As far as mad cow disease, I saw on the news that they said it is the brain, and brain stem and spinal cord of the cow that contains the disease NOT the muscle of the meat that we eat.


I always heard the artificial sweetners are bad bad bad. I'm lucky I hate diet anything!! I actually very rarely drink reg. coke.

As for just the brain and spinal cord that carry mad cow, according to that book I read, That is what the british government told everyone, then years down the road people there started dying from it. So I'm not sure I would believe everything you hear. They really don't know a whole lot about it yet, All I know is Britian now tests EVERY cow to be slaughtered there, we don't do that here and we SHOULD!! Cows don't have to be sick to have mad cow, it shows up in them years down the road just like us. Don't be suprised if years down the road we have some people coming down with mad cow.
