From a consumer standpoint, milk and milk products
were regarded as safe up till now. But this situation
could change, since a team of scientists from the
biotechnology firm Alicon AG, headquartered at
Schlieren in Canton Zurich, has managed for the
first time to detect prion proteins in the milk
of human beings, cows, sheep, and goats. Using
Alicon's new technology, prion proteins were even
found in homogenized and pasteurized milk on
supermarket shelves, as reported recently in the
international science journal Public Library of
Science (PLoS ONE)(1).

I drink lots of milk, but.. cow milk is for calves.

Milk takes about 4 hours to leave the stomach
vegetables take about 30 mins to leave the stomach

On a hot day.. say about 99 degrees.. try putting a glass of milk outside
for about 4 hours then smell it. <G>

I don't drink milk at all. In fact, I use powdered nondairy creamer in my
coffee. For some reason, milk always has a "soured" edge on it, to me. On
the other hand I love cheese, sourcream, and yogurt.

Well, if you're going to go on about it, at least go back to the
source article, which was published last December:

http://www.plosone.org/article/fetch...e.0000071#n101

Alicon, but golly, just so happens to manufacture not only a test to
detect prion proteins, but the "Alicon PrioTrap® can also be applied
for elimination of prion protein from milk." Gosh, surprise, a means
of removing those very same proteins.

It is an interesting discovery certainly, and also one which, IF it
proves true AND relevant to TSE and BSE and vCJ detection, might make
the company quite wealthy.

So you only drink human breast milk...?
'Tis awfully sweet for my taste...

Goat milk? That would just be for kids...
