The casein in cheese has small amount of opiates in it that affect some people. Here's a longer explanation.Sorry, I don't buy their explanation -- especially since they're completely wrong about fats and their relation to high cholesterol.Yes, the opiates issue is one of the reasons for it being theorized that GF/CF is good for children on the autism spectrum, Why? What are opiates supposed to do to ASD kids? but funnily enough, SCD kids for the most part can add back goat yogurt and goat cheeses, and some can even handle cow yogurt and cow cheese after their guts heal.These seem like different issues to me. I can handle cheese - but I am absolutely, thoroughly addicted to it - almost asaddicted as coffee - and we know how addictive that is. This makes perfect sense to me now - why cheese is harder to give up thenice cream or whipped cream. (though I am not necessarily buying theconspiracy to make people extra addicted through whatever the method is.)Also the issue of opiates in dairy/cheese is the reason that Dr. McCandlessadvises no dairy for people on LDN (because those opiates can block the LDN, orcancel out its effect) - though she has lately taken into consideration that people on SCD do well with SCD yogurt.
