IGF1 levels
does not necessarily means that you're gonna get cancer.IGF1 is a metabolic pathway for growth, yes growth in general from muscle tissue, bones, even organs BUT.There is a huge difference from ingecting into yourself, artificial IGF1 HGH etc and causing you body to secrete it naturall.When i say naturally i'm not talking
about animal products (i am a
vegan btw except some use of honey and bee pollen) animal product consumption is linked to a numerous deseases due to saturated fats, trans fats, high concentrations of sulfuring aminos even heme iron http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23983135.Blaming soy protein (which btw has some great health benefits, general the soy bean) is at least wrong.Ok consuming every day 1 kg of soy probably is not good, as NOTHING is at very high quantities.Nothing wrong with natto, tempeh, tofu, soymilk, soybean, ans SPI.Asian people have been consuming soy for thousands of years without negative effects.Soy and especially SPI for people who are
doing serious natural bodybuilding without use of AAS and artificial growth factors, and are also
vegans believe me is a pain in the a $ $ and soy protein is maybe the ONLY type of protein that has sufficient ratios of amino acids, from bcaas to even sulfur aminos (but in normal levels not the dangerous levels linked to the homocysteine rise in the blood).
And for a
vegan bodybuilder who must unfortunatelly play tetris with the food sources that he choses in order to give to his body the right ammounts of aminos, restricting SPI and soy foods so much
does not make his goal any easier.There are sometimes that you need a meal thats complete with aminos and soy provides that meal with the additional benefits of lacking the saturated fats trans cholesterol and other endothelium inflammatory factors.I'm not saying that someone should
go all the way to 200gr of SPI everyday or consuming a kilo of soy everyday but some servings of soy now and then even every day or the use of SPI which helps in positive nitrogen balance
does not put you in the cancer risk team, thats just OVERexaggeration.Exercise, exposure to sunlight,
vegan diet or for those who can not something as close to
vegan diet, fruits and vegetables which contains lots of antioxidants and phtochemicals, NO STRESS which is the global killer, healthy social relationships, keeping your cortisol and adrenaline levels down (except the necessary times), good sleep and melatonin function, clean air, no radiation, away from procceced foods and additives like msg etc and many more that i can not even remember is the key to longevity.As long as your immune system is functioning well and your natural killer cells TP53 gene and many other cancer inhibitors are good and well, no cancer will ever show his face to you.With that logic we shouldn't eat ANY ammount of protein and we should
go straight to be breatharians living only with little water and sunlight exposure cause you like it or not the raise of IGF1 is inevitable i know that raise the IGF1 sky high MAYBE is not the best thing but we are not talking
about external hormones and things like this.Stabby raccoon also has a point.And even if you still worry
about the consumption of soy... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21711174.
