Breast Milk Vs. Cancer Cells
The article I chose to read discussed the effect of drinking breast milk on cancer. The article states that breast milk contains a substance called HAMLET, and that HAMLET is produced by combining alpha-lactalbumin in the milk and oleic acid which is found in babies' stomachs. HAMLET is a substance that has been proven to reduce cancer and the size of cancerous tumors. The article also says that HAMLET can trigger apoptosis in cells, meaning it can make cancerous cells kill themselves.
After more research is done to determine the exact effects of the breast milk on health, this could be recognized as a revolutionary discovery ! Many scientists are racing to find the cure for cancer and breast milk might be the answer. The article says "Laboratory experiments have shown that HAMLET kills 40 different types of cancer, and the researchers are now going on to study its effects on skin cancer, tumors in the mucous membranes and brain tumors," meaning that we might be seeing breast milk used on cancer patients as a form of treatment in the very near future. Finding a way to safely extract HAMLET from breast milk and inject it into cancer patients will be one of the largest medical breakthroughs of our century. " 'A pilot study of bladder cancer patients were injected with a HAMLET solution through a catheter,' Prof. Karlsson is quoted as saying to the Telegraph. 'The solution killed cancer cells and the size of the tumors actually reduced within five days,' " meaning doctors and scientist are very close to discovering the best way to use breast milk in the battle against cancer.
The source that I used was credible. It was credible because it contained many good, credible citations within its own works cited. The article quoted many brilliant doctors and different science journals. Many direct quotes were used throughout the article, lessening the chances of the article containing plagiarism.
The article is very informative, but it also left a number of unanswered questions that are critical. The article often ignored and downplayed the fact that while breast milk might reduce cancer and kill cancer cells, many babies that drink breast milk still get cancer. The article also doesn't discuss the fact that there are numerous causes for cancer and that having breast milk instead of formula still doesn't mean that the person will not be exposed to other risk factors. The article states that alpha-lactalbumin in the milk and oleic acid which is found in babies' stomachs is what kills the cancer cells, but if oleic acid isn't present in adults then how does breast milk affect their cancer?
