Interesting. The line of reasoning I’m familiar with is that the casein protein is a large molecule similar to gluten and exerts effects similar to those of any large lectin one’s body may trouble processing. That’s pretty general.
Then I thought maybe the glucose independent, pro-insulinemic effects of dairy stimulate inflammation. Instead it appears the opposite is true. Insulin is anti-inflammatory (!).
I find this fascinating. Maybe in a low glucose environment dairy isn’t that bad and may even be good (leaving aside casein for the moment!). I’m thinking of that tribe that drinks a lot of milk but I’m guessing don’t take in high amounts of sugar, certainly not processed.

I had the same issue, and I would love this discussion to continue in that direction with more links to publications. In fact, many (if not most) of the recommendations in Bredesen's protocol/book do not seem to be backed by hard evidence.
