DESCRIPTION: The association between poultry and cancer may be explained by the presence in chickens' and turkeys' flesh of industrial carcinogens such as dioxins, oncogenic (cancer-causing) viruses, and/or the drugs that were fed to the birds. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at ‪http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/chicken-dioxins-viruses-or-antibiotics/ and I'll try to answer it! See the "prequel," EPIC Findings on Lymphoma (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/epic-findings-on-lymphoma/), and the one before it on general cancer rates. For more on industrial pollutants in meat, see Vegetarians Versus Healthy Omnivores (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vegetarians-versus-healthy-omnivores/), Harvard's Meat and Mortality Studies (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/harvards-meat-and-mortality-studies/) and Prevention Is Better Than Cured Meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prevention-is-better-than-cured-meat/). For more on cancer-causing viruses, see Breast Cancer Survival, Butterfat, and Chicken (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-butterfat-and-chicken/), Meat Additives to Diminish Toxicity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/meat-additives-to-diminish-toxicity/) and Carcinogens in the Smell of Frying Bacon (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/carcinogens-in-the-smell-of-frying-bacon/). And for more on drug residues in meat, see Drug Residues in Meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/drug-residues-in-meat/). The mass use of antibiotics in chicken feed may also be contributing to the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria (for example, see U.S. Meat Supply Flying at Half Staph - http://nutritionfacts.org/video/u-s-meat-supply-flying-at-half-staph/). There are also hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).
