Colin Campbell, reports how he discovered, over many years of cancer research, a possible link between animal protein intake and cancer development. Although Campbell was raised on a farm and loved his milk and eggs and sausage, his scientific curiosity was peaked through the research he conducted as well as reviewed. Because of these potential links he found, he was finally able to receive funding to study the possible effects of protein on cancer. What he discovered was that protein did indeed promote cancer development. However it was not all types of protein.

The safe protein, that which did not promote cancer, was plant based. The Cancer Casein Connection In fact, the connection between casein and cancer was so profound that the scien
