Wendy N. reviewed Brain Trust : The Hidden Connection Between Mad Cow and Misdiagnosed Alzheimer's Disease on + 177 more book reviews
I read this book in an evening and have already loaned it out to several others. Our government knows how a mad-cow panic would affect the meat industry--it's seen it happen in Canada and the UK--and won't likely disclose the types of information highlighted in this book. The symptoms of brain damage caused by CJD (the human form of mad-cow) closely resemble alzheimer's disease, and autopsies which would reveal the difference aren't covered by medicare, so are rarely performed. Do you eat meat? Then read this book and decide for yourself whether the huge amount of evidence presented in it should be better publicized.
