I had the rare opportunity to personally ask T Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, if any of the studies on animal protien had been conducted using a animal protein source that was not casein (dairy). The conversation went a little like this (from memory, not exact quotes):
Me: Is there research showing cancer rates using a non-dairy animal protein?
Campbell: Yes, there are studies that show that protein from vegetable sources do not promote cancers
Me: I'm sorry, the question was are there any studies from non-dairy animal protien sources?
Campbell: Casien is representative of all animal protiens. (short answer, then moved on to next question)
This left me to believe that there were no studies conducted on non-dairy animal protien.
Perhaps Dr Campbell doesn't consider fish to be an animal, since he actually conducted a study in 1985, comparing fish proetein to animal protien.
His findings:
This study provides evidence that fish oils, rich in omega 3 fatty acids, may have potential as inhibitory agents in cancer development.
The gist of the study results:
Casein (dairy protein) + Corn Oil = Cancer
Fish Protein + Corn Oil = Cancer
Fish Protein + Fish Oil = Significant decrease in development of cancer
Does anyone else see a trend here?
