Switching from Cow’s Milk to Soymilk Lowers Cancer Risk

http://www.ananticancerdiet.com/Cancer_Fighting_Links.html (copy & paste) has a new article titled, “Why Avoid All Dairy Products?” Studies have shown that high blood levels of a group of peptides (short proteins) found in all animal milk, and collectively called, “Insulin-like Growth Factors,” or “IGFs,” have been linked to an increased risk of prostate and breast cancer. Diets rich in soy have been shown to lower IGFs in the blood, and to lower cancer risk.

Los Angeles, CA, July 09, 2008 --(PR.com)-- http://www.ananticancerdiet.com has a new entry on the, “Cancer Fighting Links,” page titled, “Why Avoid All Dairy Products?” (ananticancerdiet.com supports the book, “An Anti-Cancer Diet,” by Robert Korczynski) The following is a summary of the article:

“Over the last fifteen years, a number of scientific studies have shown that high levels of, ‘Insulin-like Growth Factors,’ or, ‘IGFs,’ in the blood are linked to high rates of breast cancer and prostate cancer. IGFs are found in all animals’ milk, and all products made from milk; they are a group of peptides, or short proteins.

Cow’s milk poses a greater cancer risk to humans than any other animal's milk because one of the IGFs (“IGF-1”) is identical in cows and humans, and there are receptors for it on mammary tissue. This makes cow’s milk, and products made from cow’s milk, like butter, cheese, and yogurt, particularly high-risk foods.

Diets rich in soy (like tofu and soymilk) have been shown to lower IGFs in the blood, and to lower cancer risk. Many studies have shown that a plant-based diet produces the lowest rates of both prostate cancer and breast cancer.

Since products made from cow’s milk raise IGFs in the blood, and diets rich in soy foods have been shown to lower IGFs, switching from cow's milk to soymilk is probably the easiest, and most effective way to help prevent breast and prostate cancers.”
