What about the work of Dr. Catharina Svandborg and her research assistant, Anders Hakansson of Lund University in Sweden who discovered a component in human milk that "compels cancer cells--every type of cancer cell tested--to die." The manner of death is apoptosis. The cause of death was a protein they named HAMLET for Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made LEthal to Tumor cells. It is shortened to Alpha-lac.
It was first published in Discover magazine June 1999, Vol. 20, No. 6, pg. 68-75. This info has also been presented at conferences and (I believe) published in medical journals.
Do a Google search. I just pulled out my old copy of Discover.

... probably because there is nothing available. How ludicrous!
The law of survival dictates that milk is to feed the young, not to  
kill it.

Jaye, do not waste your time with this request.
Human milk is innocent until proven guilty.
