Up to 37% of breast cancer cases attributable to exposure to bovine leukemia virus? See Is Bovine Leukemia Virus in Milk Infectious? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-bovine-leukemia-virus-in-milk-infectious) and The Role of Bovine Leukemia Virus in Breast Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-role-of-bovine-leukemia-virus-in-breast-cancer).

The meat and dairy industry’s intransigence in the face of a human health threat reminds me of the antibiotics and steroids issues, continuing to place the public at risk to save a few bucks. See, for example, Antibiotics: Agribusinesses’ Pound of Flesh (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/antibiotics-agribusinesses-pound-of-flesh/) and Zeranol Use in Meat and Breast Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/zeranol-use-in-meat-and-breast-cancer).
