I would like to comment on the question.

There is no other expression for this on this list, but I find that term
inappropriate. As I have remarked in a earlier post, olive have less protein
than bananas, and avocados have less protein than artichoke and cauliflower.

I don't know much about the connection between protein and cancer, but at least
as far as other aspects of health are concerned, one of the most "dangerous"
proteins is wheat protein, which is obviously far from our genetic makeup.

In addition, there are many other causes of cancer, like exposure to chemicals,
lack of antioxidants, lack of fibre, etc.

Other remark: do lions have a high incidence of cancer? Same question for
hunter-gathere populations?

But aged meat is pre-digested. And the largest molecules are not absorbed (I
think).

I don't see what's wrong with having fast growing finger nails. On the contrary,
if finger nails stop growing, then probably something's wrong (in my opinion).

I haven't noticed any weight loss or bleedings or other effects, although my
consumption of animal food has been around 33% (by calories) these last 6
months.
