NOTMILK - - - PETA HAS NOT GONE FAR ENOUGH!

[Guest guest]

PETA's billboards parodying the popular " Got Milk? " campaign went up

Wednesday in Wisconsin with a picture of New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani

wearing a milk mustache and asking, " Got prostate cancer? "

 

PETA's controversial ad has drawn criticism, but perhaps this time, they

were NOT strong enough.

 

Hundreds of studies have identified a hormone manufactured by the

human body as the KEY factor in the growth of prostate cancer. That

hormone is called insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). This powerful

cellular growth accelerator is identical in cows and humans. Eat pizza

with mozzarella or Parmesan on pasta, ice cream or yogurt, and you

deliver this powerful hormone to your body.

 

SCIENCE magazine was started by Thomas Edison in the late 1880's. This

prestigious journal is read by over 500,000 scientists every week. On

January 23rd, 1998 (vol. 279. p. 563), IGF-I was called the key factor

in prostate cancer.

 

There are forty-three thousand species of mammals, and hundreds of

millions of different proteins in nature, and only one hormone in the

entire animal kingdom is an exact match between two species. That

hormone is IGF-I.

 

The latest scientific confirmation was published in the July issue of

the British Journal of Cancer (p 95-97, Volume 83, Number 1, July

2000). Researchers at the Imperial Cancer Research Institute in Oxford

found that a diet without meat or dairy products could reduce the risk

of contracting prostate cancer. The authors cite earlier studies

suggesting that high levels of IGF-I play a key role in causing prostate

cancer. Vegetarians have lower levels of IGF-I than meat eaters, and

vegans have lower levels of IGF-I than vegetarians.

 

Prostate cancer is a killer, and Mayor Giuliani's cancer is shared by

millions of Americans. The dairy industry recently selected New York

Yankee manager Joe Torre as a model for a milk mustache ad. Giuliani is

a New York Yankee fan, and often appears with Joe. These two " heros " of

New York share a common disease and should share a common therapy:
