are there people who shouldn't take whey protein. everywhere i read,
they all extol it's merits as part of one's daily program.

aside from the obvious, people allergic to milk products, or kidney
probs. what about any other conditions that whey protein might
exacerbate?

thanks

It's quite high in tryptophan which doesn't mix well with longevity.
Unless you are a growing child or a bodybuilder you have better stay
off it.  For tryptophan see e.g. this assay by Ray Peat:

But it is not an optional protein that can be produced internally and
the question is how much is too much.  As in any biological process
there are minimal and optimal and maximal levels involved.  Min to have
some effect at all, opt the level where best results are achieved and
max where no additional increase prodeces additional desired effects and
begin to prompt undesired effects.  Here is another look from another
perspective:

i was wondering if there was a more immediate concern like high blood
pressure, or liver issues, or growing a second thumb, or whatever.
