DESCRIPTION: The majority of U.S. dairy herds are infected with a cancer-causing virus, but until recently, human testing for exposure was not sufficiently sensitive.

Sorry for the cliffhanger—I just wanted to get everyone up to speed. Stay tuned for The Role of Bovine Leukemia in Breast Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-role-of-bovine-leukemia-virus-in-breast-cancer) and Industry Response to Bovine Leukemia Virus in Breast Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/industry-response-to-bovine-leukemia-virus-in-breast-cancer). I think you’ll agree they’re worth the wait!

Thankfully, feline leukemia virus does not appear to be transmissible: Pets & Human Lymphoma (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pets-human-lymphoma/).
