Not cancer risk, cancer growth. i.e. angiogenesis. And that does not say that at all since amino acids are the building blocks of every cell in your body anyway.

> Does it mean that protein intake should be lowered to reduce cancer risk?
without having any clue about the topic, i just googled around, and apparently, this paper from NIH : http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3988204/ seem to suggest that it (Low Protein Intake) does help, up to some degree.

#6Very interesting. What does this mean for low carb, high protein diets heavily promoted these days (Keto)?
Reminds me of this talk on TED - William Li, Anti-Angiogenesis therapy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjkzfeJz66o
Does this research mean these diets and therapies are less effective than previously thought?

#7kind of tangential to the topic, but, if someone is interested in knowing about the history of the disease etc. the book "the emperor of all maladies" is an excellent introduction.

Anti-angiogenesis diets increase amino acid intakes, What does it say about those?

#10It's a good study from high quality researchers, but to be fair there is a study almost every week for the last 50 years saying something like this.
