Assume NO Animal Products Are Safe
Dr. Pat Brown, medical director for the U.S. Public Health Service, speculate that pigs and chickens could be harboring mad cow disease and passing it on to humans.
And while to date no pigs, chickens or turkeys have been reported with the disease, Michael Greger, M.D. of Cornell University says that these animals die so young, "they may not have time to develop symptoms," yet they could act as "silent carriers".
