Increased bone loss by osteoclasts in the bone formation/loss cycle is caused by decreased Estrogen (menopause in females), lack of Calcium/Vitamin D (unrelated to veggies), smoking (damaged/weakened blood circulation to the spongy bone), and high alcohol consumption (high correlation to reduction in Bone Mass Density and therefore accelerated bone loss).
Other secondary sources of osteoporosis include:
Hyperthyroidism, which yields excess Parathyroid hormone causing excess Calcitriol which causes TOO much bone/Ca absorption (hypercalcemia)
and
Hypothyroidism, which is insufficient Calcitonin which inhibits osteoclasts = again also excess bone resorption.
Nothing from eating "cooked" veggies tells me any benefit in the control points of Osteoporosis. In addition, osteoporosis affects only 2 men per 100 women, due to female menopause.
Can you elaborate your point? I'm not doubting you and I always keep an open mind, but I'd like to be clear on my facts when patients and friends ask me for advice.
As well, IGF-1 is naturally produced by the body for natural growth control - highest when children are in their growing years. If anything, it is one of the main factors in an apoptosis cycle which kills cells. How could this be related to Cancer? Please elaborate.
