Mad cow disease infecting humans in the U.S.A more than recognised?

January 23, 2004 Off By leigh

A very well researched, referenced and written article by an M.D., Michael Greger, on the argument that sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease could be the result of BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) transfer similar to variant CJD, which is known to be caused by BSE infection. Sporadic CJD is much more wide-spread than the variant form, with many cases reported in the U.S. and many misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s disease.
