Lactotransferrin is derived from milk so do you want people to avoid milk also?
My advice eat your beef and drink your milk.

Concerning iron deficiency anemia....Here is a previous post by Dr.
Loretta. I don't think she will mind if I repost it for you....
Mike
This is not necessarily true. (maybe I am missing something because I have
only read a couple of emails -- forgive me if I have missed the point.) It
can be dangerous for a cancer patient to load up on iron even if they are
anemic or the deficiency is supposedly caused by treatment as the cancer
cells will most likely gobble it up before the body can use it.
Lactoferrin should be considered. Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein
and a vital element to the human body in that it is specifically utilized to
retrieve iron from the foods we ingest, and then deliver the iron wherever
it is needed by the body. Because the affinity of lactoferrin for iron is
very high, it is able to retain and transport iron even through the harsh
gastric environment, so it can be delivered to the small intestine where it
is absorbed by specific receptors on the epithelial cells. Unfortunately,
lactoferrin levels are often not high enough in the human body for a variety
of reasons. As a consequence, many people have trouble properly assimilating
the iron they've ingested through the foods they eat. And because their body
is not assimilating iron properly, symptoms of iron deficiency appear, even
though plenty of iron is being ingested on a daily basis.
"Dr. Peter Rothschild says in his published research report on the Biology
of Lactoferrin, "Of the 750 million people on this planet who suffer from
iron deficiency symptoms, less than half of them suffer from any actual lack
of iron in their diet." Instead, he explains, their iron deficiency symptoms
are due chiefly to metabolic problems (such as those caused by insufficient
levels of lactoferrin) that hinder the assimilation of iron from the food
they eat, or because of low bio-accessibility of the ingested iron.
Of course, this creates a serious problem when individuals suffering from
alleged "iron deficiency" begin taking iron supplements. What happens is
that the additional iron being ingested does absolutely nothing to alleviate
the iron deficiency symptoms, because it, too, remains unassimilated by the
body. As a result, the body becomes inundated with iron that it simply
cannot assimilate and utilize.
Worse yet, that excess iron soon begins to support the growth of infectious
agents throughout the human body, due to the fact that harmful bacteria,
yeasts, viruses and other parasites have a continuous metabolic need for
iron, and tend to thrive in an iron-rich environment! "
I think there have been some studies that indicate that low levels of iron
(especially in men) actually reduce cancer risk.
