DESCRIPTION: Sharing one's home with a cat or dog may decrease the risk of infectious diseases in children, including ear infections, respiratory illnesses, and gastroenteritis. That's Lilly at the beginning—is she a cutie-pie or what?!
 
Protection from respiratory infections and tummy ailments is one thing, but what about cancer? See my video Pets & Human Lymphoma (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pets-human-lymphoma/). Of course it's best if you don't eat them—see my last video Foodborne Rabies (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/foodborne-rabies/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-cats-or-dogs-more-protective-for-childrens-health/ and he'll try to answer it!
