DESCRIPTION: Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) is a natural human growth hormone instrumental in normal growth during childhood, but in adulthood can promote abnormal growth—the proliferation, spread (metastasis), and invasion of cancer. This video seems like a departure from the last 5 videos, which describes an Ex Vivo Cancer Proliferation Bioassay (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/developing-an-ex-vivo-cancer-proliferation-bioassay/), but those who've seen my full-length presentation Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/), know that this all circles around in the end. I've touched on IGF-1 before in Dairy Hormonal Interference (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dairy-hormonal-interference/) and Meat Hormones & Female Infertility (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/meat-hormones-female-infertility/), but soon you'll know everything you wanted to about it (but may have been afraid to ask!).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/igf-1-as-one-stop-cancer-shop/ and he'll try to answer it!
