Casein???
Posted Friday, September 10, 2010 at 3:38 AM

I like soy cheese...and have been eating this soy cheese cheddar flavor from Trader Joe's for a while...and thought this is diary free product.

Today, read through the label, and found out, there is Casein (milk protein)...and not sure if Casein is kinda diary??? But, how could this be??? This is a soy product....am I screwed now...

Yeah, casein is a dairy product. It's put into soy cheese to make it melt. Stinks, right? There are other great brands out there though without casein: Daiya, Teese, and Follow Your Heart.

Cheese is such a hard habit to break. But Casien is bad news all the way around. Especially after reading The China Study.

When I just have to have it, I use Follow Your Heart. It made the transition easier. I find now though I only buy it for special dishes and frequently it goes bad before I finish it. So I know I am letting that addiction slip away....hooray!

Always offer kindness and a soft word to the beings around you; You do not know their journey. Your words can be the hug they need or the shove that breaks them.
