I knew Greek yogurt was evil
My husband is an avid greek yogurt eater. He won't eat regular yogurt. Meanwhile, my kids HATE greek yogurt and won't go near it. I wish I could still eat ANY yogurt. I've told my husband the high concetration of casein is probably not good for you, not to mention losing the benefits of the whey. He pays big $ for organic whey protein concentrate instead.

Zizzle,
To be fair though, every, and I mean every processing procedure used to alter the composition of food or feed products results in byproducts that have to be utilized in some other product, or disposed of. It is indeed sort of a dark side (since the primary products themselves are promoted as being so healthy, and usually so "green", but as the article points out, the reality is that this stuff can be mighty tough to deal with.
Years ago, when I was annually selling millions of pounds of food corn to chip and tortilla plants, I was offered a similar deal (a couple of semi-loads per day of lime-water and corn gluten left over from the processing of corn to make masa, which as you know is used for making tortillas and tortilla chips). It was supposed to be safe to use as a feed additive, or to spread on the land, where it will eventually decompose to form a small amount of fertilizer and mulch. But the chemical residues (lime) will gradually build up and alter the pH of the soil, which affects the ability of plants to uptake nutrients (and toxins).
And if it wasn't utilized (spread on the land, or dehydrated and processed for feed) within a few hours, it would sour and stink to high heaven (have you ever had the pleasure of getting a whiff of the grease pit in a tortilla plant?). And once you sign such a agreement, those loads will show up rain or shine, and you have to be ready and able to handle whatever they bring out, regardless of weather or any other personal circumstances. Fortunately, even though I was still reacting and had brain fog at the time, I could think clearly enough to decline the offer, and I have never regretted it. LOL.
I agree with you about the whey — your husband could just drink milk and probably get basically the same benefits in the long run, and save all that expense, and preempt all the toxic byproducts that result from fermenting the milk and separating the whey, etc.
If people only knew all the details behind the foods they are eating, processed foods would probably not be anywhere near as popular as they are today. That especially applies to all the highly processed foods labeled as "green" and "sustainable". Regardless of claims, all that additional processing results in additional byproducts and pollution and loss of energy (that's why they cost so much more than raw foods), despite all the rosy descriptions and smiling faces in the ads.
IMO, these byproduct utilization programs are the food processing equivalent of taking another drug or 2 to counteract the adverse symptoms caused by taking a drug that was initially prescribed.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
