might be a better strategy.
I understand that Cordain isn't arguing that the drugs work -- but he 
mentions that the FDA has approved trials recently to support his contention that 
blocking EGF is desirable -- and what may be even better is to not stimulate an 
excess in the first place by not eating dairy. 

Since betacelullin is a hormone -- does anyone know if it would be found 
primarily in the dairy fat?  I ask because while I have no issues with abstaining 
entirely from dairy -- my husband does continue to eat small amounts of 
cheese, daily whey protein drinks (!), occassional ice-cream, butter and heavy cream 
in his morning coffee!  (He has very low body fat and is very muscular -- his 
job is active and he works out primarily using high intensity interval 
training combined with a lot of Matt Furey exercises -- husband was a wrestler when 
he was young so he likes all those neck bridges etc.)

Hubby is in his mid-50s and like most men, concerned about prostate cancer -- 
so the purported dairy/prostate cancer link piqued his interest.
