I just did such a search, Susan, and came up with the not surprising
info that there is a strong correlation between hperinsulinemia,
excess IGF-1, and cancer, generally....

Here is one link to a research project in which that conclusion is
clearly supported. This writeup appears in the August, 2005, issue of
Gastroenterology, published by the American Gastroenterological
Association. The study concluded that "levels of IGF-1 (insulin-like
growth factor), ratio of IGF-1/IGFBP-3 (Insulin-like growth factor
binding protein), and insulin are asssociated with adenomas and even
more so with advanced adenomas."

Bad news for T-2s, men and women, I submit, and all the more reason to
control our diabetes.
