I need to gain weight (130 lbs.) thinking of using whey protein but I've heard that casein feeds cancer cells. Does anyone know is whey contains casein?

"The China Study" is a book detailing the results of a 27 year experiment with rats fed with casein. If its true then its shocking. I'm still not sure if caseinprotein and whey protein are the same or just similar.

Whey and casein come from milk, but they are quite different in composition (curds(casein) and whey). Studies show whey intake inhibits tumor formation in lab animals and improves immune function.
whey protein, whey & casein
