How Milk's Hormones effect Cancer Growth

I am more convinced than ever that drinking milk will cause cancer to grow much faster in your body than it would without the added additional IGF-I hormone.

I would like to thank Robert Cohen of Notmilk.com for this brief and easy to understand summary of why drinking milk can aid in the growth of cancer.

There are hundreds of millions of different proteins on Earth, and only one hormone is known to be identical between any two completely different species. That powerful growth hormone is insulin-like growth factor, or IGF-I.

IGF-I survives digestion and has been identified as the KEY FACTOR in breast cancer's growth.

IGF-I is identical in human and cow.

If you believe that breast feeding "works" to protect lactoferrins and immunoglobulins from digestion (and benefit the nursing infant), you must also recognize that milk is a hormonal delivery system.

By drinking cow's milk, one delivers IGF-I in a bioactive form to the body's cells. When IGF-I from cow's milk alights upon an existing cancer.

• WHY DOES CALCIUM LEAVE BONES FROM MILK? (find out why)
• For More Information on Osteoporosis click here.
• Another Great Resource Site on Bone Loss from Milk with over 58 references for the facts listed.
• A page asking questions about BST and the FDA with the increats in milk of IGF-1 (the body's most powerful growth hormone linked to increasing the growth rate of cancer). Another article on rBGH in America's milk.
• A link to an journal article from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: it reviews the increased risks of prostrate cancer from higher dairy product consumption in males.

This book reveals a personal journey of a female scientist battling cancer 5 times, before she turned her mind to the cause of the cancer she had been crippled with so many times.

This book is one that reveals the scientific link between cancer and the consumption of dairy products. As more people become aware of this, we may have a happier and healthier society with much less suffering for all animals.

I highly recommend this book if you are concerned about breast cancer.
