Best Answer

milk contains the substance called IGF-1 which can be helpful to cancer suffers. You are more than likely referring to IGF-1, which is a growth factor in homoginized milk. Preliminary studies have shown it to cause some cancers (prostate for one) to grow more rapidly.

Is lactobacillus dairy free?

Lactose free products are NOT the same as dairy free products. If an acidophilus supplement is called lactose free it means it does not do not contain any milk sugar, but it may contain isolated, lactose-free milk protein - so it would NOT be dairy free. A dairy free probiotic means it does not contain either lactose (milk sugars) or milk proteins.
