A VIRUS IN CATTLE LINKED TO HUMAN BREAST CANCER.
A study has revealed the link between bovine leukemia virus and breast cancer; researchers analyzed breast tissue from 239 women, comparing samples from women who had breast cancer with women who had no history of the disease for the presence of bovine leukemia virus (BLV). They found that 59 percent of breast cancer samples had evidence of exposure to BLV, as determined by the presence of viral DNA. By contrast, 29 percent of the tissue samples from women who never had breast cancer showed exposure to BLV.
Bovine leukemia virus infects dairy and beef cattle's blood cells and mammary tissue. The retrovirus is easily transmitted among cattle primarily through infected blood and milk, but it only causes disease in fewer than 5 percent of infected animals.This is another reason to handle animals,organs and blood with utmost care.

EGGS AND BREAST CANCER.
The values of eggs cannot be overemphasized as they impact every system of the body to ensure development.
Eggs have been linked to changes in cholesterol levels,but most people dont know the facts;
The cholesterol in egg is the good cholesterol necessary for normal system functions.
The high density lipo protein in eggs are the good cholesterol,individuals with high levels of HDL usually have a lower risk of heart disease,stroke, and other health problems.Egg consumption raises HDL level, which translates to reduced health problems.
This is a good indicator for measurement of health risk.
In 2008,research from the university of North Carolina found that choline present in the yolk can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 24%,an egg contains 125.5mg of choline.
In 2005,another research finding by another group reported that women who ate at least 6 eggs/week have a 44% lower risk of developing breast cancer than women who ate fewer/no eggs.
The research by the Harvard university in 2003 found that eating eggs as an adolescent could prevent breast cancer risk as an adult.
