High doses of aflatoxin, by contrast, would cause cancer in the monkeys gorging out on protein and just kill the others.

In these studies, a chronic low dose of aflatoxin produced precancerous lesions in monkeys fed 5 % casein but not in those fed 20 % casein; a chronic medium dose saved the low - protein monkeys from precancerous lesions by — yup, you guessed it — killing them, while the high - protein monkeys suffered neither plight; and a chronic high dose was finally able to give the high - protein monkeys pre-cancerous lesions.

More clues for understanding the casein - cancer research come from another Indian study — this one published in the late 1980s, and examining the effects of protein in aflatoxin - exposed monkeys instead of rats.14 As with Campbell's experiments, the monkeys were fed diets containing either 5 percent or 20 percent casein, but with one important difference: instead of being slammed with an astronomically (and unrealistically) high dose of aflatoxin, the monkeys were exposed to lower, daily doses — mimicking a real - world situation where aflatoxin is consumed frequently in small amounts from contaminated foods.

When the aflatoxin dose is more moderate, animals eating a low - protein diet develop cancer while their higher - protein counterparts remain in mighty fine health.
