If we consider 5 % casein as the reference (the blue bar), providing 20 % casein during the initiation period (red bar) increased body weight by 72 grams, while providing 20 %
casein during the promotion period (green bar) increased body weight by 66 grams.

To provide further evidence that the negative effects of the low -
casein diets were not limited to very young animals with unusually high needs for protein, Campbell found that the apparent loss of the ability to repair damaged tissue occurred when the 20 %
casein diet was fed
during the
promotion period, the same
period during which it protected against the growth of pre-cancerous lesions.
These results clearly show that while 20 %
casein provided
during the
promotion period promoted the growth of pre-cancerous lesions, 20 %
casein provided
during the initiation
period proved dramatically and powerfully protective.
