I read somewhere that milk protein can be processed into MSG (http://www.truthinlabeling.org/nomsg.html), and that it's in so much stuff partly for that reason. Some of it may be because of the "enriched flour" recipe in Joy of Cooking, too, which has powdered milk. I'm sure it boosts the protein content. It's just really annoying that they do it with allergens.
