Is this true about casein?

I read this article on Isolates vs Blends and came across this information. Is there any truth to these claims?


Casein, plain and simple, is milk-glue. Remember elementary school? There was a reason why Elsie-the-Cow was on the front of the bottle of your Elmer’s Glue!

Cows create glue from milk proteins called casein. Mike Adams, the well respected author and editor of a company called Natural News, in an interview with Robert Cohen, author and the Executive Director of the Diary Education Board, Mike Adams asked Cohen about Casein and Cohen stated,

“…When you take milk and you get rid of the fat and water you're left with just protein, and basically they're blood proteins, serum albumin, milk protein, 90% of it is casein. Casein, when it's extracted from milk is actually a glue. The type used to put a label on a bottle of beer and to hold together the wood in your furniture. When you eat this casein glue from milk, your body sees it as a foreign protein, and in turn produces histamines which end up as mucus. it's a process that takes 10 to 12 hour.”

After reading this, doesn’t it make sense that if you are going to feed, help tone and sculpt your muscles with the highest-quality bio-available protein, it would wise to say, “please hold the glue” and stick (no pun intended) to a purer form of whey protein where the glue had been isolated and filtered out? If that makes sense to you, you may want to feed your muscles (like professional body builders and many health conscious people do) whey isolate, not mucus forming casein laden concentrates.
 
I love the PES select and agree with the research on it. This article was just interesting to me because I have never seen anyone compare casein to glue, and state how it is allergenic and mucus forming in the body. I assume it is marketing hyperbole at it's worst.

Yeah, don't put too much stock into that outrageous article you read.

It's not the first time I've heard this though, and I tend to think dairy can do this to me. I still eat/drink a ton of dairy. It could be more related to reflux, for me though.
 
I've heard the claim before. Never seen any science. I have personally dropped dairy for extended periods in the past looking specifically for this improvement in mucus production and it never materialized.
