Milk Proteins are Rocket Fuel for Existing Cancers
There are hundreds of millions of different proteins in
nature, and only one hormone that is identical between
two species. That powerful growth hormone is insulin-like
growth factor, or IGF-I. When consumed in cow's milk and
other dairy products, IGF-I survives digestion. IGF-I has
been identified as a key factor in the growth of every
human cancer.
An important clue in the cancer equation was published in
the August, 2004 issue of the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, Vol. 80, No. 2, 447-452.
Blood serum levels of IGF-I were measured in Danish children
at the Department of Human Nutrition and the Centre for
Advanced Food Studies, The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural
University, Frederiksberg, Denmark, and the Department of
Growth and Reproduction, Copenhagen.
Researchers had previously noted that intake of milk
protein is associated with "greater velocity of linear
growth in childhood." The objective of this study was
to "examine associations between protein intake, serum
insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentrations,
and height in healthy children."
Data led the scientists to conclude:
"Milk intake was positively associated with IGF-I
concentrations and height. An increase in milk intake
from 200 to 600 mL/d corresponded to a 30% increase in
circulating IGF-I."
So...the scientists focused entirely upon growth, but
ignored a second and even more importent avenue of
scientific investigation. Hundreds of studies in the
scientific literature have previously established
that IGF-I is a key factor in the proliferation and
growth of every human cancer. See:
http://www.notmilk.com/b.htm
Thousands of chemicals and events have been suspected or
identified as being carcinogenic agents. Dioxins. X-rays.
Cigarette smoking. Microwave transmissions. Once you get
cancer, one powerful internally secreted protein growth
hormone can help an existing cancer to grow out of control,
IGF-I.
This powerful growth factor is the only hormone in all
of nature that is identical between two species. The
odds of a perfect match of one hormone's structure
shared by two species is astronomical. Yet, human and
bovine IGF-I are identical. Humans manufacture IGF-I in
their bodies. They drink it in cow's milk. They eat it
in cheese and ice cream.
The consumption of milk and dairy products resulted in
an increase of IGF-I levels by a factor of 30%.
Should not every parent be advised of the danger of
ingesting cow IGF-I for his or her children? Should
every child be equally concerned for parents and
grandparents?

Key to Preventing Osteoporosis
Astronauts lose between one and two percent of their
bone density for every month that they spend in space.
Many lifestyle factors accelerate bone loss. See:
http://www.notmilk. com/o.html
These bone-weakening factors include smoking cigarettes,
drinking beverages containing caffeine, consuming animal
protein, and not allowing the bones in your body to
remain healthy with enough stress-bearing exercise. When
it comes to astronauts with bone disease, it's a matter
of extreme gravity. When it comes to osteoporosis, exercise
and gravity seem to play a major role, if not THE major
role in preventing bone loss.
The March 20, 2008 issue of Osteoporosis International
includes a study in which bone density of senior athletes
was compared to sedentary couch potato-people.
Scientists measured bone density in athletes competing in
running and swimming events to the control group composed
of non-exercisers and found that total bone mineral density
was greatest among runners.
Study participants were recruited from a group of athletes
who participated in the annual senior olympics. The study
included 44 runners, 43 swimmers, and 87 non-athletes.
Study conclusion:
"These findings suggest that moderate impact exercise
contributes to skeletal integrity in older age."
