Milk Affects Hormones
↑ IGF-I

Milk
↓ Vitamin D
Insulin-Like Growth Factor I
“Insulin-like” = moves sugar into cells
“Growth factor” = encourages cell proliferation
Milk Drinking Raises Human IGF-I
Men and women aged 55 to 85 years
Three 8-oz servings of milk for 12 weeks
Serum IGF-I levels: ↑ 10%

RR = 2.1 (95% CI = 1.3-3.2) per 100 ng/ml IGF-I increment
Chan JM. Science 1998;279:563-6.
Vegetarians have lower IGF-I
• Plant-based diet is associated with lower
circulating levels of total IGF- I
• EPIC study: 2019 participants
– Animal protein, milk, and cheese ↑ IGF-I
– Vegetables, β-carotene ↓ IGF-I

Nutrition & Breast Cancer Survival
Summary
Reduced body fat → ↑ survival
Reduced dietary fat → ↑ survival
Vegetables & fruits + exercise → ↑ survival
Soy (~2 servings/day) → ↑ survival
Nutrition and Cancer: Mechanisms
• Low-fat diets reduce body weight
• Fiber increases hormone elimination
• Low-fat, high-fiber diets boost hormone
binding to SHBG
• Isoflavones may reduce risk.
• Avoiding meat reduces carcinogen exposure

Editor's Notes

  1. {"60":"As you would expect, waist circumference also decreased in the vegan group – about two inches smaller (or X cm).\n","5":"Recent meta-analyses of 12 prospective and 11 case-controlled studies = positive association with both dairy and Ca+ intake on PC risk.\nResearches concluded that non-dairy calcium and protein sources had no significant associations with increased IGF-I levels, suggesting a rise in IGF-I was more likely to occur from the protein in dairy products. BUT some of the main studies observing increased risk stems from Harvard Reseach…..\n","59":"We saw no change in body weight in control group participants, but an average of 11 pound weight loss in participants in the vegan group. \n16 control-group participants began the optional program initiated at their site. These participants attended an average of 46% of meetings and lost a mean of 9 lb. Attendance was significantly correlated with weight loss (r = -0.61, P = 0.01). Of participants who attended &gt;50% of meetings (n = 8), mean weight loss was 13 lbs. \n"}
