This reminds me of the bovine leukemia virus story with breast cancer. Check that out at:
• Is Bovine Leukemia Virus in Milk Infectious? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-bovine-leukemia-virus-in-milk-infectious/)
• The Role of Bovine Leukemia Virus in Breast Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-role-of-bovine-leukemia-virus-in-breast-cancer/)
• Industry Response to Bovine Leukemia Virus in Breast Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/industry-response-to-bovine-leukemia-virus-in-breast-cancer/)

What about chicken? Check out The Role of Poultry Viruses in Human Cancers (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-role-of-poultry-viruses-in-human-cancers).

More on this concept in my video Eating Outside our Kingdom (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eating-outside-our-kingdom/).
