Breast Milk Found To Fight Cancer

Yes yes I'm sure lots will volunteer to farm all the milk :pac:

Swedish scientists have accidentally discovered a substance contained in breast milk can kill tumors

Trials in patients with bladder cancer have already yielded promising results and researchers believe the compound breast milk contains – nicknamed Hamlet – will also help tackle bowel cancer and cervical cancer.

They also say it homes in on cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed – so it has none of the debilitating side effects of chemotherapy

The substance attacks cancer cells in numerous ways – first evading the cell’s outer defences, then targeting the ‘power station’ mitochondria and the ‘instruction manual’ nucleus. These actions cut off the cell’s energy source and ‘programme’ it to commit suicide, in a process called apoptosis.

Early trials in patients with bladder cancer show those injected with Hamlet start shedding dead tumour cells in their urine within days

All joking aside though it's fascinating and wonderful news for a change, hopefully it proves as good as hoped

Did my PhD on BAMLET.

It's a pretty awesome little protein. Other trials have been approved too so fingers crossed something comes from it.
