DESCRIPTION: Animal protein consumption triggers the release of the cancer-promoting growth hormone IGF-1. For background on IGF-1 see IGF-1 as One-Stop Cancer Shop ([ Ссылка ]) and Cancer-Proofing Mutation ([ Ссылка ]). In The Answer to the Pritikin Puzzle ([ Ссылка ]) we established that the reason the blood of those eating plant-based diets appeared so much better at fighting cancer cell growth, see Ex Vivo Cancer Proliferation Bioassay ([ Ссылка ]), is likely due to the drop in IGF-1 levels, especially those following vegan diets as per Friday's video-of-the-day How Plant-Based to Lower IGF-1 ([ Ссылка ]). Now it appears we know why—their avoidance of animal protein. Let's go one level deeper and ask why animal protein preferentially triggers IGF-1 release. Stay tuned for tomorrow's video-of-the-day Higher Quality May Mean Higher Risk ([ Ссылка ]).
