I first heard of IGF-1 as an argument for how rBGH makes milk

unhealthy: it makes the milk have higher levels of it, and supposedly

it encourages the growth of tumors. But, since then, I've seen the

amino acid stacking, HGH precursor advocates talk about elevating

IGF-1 levels as being a good thing to do. So, what's the deal with

IGF-1? Does it promote tumors or youth? Is it good or bad?
