Food Proteins and Peptides That Fight Cancer: Anti-Angiogenic, Pro-Apoptotic, and Anti-Metastatic

evidence
The takeaway

Nutraceutical proteins and peptides (lactoferricin, soy peptides, casein-derived) showed anticancer activities including apoptosis induction, angiogenesis inhibition, and metastasis suppression — food-derived cancer fighters.
