A few
of the problems with these dairy
proteins are the high incidence
of bovine
protein intolerance associated with intestinal inflammation, bleeding, and diarrhea; the slow
breakdown of these large
proteins in the tiny system, preventing additional formula feedings as early as they are needed for
proper caloric intake; and the increased risk
of developing childhood diabetes — the risk being greater the earlier cow's milk
proteins are introduced (all
of these topics are addressed elsewhere in the book).
