Casomorphins are peptides, i.e., protein fragments, derived from the digestion of milk protein casein. There is no evidence that these peptides have any significance in human health. ==Health== Digestive enzymes can break casein down into peptides that have some biological activity in cells and in laboratory animals. They have not been shown to ha... Found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casomorphin
