk
*Cheese
*Butter
*Yogurt
*Sour Cream
*Buttermilk
Not so obvious names
•Beta-lactoglobulin
•Casein, rennet casein
•Caseinate (ammonium caseinate, calcium caseinate, magnesium caseinate, potassium caseinate, and sodium caseinate)
•Delactosed or demineralized whey
•Dry milk, milk solids
•Hydrolyzed casein and hydrolyzed milk protein
•Lactalbumin and lactalbumin phosphate
•Lactose
•Lactoferrin, lactoglobulin
•Milk derivative, fat and protein
•Modified milk ingredients
•Whey and whey protein concentrate

We found that many, many packaged foods items and processed food items contain milk. If you or your child has a milk protein allergy or intolerance, it is probably a good idea to start learning how to cook from scratch. I did and now I absolutely love it. My next post will discuss all of the things you CAN eat!
