Catharina Svanborg says she does

Catharina Svanborg says she does; it is human breast milk, and it is killing cancer cells! It has been extremely difficult to convince her science colleagues that the work she is doing is for real! Her lab is not large, and she does not qualify as a high-profile, "big scientist." Besides, her specialty is not even cancer at all but infectious disease. David Solomon, a cancer researcher at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) says that novel ideas in science always challenge the current paradigm. Furthermore, he said, "If this work had come from a well-known lab at the NCI, you'd have reporters calling six days to Sunday. You'd have scientists eager to collaborate. But it's coming from a small lab in a foreign country. It's like General Motors versus a garage operation."
The discovery was made at Lund University in Sweden, in 1993, when a graduate student of Dr. Svanborg came rushing into her office with some weird news unrelated to the topic that he was actually researching. He had been looking for how mother's milk fights bacteria in a tissue culture (tissue cultures use cancer cells) and discovered that the milk also caused the cancer cells to disappear. When Svanborg looked into the microscope, she discovered that the cancer cells were "committing suicide!" The thing about cancer cells is that typically they reproduce forever without limits.
Dr. Svanborg did not feel ready to share her knowledge with the world until August, 1995. In her background work, she discovered a piece of evidence that helped her theory that human milk can protect against cancer. The study showed that the risk of childhood lymphoma is nine times higher in bottle-fed infants. She and her student wondered if there was some connection in the breast feeding and the discovery that they had made in the lab. The actual portion of the breast milk that killed the cancer cells was a protein called alpha-lactalbumin (sometimes, called alpha-lac). Just how was this normal protein in human breast milk
