About 37% of breast cancer cases can be linked to bovine leukemia virus.
The breast cancer case continues growth all around the world. In the US it is organized up to a 40% increase in disease by the end of the century. Currently, the main way to prevent death is early detection and treatment. That’s important, but why not focus more on primary prevention—protecting people from risk factors so they don’t develop breast cancer at all?
“In general, it is is assumed that 20 percent of all human cancers are infectious.” Viruses can trigger cancer by turning on cancer genes or turning off cancer suppressor genes, but they can also promote tumor formation simply by causing chronic inflammation. Currently, viruses cause cancer review “A major rationale hypothesis for the direct causation of human breast cancer.” How did we get here?
It all started nearly 40 years ago when he was a professor of virology at UC Berkeley learned how the mammary tumor virus appeared in mice. Scientists swapped baby mouse pups from mothers with mammary cancer to babies of a mouse strain with a low incidence and found that the cancer in the pups matched the mothers they were raised with, not their biology – suggesting it was not genetic. “It occurred to me that humans are bred in cows,” said the professor.
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) was new was determined as the bovine cancer virus. At the time, only about 10% of US dairy cows were infected, but now it’s closer to half. At first, 66 percent of herds were damaged. Then, it was more than 80%, based on testing their milk for the virus and 100% of herds in large industrial farms. And now, over 94% of US herds damagedcontinuing the historical trend of BLV within the US dairy herd steadily increasing.
We have known for a long time that people in countries that to consume more milk has a higher incidence of breast cancer. However, as you can see below and at 2:32 in my video, Bovine leukemia virus as a cause of breast cancerthe relationship between milk consumption and breast cancer no only at the country level.
Individual women who are lactose intolerant and to consume Less milk also appears to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Milk contains many things that can contribute to cancer risk, such as saturated fat and the presence of cancer growth hormones such as IGF-1.
Yes, we know the bovine leukemia virus is found in beef and dairy products. Almost half of the milk and meat samples rotation positive for the virus. In fact, you can sample virus directly from the air in dairy farms, on the ground and in the milk itself. Most milk is pasteurized, but many dairy products, such as raw and aged cheeses, are not pasteurized. And who is not ate a pink-in-the-middle hamburger at some point in their lives?
Yes, we have proof that people exposed to the virus. Yes, we have evidence that people are active getting infected and getting sick with the coronavirus. But we were only in 2015 learned The level of infection was the highest in breast cancer tissue, as you can see below and at 3:30 in me video.
So, up to 37% of breast cancer cases May related to exposure to the bovine leukemia virus.
This was enough for me to make a series of videos about the role of the virus in breast cancer and how the meat and dairy industry reacted to this news. What is the latest update? This is what I will wear next.
Dr.’s comment
You may remember that I discussed earlier The role of bovine leukemia in breast cancer and Industry response to bovine leukemia virus in breast cancer.
Stay tuned for the next video: Breast cancer and bovine leukemia virus in meat and milk.
