It is my understanding that there are no standards for these tests and each
lab uses its own scales. Alletess uses these G -RAST values for both casein
and gluten:
 
   0 - 1670 = 0
1671 - 2700 = 1+
2701 - 4100 = 2+
4101 - 5900 = 3+
5901 - 7600 = 4+
7601 - 9500 = 5+
     > 9500 = 6+

There is a Milk Substitute FAQ (now at version 3.0) that is stored on the
mailing list. It is mostly a compilation of various people's opinions of the
different ones available in the marketplace. It is now some 21K in length
