Default How mad cow disease may have gotten into your hamburger, hot dogs and pizza toppings

It's not unknown, apparently, for people who have died of alzheimers to
also be showing some CJD-like pathology. They probably have heart
disease too ....

Some people said 10's of millions (a vegetarian professor of
microbiology for example).

Actually about 170,000 clinical cases of BSE,
probably about a million counting sub-clinical cases.

>They had a couple of deaths there.


Under 150 over 10 years, about 20/year in a population of 60M.

This is normal. It so easy to sell copy by producing scare stories
written by ignorant journalists for an ignorant and fearful population
that they seem to find it irresistible.

I do hope someone sues a few newspapers,
there would be a cheer from across the water.
