{Support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a Scoop
of Ice Cream

Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream and the National Alliance of Breast
Cancer Organizations (NABCO) are uniting to educate
Americans about good breast health during National Breast
Cancer Awareness Month. Through the end of October, Dreyer's
will feature pink ribbons on its Grand Light, No Sugar Added
and Fat Free No Sugar Added ice creams, as well as Frozen
Yogurt, Fat Free Frozen Yogurts and Sherbet.

Consumers who scoop up a carton can help raise up to
$250,000 for NABCO and its nationwide education and
information programs that encourage women to seek early
detection.}

Many people feel that methodologies employed in early
detection (repeated x-ray mammographies) are a leading cause
of breast cancer. Recent studies prove that breast cancer
early detection x-rays do not affect breast cancer incidence
or lessen death rates.

What hurts so much is that the cause is being promoted as
the means to discovering a cure.

Who in their right mind will buy ice cream to prevent breast
cancer? American women, that's who.

Please print this column and make a flyer. Hand it out at
your supermarket. Stick it in somebody's cart or in the
windshield of their car. Place it in the ice cream section.

Twelve pounds of milk are required to produce one pound of
ice cream.

Each sip of cow's milk contains estrogen, which has been
identified as a key factor in promoting breast cancer cell
growth. Milk also contains a powerful growth hormone called
insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I).

There are hundreds of millions of different proteins in
nature, and only one hormone that is identical between any
two species. That powerful growth hormone is IGF-I, and it
is an exact match in the cow's body and the human body.
Drink one glass of cow's milk and a female doubles the
amount of free circulating IGF-I in her body. Eat one
portion of ice cream and one consumes 12 times the amount of
this powerful cancer accelerator. IGF-I survives digestion
and has been identified as the key factor in breast cancer's
growth.

If you believe that breast feeding "works" to protect
lactoferrins and immunoglobulins from digestion (and benefit
the nursing infant), you must also recognize that milk is a
hormonal delivery system. By drinking cow's milk or eating
ice cream, one delivers IGF-I in a bioactive form to the
body's cells. When IGF-I from cow's milk alights upon an
existing cancer...
