It sounds to me as if they're saying there is a substance in milk  
which blocks, and thus encourages more formation, of epithelial cell  
repair transmitters. They associate these receptors run wild with  
cancerous overgrowth in various sites.

I'd like to see more on this, as it's the first I've heard of these  
receptors. Since all animals, including cows, suckle, but not all  
have analogous salivary composition, I'd like to know how other  
species produce EGF receptors.

Anybody?
