Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hello Valarie, Yes the carbs in Rice dream - 8 fluid oz.(240)mL) = 26 grams of carbohydrate. They do have the " light " versions which I have tried. And they are not bad. As ar as the blood giving goes. Yes the CJD - Creutzfeld Jacob Syndrome. CJD is a variant of a disease in sheep called Scrapie. It often, but not always, mimics Alzhiemers as a diminished mental capacity is a symptom. So many have it but go undiagnosed 15 years for incubation. Here are some Gov. facts - " Epidemiology of vCJD and BSE Notice to readers: The information below was published in Health Information for International Travel: 2005-2006. The case information and other statistics may have changed since the date of publication. Description Since 1996, strong evidence has accumulated for a causal relationship between ongoing outbreaks in Europe of a disease in cattle called bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, or " mad cow disease " ) and a disease in humans called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). Both disorders, which are caused by an unconventional transmissible agent, are invariably fatal brain diseases with unusually long incubation periods, which are measured in years. Transmission of the BSE agent to humans, leading to vCJD, is believed to occur via ingestion of cattle products contaminated with the BSE agent; however, the specific foods associated with this transmission are unknown. Bioassays have identified the BSE agent in the brain, spinal cord, retina, dorsal root ganglia, distal ileum, and bone marrow of cattle experimentally infected by the oral route, suggesting that these tissues represent the highest risk of transmission. " Cow bone marrow also make blood cells so if its in the marrow its in the blood which nourishes every aspect of the living cow just as ours does the Human. Gov. doesnt want to scare folks from eating factory beef. So they make you put the peices of the puzzle together on youyr own. But all the peices are there so its not hard to do! lol. So they know its in the human blood stream of people who have consumed tainted beef. (England and Europe) They also know that as the incubation period is so long, you can have it and not know it. So they make these rules to keep it from spreading. At least through that vector. Go to a restaurant and eat a factory farmed beef steak, where the factory has been feeding sick cow beef to healthy cows and then you can get it. Course you dont know where or which factory is doing this and there is virtually no oversight therefore the risk is high. Same goes for the milk and cheese and all dairy products as these techniques have been used on the dairy cattle as well. I rread of a case of a man who was killed by CJD very quickly in a matter of about a year. He would consume beef from the vendor at the racetrack. Did it every time he went. It was proven that he did indeed die oof a CJD oriented, BSE human equivalent disease and he is listed as one of the few that the gov. has decided to list. Lots of economical pressure for this information " not " to be released by the billion dollar cattle industries, so dont expect to read about it in your paper or see on the news. So I propmote organic grass fed beef and I do a little research about it. Though I must say it has been awhile since I have had beef and only as a necessity from a can of chili. Desperite times = desperite measures.lol Also I try for the veggie caps instead of the bpovine collogen caps that can carry the prion protean responsible for this disease. So this is just an fyi. Kundalini can handle any physical ailment. It is the High Self that will determine what you need to learn from any physical ailment that comes your way. Sometimes this means succumbimg to it. Sometimes this means moving right through it! I suugest being a conscious consumer and make the best chpoices you can for the betterment of all species. It is a good thing to be aware of what you eat. Where it comes from. How it is grown. How it is harvested. If it is an animal - how was it killed? We are responsible for what we consume. Choose wisely. - , " vjvousden " <vjvousden wrote: > > Thank you for putting a light on that topic, chrism. It wasn't too > long or scary enough really.
