DESCRIPTION: Avian leukosis/sarcoma virus has been found in 14% of retail egg samples. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at ‪http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/carcinogenic-retrovirus-found-in-eggs/ and I'll try to answer it! But who eats raw eggs? It's probably more a problem of cross-contamination before they're cooked. See Total Recall (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/total-recall/). For info on viruses in poultry, see the last three days of videos: EPIC Findings on Lymphoma (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/epic-findings-on-lymphoma/), Chicken Dioxins, Viruses, or Antibiotics (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chicken-dioxins-viruses-or-antibiotics/), and Poultry and Penis Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/poultry-and-penis-cancer/). And as always, there are hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/). The retail egg survey is open access, so feel free to download it by clicking on the link above in the Sources Cited section.
