What else they were eating is what I was wondering, too. Cancer seems 
to have triggers, and then also needs growth promoters. If what Loren 
Cordain is saying about betacellulin is true, then it doesn't take 
much dairy to promote cancer growth. One would need access to the raw 
data. This particular study doesn't mention dairy consumption.
