People pay thousands of dollars to increase the amount of IGF-1 in their body,
as it normally decreases as one gets older.

I regularly get spam for various products purporting to increase the amount of
IGF-1 in the body.

If milk increased the amount of IGF-1 in the body, you could sell it for $1,000
a gallon to body builders and octogenarians.

PS   And, yes, when people become "anti-" something, then they suspend all
scepticism in regards to any rumor or purported information - as long as it can
be tallied in the "anti-" column....
