You are right, its all theory until proven. Lets follow the trail of facts. 180000 positive BSE tests from British cows. 132 human cases of vCJD, almost all British citizens. European Bse cases outside of Britian primarily British exports or consumed British meat and bone meal. Human vCJD outside of Britian only in countries that were importing beef from Britian. Human vCJD began showing up 3 or 4 years after flail-type mechanical deboners went into use in early 1990's. Those mechanical deboned products are high in nerve tissue(this process is used in U.S. as well). In mid 90's bovine byproducts were being shipped to other European countries for use in poultry feeds. In late 90's, Italian ingredient companies were indicted for selling British meat and bonemeal to Japan and calling it Italian origin, Japan was feeding this "safe" bovine product to their cows. In 2001, Japan found BSE positive cows just as predicted 4 years earlier. In Britian, after control efforts removed the BSE cattle from the food chain, the number of vCJD cases dropped to near 0 on schedule. None of the facts have been proven to be related, but would you bet they aren't?</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p> <a href="mailto:jcoover@chanuteks.com">jcoover@chanuteks.com</a></p></blockquote><p></p>
