I heard that only the high protein diet people got cancer is this book telling the truth does protein really cause cancer?

No: If a protein diet caused cancer every person would be subject to developing cancer. A starvation diet in animals slows cancer growth down but the cause other than for 5% involved thru genetic factors involves a 3 step process in which viruses have been defined. The MMTV virus is known to cause breast, prostate and lymphomas, HPV virus is associated with squamous of cervix.
