DESCRIPTION: Plant-based diets may be protective against multiple sclerosis because IGF-1 may prevent our immune system from eliminating autoimmune cells. This is the third video in a series on understanding the autoimmune theory of cancer outlined in Monday's video Cancer as an Autoimmune Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-as-an-autoimmune-disease/), followed up with Tuesday's video-of-the-day Clonal Selection Theory of Immunity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/clonal-selection-theory-of-immunity/). For the story of how dietary manipulation of IGF-1 may affect cancer risk, see The Answer to the Pritikin Puzzle (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-answer-to-the-pritikin-puzzle/) and How Plant-Based to Lower IGF-1? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-plant-based-to-lower-igf-1/). IGF-1 also appears to affect prostate gland growth. See Some Prostates are Larger than Others (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/some-prostates-are-larger-than-others/), Prostate Versus Plants (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prostate-versus-plants/), and Prostate Versus a Plant-Based Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prostate-versus-a-plant-based-diet/). Tomorrow we'll finally get around to the star of this video series, The Inflammatory Meat Molecule Neu5Gc (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-inflammatory-meat-molecule-neu5gc/).
