Breast cancer preventionThe University of Minnesota (USA) and McGill University in Montreal (Canada) conducted experiments on mice. The animals were divided into three groups: the first ate without restrictions, the second was prescribed a periodic diet with a calorie restriction of 25%, the mice from the third group were on a strict diet all the time. As a result, 71% of mice in the first group developed breast cancer, among the mice on strict diet - 35%, and in the group of periodic restriction of caloric intake - only 9%. Such data caused surprise among researchers: after all, it was previously assumed that jumps in caloric intake as a result of periodic diets only provoke tumor growth. Now scientists have concluded that by changing the level of certain hormones and lowering insulin concentrations, temporary diet is much more effective in preventing and protecting against breast cancers than constant fasting. Excessive overeating leads to hormonal imbalances, fraught with cancer, but fasting is not a panacea. , doctors say. and improving the prognosis of treatment in cancer patients, maintaining a normal body weight is much more important. Periodic diets can reduce the activity of a breast tumor growth factor called IGF-1 and help control blood insulin levels, the doctors concluded.
