DESCRIPTION: Arsenic-containing drugs intentionally added to poultry feed to reduce the parasite burden and pinken the meat are apparently converted by cooking into carcinogenic inorganic arsenic compounds.

I’ve previously address this in my video Arsenic in Chicken (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/arsenic-in-chicken/). Nice to see some progress made!

The antibiotics the poultry industry continues to feed chickens present another public health hazard. See my videos

Cooking may also create other carcinogens from the muscle itself:

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-many-cancers-have-been-caused-by-arsenic-laced-chicken/ and he’ll try to answer it!
