Re: Laurie - Whats your view on this hypothesis?

> As to being chimically similar, what a hoot.

"Bovine BCM-7 is similar to human BCM-7 and has different affects.
"This bioactive peptide exhibits a strong opioid activity" p. 191"


The hoot was that in the same info he was using to damn casine because
of a potential in some for allergic reaction, it was noted that proteins
in grain and peanuts were chemically similar which resulted in similar
aleric reaction.

As to your additional info, such can also be said of the estrogen like
proteins found in soy that is the cause for some concern.  Regardless of
source, if a substance can cause a reaction because of chimical
similarity to some degree or another, in some it is likely to do so.

"Humans have elastase enzyme "to digest a number of proteins"(including
those in breast milk). - MedicineNet.com

"Although elastin can only be
broke down w/elastase, elastase also breaks down other proteins. I think
this is where people get confused about elastase, then assume H. Sapiens
are adapted to eat meat from that."

Sure, mutation works most often with a modification of what is available
rather then invent entirely new genetic information for new situations. 
From your source on elastin:

Definition of Elastase

   Elastase: An enzyme that digests and degrades a number of proteins
   including elastin, an elastic substance in the lungs and some other
   organs that sup****ts their structural framework. Elastase is

In other words, it breaks down the connective tissue of meat.  If in
evolutionary history humans had an enzyme in some form to work in one
area, mutation to include other areas could be easily added with some
minor mutations.  Such it is with meat and milk.  If humans did not use
it to break down connective tissue it would not be digested, but it is
easily.
