DESCRIPTION: The largest study to date on poultry workers found a significantly increased risk of dying from penile cancer, thought to be due to exposure to oncogenic (cancer-causing) chicken viruses, which raise consumer concerns as well. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/poultry-and-penis-cancer/ and I’ll try to answer it! The previous slaughterhouse worker study I refer to is here: Wart Cancer Viruses In Food (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/wart-cancer-virusesin-food/). There was also a study suggesting a relationship between cervical cancer and the viruses in meat (Pets & Human Lymphoma – http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pets-human-lymphoma/), but this is the first time I’ve seen penile cancer studied in this context. If there are so many viruses in chickens, don’t they get into the eggs? That’s tomorrow’s video-of-the-day! See the previous two days’ videos, Chicken Dioxins, Viruses, or Antibiotics (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chicken-dioxins-viruses-or-antibiotics/) and EPIC Findings on Lymphoma (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/epic-findings-on-lymphoma/) for a discussion of meat lymphoma risk. (Not to mention the hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects – http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).<

Chicken increases risk for "cock" cancer. If this wasn't coming from a doctor this would sound like a story from The Onion.
