Breast milk... the 'accidental' cure for cancer:
Breast milk is being used to fight cancer after scientists accidentally discovered it contains a substance that kills tumour cells.
Trials in patients with bladder cancer have already yielded promising results and researchers believe the compound breast milk contains – nicknamed Hamlet – will also help tackle bowel cancer and cervical cancer.
They also say it homes in on cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed – so it has none of the debilitating side effects of chemotherapy.
Professor Catharina Svanborg, who made the initial discovery, said last night: 'There's something magical about Hamlet's ability to target tumour cells and kill them.'
She said human breast milk contained a protein called alpha-lactalbumin, which is transformed into a cancer-fighting agent when in the gut.
Prof Svanborg, an immunologist at Lund University in Sweden, made the chance discovery that the substance kills tumour cells when working on antibiotics.
