Side effects of whey protein

I've recently started going gym and I'm thinking of consuming proteins (whey proteins) for muscle growth. I've read many articles around whey proteins and I've not come across any side-effects (when consumed in recommended quantities). I'm still a little paranoid, so positing it here. Are there any side-effects?
