Food for Life: Cancer Project

Discovering Dairy Alternatives

When humans consume dairy products it causes worrisome biological changes in the body, including a rise in the amount of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the bloodstream. Scientific studies have shown elevated IGF-1 levels to be a catalyst for the growth of breast and prostate cancer cells. In this class, you will learn about the wonderful benefits of avoiding dairy products as well as an array of possible dairy-product alternatives that provide ample calcium and other nutrients for a healthful diet.
