Whey isolate, casein, 4% cottage cheese...Insulin response?

Interesting that you mention casein. I don't believe there is any relationship to insulin but here is a very interesting video on casein. This shows proof that milk is not beneficial to humans along with some other very interesting tidbits. It's a long video but the presenter Professor Walter Veith is very good along with documented research.

 
When I supplemented with whey protein for 3 months it took my A1C from 5. 2 to 5. 7 and my fasting glucose from 86 to 107. So as you can guess I stop supplementing with whey protein.
 
Very interesting...........I have been feeling like I am starting to get lactose intolerant.
 
Not all whey isolate is the same. Lactose upsets my stomach. Even though it says isolate, it can still have lactose in it, which I believe is a sugar. I have found that this product.
Isopure Zero Carb Protein Powder, 100% Whey Protein Isolate, (unflavored)
It does not have lactose (and zero sugar) and causes me no problems. Other whey products do cause issues for me.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
