Guest guest Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Hi All, The pdf-available below may be more of interest to those of us who are less inclined to worry about minor risks to health, but maybe more may like the title's " Alzheimer's, Creutzfeldt-Jakob and Mad Cow disease: the age-related reemergence of virulent, foodborne, bovine tuberculosis or losing your mind for the sake of a shake or burger. " " there is three times the risk of developing Alzheimer's in meat eaters as opposed to vegetarians " ? " Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and to a lesser extent Creutzfeldt–Jakob or the other types of senile or presenile mental deterioration ought to be recognized as one of the most urgent problems of public health and welfare today. It is only human nature when confronted with diseases as terrible at Creutzfeldt–Jakob and progressive Alzheimer's that something new or unknown and terrible must be involved and many scientists feed into such expectations, but sometimes the answer is as simple as yesteryears' epidemics and, you might just say, losing one's mind for the sake of a shake or a burger.
