The Link Between Red Meat and Cancer
35:46 - 41:19 (05:33)
The protein IGF-1 that is present in meat allows damaged cells to overcome signals in our bodies that would usually detect and destroy cancerous cells, making meat eaters more susceptible to cancer. Studies show that a low protein diet can help slow the growth of tumors in animal cancer models.

The higher levels of IGF-1 found in meat eaters can allow damaged cells to overcome signals in the body that would typically kill them, potentially leading to the development of cancer.

Summary
The higher levels of IGF-1 found in meat eaters can allow damaged cells to overcome signals in the body that would typically kill them, potentially leading to the development of cancer. IGF-1 also plays an essential role in muscle repair and brain function.

The consumption of high protein diets has been shown to promote cancer growth in animal studies, while low protein diets have been shown to have the opposite effect.

Summary
The consumption of high protein diets has been shown to promote cancer growth in animal studies, while low protein diets have been shown to have the opposite effect. However, this does not necessarily mean that eating meat causes cancer, but rather that a low protein diet could be beneficial for those already diagnosed with cancer.
