Dr. Johnston reviews research on lactoferrin, a protein in colostrum, including a human study of colorectal polyps.
As a family practice physician, I would often counsel first-time moms about their first milk being low-volume colostrum for a few days, and not to freak out worrying about their baby being under-nourished. I never realized colostrum reduced the risk of childhood leukemia. Furthermore, I never imagined that scientists would find its benefit... in cancer research. Medicine takes some interesting detours. 🐄😂
Colostrum has long been called "liquid gold." But one of its ingredients has given cancer researchers something else to investigate. Meet lactoferrin.
