Scientists in the United Arab Emirates have highlighted the anti-diabetic and anti-cancer properties of whey protein in camel milk. The study was conducted by researchers from Zayed University in Abu Dhabi with support from the UAE Ministry of Health and the National Institute for Nutrition Research (NIR). They said camels milk has been shown to help reduce the dosage of insulin needed to induce glycemic control and increases glycosylated haemoglobin, anti-insulin antibodies and urinary albumin excretion. The team also found camel whey protein hydrolysates boosted anti-cancer activity in cells from an infected human liver.
