Low protein intake is associated with a major reduction in IGF-1, cancer, and overall mortality in the 65 and younger but not older population

Mice and humans with growth hormone receptor/IGF-1 deficiencies display major reductions in age-related diseases. Because protein restriction reduces GHR-IGF-1 activity, we examined links between protein intake and mortality. Respondents aged 50-65 reporting high protein intake had a 75% increase in...
