Claim: Growth hormones injected into chicken wings cause ovarian cysts in women.

Status: False.


Origins: This Chicken warning about chicken wings causing ovarian cysts first showed up in the snopes.com mailbox in April 2004. It is a tall tale, nothing more, an expression of widespread anxiety concerning animal products and hormones. Agricultural advances of a nature so as to not be well understood by the average person have instilled in us a sense of concern about the foods we eat — we fear that unbeknownst to us what we are ingesting is loaded with substances that are doing us untold amounts of
harm.
