All of this suggests that, when bugs are present, aflatoxin is, too, the team concludes.

During the next three decades, he conducted a series of lab experiments at Cornell and Virginia Tech and found that rats given a brief initial exposure to aflatoxin tended to develop liver cancer when fed casein, the main protein in milk.

The question is whether the same low - protein diets that prevent the growth of pre-cancerous lesions once they are formed also increase the toxicity of aflatoxin and other harmful chemicals, decrease the capacity for tissue repair, increase the risk of dying from chemical overdose, and promote the formation of pre-cancerous lesions when these diets are fed to the rats of the same strain, sex, age, and protein requirements.

Indeed, the researchers weren't pulling our legs: This study really did show that a low - protein diet was both more «cancer promoting» and more deadly than a high - protein diet when the dose of aflatoxin was lower.

When rats were all fed 20 % casein, the dose that provided the maximal cancer - promoting effect, those dosed with 0.4 milligrams per kilogram body weight (0.4 mg / kg) or 1.0 mg / kg of aflatoxin failed to develop any pre-cancerous lesions at all.

In several of his experiments, when the aflatoxin - exposed rats were fed wheat protein or soy protein in place of casein, they didn't develop any cancer — even at the 20 percent level that proved so detrimental with casein.5 It seemed that those plant proteins were not only PETA - approved, but also the least likely to turn rat livers into tumor factories.

Dave Asprey: It's interesting that about sixty percent of the mycotoxin that a cow eats ends up in casein and so when you eliminate casein and from dairy, you eliminate aflatoxin from it.
