Mad Cow Disease - It's about cheap feed and cattle cannibalism

"I'm the guy that killed that mad cow. I killed that cow Dec.9. It was processed into hamburger along with 50 other cows and shipped to 8 states and was eaten by 1000's of people. Some of those people will contract BSE and die." -Dave Louthan

Dave Louthan is the guy who killed the first cow in the U.S. (Dec. 2003) that tested positive for BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy).  BSE is linked to a similar form of the incurable and fatal brain-wasting disease in humans, called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, or vCJD

BSE is a result of "cattle cannibalism";  simply put: cows eating cows.  Or worse, cows eating chicken manure !!!  See CNN article  

The U.S. government has put enforcement actions banning this type of feed.  See FDA update  So, is this ban working?  Well, the FDA update was posted on Sep. 30, 2003.  Two months later, Dave Louthan kills the first mad cow in the U.S. on Dec. 9, 2003.  Back to the question: is this ban working?  You be the judge.

Now for the really-really scary part... prions are implicated in BSE

"Prion" stands for "proteinaceous infectious particle".  A prion is a protein naturally produced in nerve cells and other cells... these are healthy prions.  The rogue prions from BSE forces the healthy prions to change shape.  Neurological damage results.

Humans might be infected by prions in 2 ways:

1. Infection by means of diet or medical procedures.

2. Hereditary transmission.

The scary part is that prions cannot be destroyed by cooking or burning.  Remember, prions are a protein, not a virus.  When a cow infected by BSE is butchered, the prions remain.  The prions remain on the butcher's saws and tables, even after washing, and will taint other meats passing thru that shop, including organically raised beef !!!

Did you Know?  The Red Delicious apple is the most nutritious apple. Top Story Tue. May 24, 2005

 

Antioxidant is a "substance that inhibits oxidation or inhibits reactions promoted by oxygen or peroxides." Free radicals are a "Short-lived, highly reactive chemicals often derived from oxygen-containing compounds, which can have detrimental effects on cells, especially DNA and cell membranes."

Studies at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada have shown that out of 8 apples*, the Red Delicious is the most nutritious.  All apples are loaded with vitamin C, but researchers have found that the skin of the Red Delicious contains 5 times more antioxidants than the Empire, the last on the list.  Antioxidants help fight cellular damage caused by free radicals.
