Drink milk? You may get autism

[Ziggurat]

I'm still on breastmilk. Good old, dependable breastmilk! Nothing can harm me.

PETA has long since become a ridiculous self-parody. It surprises me anyone still takes them seriously.

Zombie thread zombies on me.
I stand by breast milk being awesome and preferable to leche de vaca.

It's time for the nonsense train. I mean, they could have actually linked to the studies..

It is PETA. What did you expect ?

First it was their absurd Sea Kittens campaign,

LOL. Somebody tell them that "cat fish" are eaten without a problem despite having cat in the name.

I almost clicked on the link, but then I saw "PETA", so I knew better than to bother with those idiots.

Casein sensitivity--this has to do with a lack of the DPP4 peptidase enzyme(which is also found protruding from certain lymphocytes but has a different job and is called CD26), which results in a small undigested amino acid chain that bears its mischevious nature from mimickry in two ways. One way is that the immune system may react to this suspicious looking peptide, which may mimic a viral peptide thus causing a heightened immune response but no replicating virus to attack, thus evoking an autoimmune response. The second way is that in individuals that have more permeable intestinal lumens, many peptides can enter the blood stream. Whereas, in an individual without permeability problems and solid digestion of proteins, generally only has individual amino acids enter the bloodstream with the occassional larger peptide passing. The thing is that this particular uncleaved casein peptide can mimic endorphins which when unregulated can cause substantial changes in mood, behaviour and perception.

In the case of Autism I would be looking for casein sensitivity as the prime antagonist of the three.

Are there any studies linking casein sensitivity to Autistic Spectral Disorder?

Uh, no. I resurrected the thread not just to discuss what they were up to in 2009, but to highlight that they are back at the same rubbish in 2014.

Seems they are at it again.

PETA slammed for advertisements linking autism and dairy consumption ...

This is a 2014 article about their current campaign.

I am VERY new on the forum, but I see a lot of emotional responses to questions that have logical, rational responses...!

Human nature isn't gonna change anytime soon. Especially on the internet.

But some human-hive nature is evolving because of the Internet. It just goes slow, as the drone/worker ratio is 10,000/1.
