SPEAKING OF MEAT... BAD NEWS FOR MAD COWS

Mad Cow disease may be far more widespread than scientists had previously

thought. This week the journal Science revealed that prions, the mysterious

misshapen proteins that are responsible for spreading the fatal disease, may be

found throughout the infected animal, contrary to prior theories. Researchers

from Zurich, the Institute of Neurology in London, and Yale University School of

Medicine confirmed study results showing prions are not restricted to areas of

the animal body like the spinal column, nervous tissue and the brain, but may

also exist in muscle tissue (the meat). This means that infected meat and blood

may be currently entering the human food supply, at least in countries such as

the United States, Canada, and Mexico, where comprehensive, universal testing

for the disease is not required. Given the serious public health implications of

these findings, researchers are calling on the global community to take action.
