Yeah, sure you can find claims and research to substantiate almost anything. I have read some of it, I have read counter research.
But let's examine Fuhrman's statements in one instance:
Which foods raise IGF-1?
Since the primary dietary factor that determines IGF-1 levels is animal Protein, the excessive meat, fowl, seafood, and dairy intake common in our society elevates circulating IGF-1. It is the amino acid distribution of animal protein that sparks IGF-1 production.16 For this reason, isolated soy protein, found in protein powders and meat substitutes, may also be problematic because the protein is unnaturally concentrated and its amino acid profile is very similar to that of animal protein.
Refined carbohydrates, like white flour, white rice, and sugars can also raise IGF-1 levels, because they cause rapid increases in insulin levels, leading to increases in IGF-1 signaling. In fact, IGF-1 signaling is thought to be a major factor in the connectionbetween diabetes and cancer.14,15
It seems to be saying refined carbs do the same thing and so it's hardly causation entirely.
To each his own....not on here to debate everything.
What if it's more a problem for you not them but me. I'm thinking a pair of tastefull, lacey, crotchless underwear will do the trick as long as there's a little control top in it. And you're right if someone can't love you for who you are you don't need them in.your life. But I also feel if I don't love myself, how can someone love me?
