incomplete protein.Whilst
proteins are found
in just about all types of food, it is only meat, eggs, cheese and other foods from animal sources contain «complete

This sounds very complicated to me, but it looks to me like there is a possibility that two
incomplete proteins from different food sources (which

in theory add up to complete

protein, or even the same time and therefore may have very different effect on cancer.
