Steve Carper -- Thanks for the info. However, to make sure I completely
understand, the lactose is not in the so-called whey proteins? It is
basically in suspension in the liquid? So when I see "whey" on an
ingredient list, I don't have to worry? Hmmmm. I have an allergic reaction
to things with lactose in it but not casein, e.g., Veggie Slices,
apparently. I read somewhere that the whey proteins contained lactose so
I've stayed away from anything with whey in it, e.g.,  some margarines. I
have done significanlty better as a result. However, allergic reactions
should be provoked by proteins, you would think. I may not have found the
magic answer yet. I'm more knowledgeable but even more confused. Didn't
someone say "a little knowledge is dangerous"? <g>
