User:Sudo Edith/Bovine Meat and Milk Factors

Bovine Meat and Milk Factors (BMMF) refer to DNA segments in beef and milk that could be responsible for the generation of cancer (especially colon and breast cancer). Proponents of this hypothesis include Harald zur Hausen and Ethel-Michele de Villiers, of the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. There hypothesis is based on analyses of epidemiological data and antibodies in human serum. There could also be a relationship to neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis.
