Lacto-vegetarians tend to get tons and tons of protein from dairy products. Mind you, this is horrible, cancer-promoting protein, but complete protein nonetheless.
Another myth continued to be spread by unimformed vegetarian that protein is cancer causing. Protein does not cause cancer. However, Protein can be really bad for kidney,bone and etc if you are eating a diet that is deficient in essential fatty acids, Vitamin D, calcium and etc (Watch out for those man made isolated protein powder ! ) .

If protein is cancer causing, the entire Eskimo and Masai population would be bedridden with cancer and heart disease but this is not the case in reality.

Another myth busted .
