Key signatures of cancer cells, due to their highly proliferative nature, are intensified metabolic rate, increased oxidative pressure, and consequently, reliance on antioxidant defense in term of redox homeostasis maintenance
This is because it picks up free radicals (unpaired electrons) before they damage structures in the cells
Because appetite suppression makes it easy to under-eat, protein often has to be prioritized deliberately

This bacteriostatic (growth-inhibiting) property, rather than a bactericidal (bacteria-killing) effect, ensures that any contaminating microbes do not multiply
