So I'm wondering, according to the EFI diet, the problem with dairy is mainly the proteins (casein, whey), right? Fat is not the issue because we can get fat-free dairy, and lactose is not the issue because we can either take lactase or aren't lactose intolerant. So it really comes down to the protein. So how come that dairy substitutes such as soy cheese or rice cheese so often contain casein? Would these pose the exact same risk as if we were to eat regular dairy because of the protein content? I'm by no means trying to discredit the diet, I'm just the kind of a person who needs to know exactly "why" to make herself stick to the diet. Lately I've been SO tempted to cheat...oh well.
