He also found that wheat gluten behaved similarly to casein when lysine was added but not otherwise. <br /><br />These observations form the basis of his hypothesis by which animal protein is cancer promoting once a few cancer cells have begun to proliferate, while incomplete vegetable protein acts as an inhibitor.<br /><br />As Chris observed, a stretch. I say that Campbell violates the empirical principle embodied in Occam's Razor by introducing an inference well beyond the data and labeling it "biological plausibility". Plausibility is a trait of con artists or politicians and should never be applied to science.LeonRoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219165631035107225noreply@blogger.com
