[Todos] [Todos en bg] [Alumnos] La leche argentina produce cáncer de colon, mamas y prósta

[Pablo M. De Biase]

Bueno en general las notas de diarios no poseen citas a publicaciones
cientificas. Para los escepticos abajo un articulo que afirma que IGF-1 no
es digerida por el sistema digestivo y es facilmente absorbido por el
intestino. Es sabido que no necesariamente todas las proteinas son
digeridas en nuestro tracto digestivo como los priones. Este articulo no
es una publicacion cientifica pero lo escribio el autor de las
publicaciones cientificas que aparecen abajo del articulo. Me pregunto, es
posible conseguir en argentina productos lacteos organicos? Yo no he
visto. Aparentamente, lo que se produce se exporta al primer mundo y
nosotros consumimos lo que los paises del primer mundo no quieren
consumir. Creo que deberia legislarse sobre esto. Obligando a poner en los
productos si son transgenicos, si han sido tratados con pesticidas,
herbicidas, hormonas de crecimiento artificial, y toda cosa antinatural
abriria el mercado interno a productos alimenticios de mejor calidad
(organicos) para nuestra poblacion. Esta es una discusion que debe
iniciarse en las universidades ante todo. Por eso envie este articulo a la
lista. Cuantos sabiamos de esto antes? Es nuestra ignorancia y falta de
concientizacion (de todos los argentinos en general) lo que hace tambien
que no haya legislacion al respecto y no haya productos organicos en
nuestro mercado.

aca va parte de lo que dice:

"European nations and Canada have banned rBGH to protect citizens from
IGF-1 hazards.
Q. How does rBGH milk containing IGF-1, affect, humans?
A. After the rBGH milk is consumed, IGF-1 is not destroyed by human
digestion. Instead, IGF-1 is readily absorbed across the intestinal wall.
Additional research has shown that it can be absorbed into the bloodstream
where it can effect other hormones.
Q. Is IGF-1 likely to increase the risk of specific kinds of cancer? A. It
is highly likely that IGF-1 promotes transformation of normal breast cells
to breast cancers. In addition, IGF-1 maintains the malignancy of human
breast cancer cells, including their invasiveness and ability to spread to
distant organs. (Increased levels of IGF-1 have similarly been associated
with colon and prostate cancers.) The prenatal and infant breast is
particularly susceptible to hormonal influences. Such imprinting by IGF-1
may increase future breast cancer risks, and may also increase the
sensitivity of the breast to subsequent unrelated risks such as
mammography and the carcinogenic and estrogen-like effects of pesticide
residues in food, particularly in pre-menopausal women."

Unlabeled Milk from Cows Treated with Biosynthetic Growth Hormones: A Case
of Regulatory Abdication
Samuel S. Epstein
Abstract:
Levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) are substantially elevated
and more bioactive in the milk of cows hyperstimulated with the
biosynthetic bovine growth hormones rBGH, and are further increased by
pasteurization. IGF-1 is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, as
evidenced by marked growth-promoting effects even in short-term tests in
mature rats, and absorption is likely to be still higher in infants.
Converging lines of evidence incriminate IGF-1 in rBGH milk as a potential
risk factor for both breast and gastrointestinal cancers.
