- Despite confirming the virus in nine states and over 30 herds, the actual scope of spread remains ambiguous due to insufficient testing.
- Researchers express concerns about potential public health implications, the infectivity of the virus in milk, and its transmission. Only one human infection has been officially recorded amid the ongoing outbreak.
- Experts hold differing views on the human risks as the virus persists among cows. The mutation possibility poses a potential threat to human health.

Best Food for Healthy Breasts: All part of a healthy diet, these foods also have antioxidants or compounds that can keep your body strong and healthy ...
webmd.com/women/ss/best-foods-healthy-breasts
Quick Glance: Nutrition for Strong Breasts
- Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and cabbage are rich in vitamins A and C, acting as antioxidants that can reduce the risk of breast cancer. It is recommended to sauté or blanch these vegetables to retain the maximum nutrients. Additionally, antioxidants should be obtained from food rather than supplements.
- Flax seeds have more lignans than any other food and are high in omega-3 fatty acids. These plant compounds contain fiber and the antioxidant phytoestrogen, which may prevent the formation of estrogen-stimulated breast cancer. It is advised to incorporate flax seeds (not flaxseed oil) into yogurt, oatmeal, salads, soups, smoothies, and muffins.
- Turmeric has been used for centuries to combat inflammation and early research suggests it may have two significant benefits in fighting breast cancer. Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, could potentially halt breast cancer spread and reduce chemotherapy damage. However, further research is necessary to validate these findings in human subjects.
- Foods such as tomatoes, carrots, and sweet potatoes contain carotenoids, which are converted into vitamin A and may lower the risk of certain types of breast cancer. However, more research is required to confirm this potential connection.

- Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'
