As to your post- re: some do not agree with the prion theory as relates to Alzheimer's-
First off- your link- citing those who not believe the theory comes from US Beef-
Of course cattle ranchers would have an interest in foisting off the blame elsewhere. If people
knew the truth, they might not eat beef - then where would Mc D's and Burger King be? Not to mention
the cattle ranchers who are fighting the info- tooth and prion... er nail.
I firmly believe that if truth were known- really known- none of us would eat another quarter pounder.
That aside, your 'source' is 1997- too old to be applied to information in this area. IOW- DATED.
