Researchers have also learned that the cancer-causing chemicals that form in beef as it cooks also tend to form in chicken. Sadly, Gillette's experience is not unique. Never mind that the bulk of the fat in Starbucks's beverages comes from the milk -- yes, milk ! -- of another species. How sick and twisted is that.
