Mad Cow/CJD - Staggering List Of Products Made From Cattle\

In light of the potentially catastrophic spread of Mad Cow/nvCJD prions worldwide (UN WHO statement) throughout the food chain and environment, and my continuing call for completely new, mandatory universal medical/dental sterilization protocols - including the absolute cessation of the reuse of all invasive instruments and equipment - this incredible list will come as quite a surprise to many. I've broken most of the items down into Medical, Food, and General/Industrial categories to facilitate a grasp of the enormity of the use of animal products in our lives and the potential vectors of Mad Cow/CJD prions. This categorization is not necessarily complete; there are some consumables which are not listed in FOOD, for example, but the general point of the list is simple: just because one doesn't eat meat or dairy, doesn't mean one is necessarily safe from potential exposure to Mad Cow prions and contaminated/infected products from cattle. With the recent discovery in the UK that tonsils of BSE/TSE infected individuals contain the Mad Cow/CJD killer prions, one wonders if other body tissues might be similar repositories. One also ponders the ongoing and bizarre issue of mass cattle and other animal mutilations and wonders whether this is some kind of monitoring process to track the spread of environmental decay and toxicity...and prion diseases. From anti-aging creams to surgical sutures to chocolate milkshakes and marshmallows...we have injected animal products from cattle, sheep, and hogs into nearly every corner of our lives. Behold...

Z--

Aren't you at all concerned about prions? They seem pretty nasty things to me.

I certainly never thought there was bone as a whitener in sugar nor animal products in the adhesive on band-aids. Wild.

Wow, it's nice to see so little of the cow is wasted! And up to this point I thought cattle were so damn worthless (other than for great steaks, leather belts, handbags, and boots). I'm glad so little of the bovine is wasted, unlike the minds at peta....

-- Big Mac attack (carnivores@are.us), December 27, 2000.

Good point there, Big Mac!

Remember how great the Indians were for using every part of the buffalo? Well look how Earth-friendly our current society is, we use even MORE of the cow.

I assume there is no transmission of mad-cow disease to humans in India because cows are holy there and are not eaten.

Worried about prions? Compared to what? Enteric bacteria in vegetables, Y2K, a tax protester with an AK-47 who walks into an office and shoots people:

No my first priority of worry would be the folks who got their first 4 x4 this year and feel that they can drive at 70 on the ice. So far I have avoided them, but they haven't avoided the ditch, the creek, etc. 8<))

Well, the ads for SUV's _are_ accurate. They go just fine. The problem is they don't stop any better than anything else.

Sure, compare prions to whatever. Where do they rank ?

-- Pam (Pam@j.o.e), December 27, 2000.

Pam:

Based on the publically available information, and what I know through informal channels; very low. This could be real; but most of what has been posted is trash. Species specificity has not been tested. So I don't have an answer. There is no answer and anyone who tells you that there is; well that person is not competent.

For me, tomorrow is roast prime rib with Yorkshire pudding. That answers the question for me.

Z,

Dude, do as I do (if you can). Stay inside and let all the idiots with the new SUV's wreck. Then after the first couple of days venture out and they should all be gone.
