DESCRIPTION: Cancer cells are commonly present in the body, but cannot grow into tumors without hooking up a blood supply. Angiogenesis inhibitors in plant foods may help prevent this from happening.
The cancer-promoting growth hormone IGF-1 is another angiogenic factor, helping tumors turn on the gravy train. This may be another reason plant-based diets protect against cancer, since as few as two weeks on a healthy diet can lower IGF-1 levels. See my series on the elegant experiments that discovered this:
• Ex Vivo Cancer Proliferation Bioassay ([ Ссылка ])
• IGF-1 as One-Stop Cancer Shop ([ Ссылка ])
• Cancer-Proofing Mutation ([ Ссылка ])
• The Answer to the Pritikin Puzzle ([ Ссылка ])
• How Plant-Based to Lower IGF-1? ([ Ссылка ])
One way cancer turns on the tap is silencing certain tumor suppressor genes. How do you turn them back on? See, for example, Apple Skin: Peeling Back Cancer ([ Ссылка ]).
How else can strawberries smack on the cancer kibosh? See Strawberries versus Esophageal Cancer ([ Ссылка ]) and Cancer Fighting Berries ([ Ссылка ]).
Because we all likely have cancer cells inside us, Cancer Prevention and Treatment May Be the Same Thing ([ Ссылка ]). To die with cancer rather than from cancer, we need to slow down cancer doubling time. Check out one of my oldie-but-goodie video Slowing the Growth of Cancer ([ Ссылка ]).
