These three categories of key drivers collectively create momentum that affects the progression of the real estate cycle as it passes through one phase and on to the next. [2011] - Don R. Campbell

As you age, your risk of developing and dying from cancer grows every year--until you hit eighty-five or ninety, when, interestingly, your cancer risk begins to drop. In deed, if you don't get cancer by a certain age, you may never get it. What accounts for this relative resistance to cancer among centenarians? It may have to do with a cancer-promoting growth hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). The release of IGF-1 appears to be triggered by the consumption of animal protein. Vegetarians who include eggs and dairy in their diets don't seem to achieve a significant reduction in IGF-1. Only men and women who limit their intake of all animal proteins appear able to significantly drop their levels of the cancer-promoting hormone and raise their levels of the protective binding proteins. [2015] - Michael Greger
