ok gelatin has nothing to do with the meat from cows, gelatin comes
from the bone. totally different, thats like saying im going to get mad
cows disease from drinking milk. oh and just so you know brown cows
dont produce chocolate milk. lol the company is from britain, but
who knows where they get thier products from, usa brazil or wherever,
also the million cows that would die for this gelatin would have been
dead anyways because of thier meat, im sure altoids company gets a
really good deal considering that they get the bones of the already
dead cows used for meat from the slaughter house.

from other diseased cows, so this rumor could have some validity.
However, according to the USFDA, gelatin is safe to consume so long as "certain
precautions" are taken-- sorry but I don't know the specifics. US residents
need not worry (at least thats what they say) because most of our gelatin is
produced from pigs instead of cows.

females in their late 50's who contracted spongiform encephalapathy. We
tried to determine extensively just how these two next door neighboors
got this same disease only months apart... both with morbid mortality.
We were one step away from alerting the center for infectious diseases
control, etc. As extensive research was conducted, etc. it came down to
only one thing we could place that these two women had ingested as we
had found no other cases of this in this localized region. They had been
sharing an over the counter vitamin/herbal supplement that contained
bovine bone materials that is designed to boost the immune system.
Yes, we confirmed the connection to Bovine spongiform encephalapathy and
this human form of the disease these two patients died from. The jury
is still out on the danger of gelatin and other bone meal products. We
think that simply freeze drying these products into powder form is not
enough to kill the impurities. Jello has come into question as well as
many many other products, as well, the way cattle are being fed.
Typically when a cow would drop dead in the field it was simply scooped
up and put into the grinder for cattle feed... thusly passing on the
disease to the healthy cows.
The number of human cases of these rare strains of encephalapthy in
Great Britain is astounding, prompting the destruction of the cattle
with symptoms BSE. I will have a link for you to do more research.

yes--and the certain precautions are: not ingesting anything contaminated with
the mad cow disease!!! I heard on the network news the other night that they
are now finding that this disease can infect the human body and then hide there
and cause no symptoms until as long as ten years later. So, now the experts
are admitting that the problem could definitely be more widespread than first
thought. Now, that is scary!

where gelatin was produced from animal bones. Although this was years ago,
I believe that the process still involves extensive boiling of the animals'
skeletal remains. Thus "simply freeze drying" is not relevant. If prolonged
exposure to very high temperatures eliminates the pathogens, people need not
fear eating Jello (except that it is yucky to begin with).
Isn't this thread just a serious case of Vegan Spam?

Agreed. But the gelatin in Altoids is most likely from England.
Smudge
But one problem of this disease is that the pathogen is apparently
impervious to conventional sterilization techniques, like radiation, high
temperatures, etc. (see: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/madcow/faces.html).
Also, one hypothesis suggests that the pathogen can replicate without DNA.

Smudge,
Your intentions, while honorable, are woefully mis-placed. We eat meat. All
flavors, all the time. We are perfectly willing to do the 'carcinogenic
smoke' roulette, etc.
But you have a phenominal bit of info re: the source of gelatin vis a vis
the anti-proper-use-of-animal jerks.
Gelatin is the main source of the bonding agent to afix color to thread. Get
it? Those morons denouncing the animal hunt in Merry Ol' are wearing
clothes, the color of which could not have been achieved without the demise
of pigs. The main source of gelatin.

small" quantities would not lead to infection would be unwise due to the
fact that scientists do not yet know what amounts of BSE-containing gelatin
cause infection in humans. Also, as you mentioned, the fact that the
gelatin contained in Altoids is from pork and not beef does not allow you to
conclude that it is not capable of harboring the disease. It is very
important during the extraction of the gelatin-creating cartilidge or bone
matter that there is no cross contamination of the good stuff with the bad
stuff. An since conventional sterilization techniques do not destroy the
pathogen, we can't be sure that it's safe.

Right. Your cells make a normal non-infectious form of the protein, and
prion is capable for folding the normal protein into a prion form. As far
as I can recall, you get disease from this prion building up in your brain
cells so that the cells can no longer function and die. Prion and the
normal protein both come from the same DNA sequence, so they have the same
exact amino sequence, only the folding is different.

guess I'm confused because IIRC you've posted that you live in Galveston,
and as far as I know, there have been no documented cases of BSE in the
US. If there have been, I'd think it would be all over the news and that
the CDC would be issuing reports. And if these cases occured in Galveston,
I'd expect (and hope) to be hearing from the Texas Department of Health.

The cows that were slaughtered were burned, AFAIK, and I reckon that
unless gelatine is made from brains then you're OK to eat Altoids.
Besides, I thought they made them from horses. ;-)

rendered meat by products... which go into altoids. The "knackers" as
they put it are small farming renderers who do not use the proper
temperature for the boiling process. Local farmers purchase the protien
mix from the bottom of the rendering pot to feed livestock with it,
including pigs. As well, the top and mid sections of the rendering pot
(gelatin and fatty acids) are sold to large rendering plants who simply
mix it in the whole batch and sell it off to companies.
What goes in the rendering pot: cats, dogs, pork, deer, fowl, sheep,
anything they pick up, misfortunate workers who slip, etc.! Skin,
feathers, hoofs, fur, spinal cords, heads, and all.
The tonsil and the appendix can be examined for prion contamination,
only one case will represent the infection of 50,000 people. UK has yet
to release their findings.
The fact that the gelatin in Altoids comes from pork is no assurance it
is free of the contamination as ALL of the fatty acids get mixed very
nicely in the vat. What is fowl, what is bovine, what is pork is no
longer distinquishable. And yes, the food you are feeding your furry
little house pets (cats and dogs) comes from the bottom of the that
sludge in the rendering tank. There has been concern as cats and dogs
are put into the rendering pot, it is creating cannibalism which makes a
species prone to variant strains of BSE. Even fish in fish farms are
being fed this "protien" from the bottom of the rendering pot in hopes
that there will be a species barrier. They are just watching to see
what happens.
Recently in the US several sheep and deer have been found to have
variant strains of BSE and now a ban (as of this month) has been put on
the inclusion of wild deer into the rendering pot or use for feed
products.
As well... cosmetics are made from these "fatty acids" as well as many
medical products. And yes, the human variant of BSE (Creutzfeldt-Jakob)
can live and incubate inside the body for 10-30 years.
Hey, if you don't believe me simply go down to a large cosmetic
manufacturing plant and apply for a job... as well go on down to a local
rendering plant and apply for a job there too. You will see. This is a
very interesting "cosmetic" related issue.
Marlene Eskin
offered that the deaths she referred to were caused by Creutzfeldt-Jakob, an
incurable neurological disease as is bovine spongiform encephalapathy (BSE).
There is no proof connecting Creutzfeldt-Jakob and BSE, though a number of
scientists think there IS a relationship.
Use your own best judgement about ingesting gelatin and other such byproducts.

The PBS Nova special on this (admittedly dated by now) focuses on bonemeal and
the exposure of people who did gardening -many of the original "victims" in
Britain had this in common. Also, that special did not indicate that any
conventional heat treatment was effective in altering the prions.

No, it's lack of Viagra.... after all, something that doesn't work
usually gets people mad!
Also, when the Ohio Express did "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy," Pfizer had not
yet invented sildenafil citrate. On a related topic, ever notice how
Bob Dole always looks like he's sucking on a lemon? Prime evidence of
Mad Co** Disease! <grin/duck>

OK, now, two can sling mud if you want...
Ever note that the medical terms that begin with "hystero" (meaning
the uterus) have the same word root as "hysteria?" I can't blame
them... if I was to have a hysteroscopy, I might be a little freaked
out about it. <grin/duck>
It also feeds into "hysteresis" (from the Greek word for "late").
The ancient Greeks were smart enough to make the connections between
women, their internal plumbing, and their typical adherence to
schedules. <grin/duck>
PS: As I was told by a co-worker (female): They had to call it PMS,
because "mad cow disease" was already taken! (She has FMS and PMS so
bad she asked her doctor for opiates... which her doctor graciously
turned down. Nothing stronger than Celebrex.)

Help me out here, folks. There were people on this newsgroup who were looking
forward to the return of this? When will the racial slurs begin again?
Just like Ted fandom, I can't understand it (unless your news server is

As there are those who enjoy Rush Limbaugh... after all, it was

The proper term is "human Muppet." <grin/duck>
Or, as one of my brother's little friends (who only knew one word for
"newborn") referred to me with the term "puppy." After noticing my
eyes were open, he then said, "You'll be able to play with him in a
couple of weeks."

From the testament of alternative belief, I offer the following
explanation:
"Yea, for all of thy past transgressions, thou shalt spend a multiplicity
of years perusing the words of a false profit. At such time as thee
findeth compassion in thy heart for him that suffers Bad Pun Disease,
shalt thou be released from thy punishment. Yea, verily, it is so."

The latest revision of Chapter 21 of the Texas Penal Code removed
penalties for what Texas law defines as "deviate sexual intercourse"
(Section 21.01) except for gays (Section 21.08).

Now I suppose you want us to believe you've actually had sexual intercourse,
deviate, "MUPPET", CPAP or otherwise.

Having worked in an ER for four years, I can attest to this! I had one patient
come in with third degree burns to her foot -- she was making chocolate chip
pancakes, and flipped one, and a hot chip went flying out and onto her foot!
Even a sweet, lovable confection can cause great pain.

catches your attention... and you think "She's opened a branch outside

It's better than that Charles - in the Akron area if you call information and
ask for Jo Ann Fabrics - they give you the Exclusively Jo Ann phone number -
you can believe I get a lot of angy people when they find out they have a
cosmetic number - not a fabric number - but then some are delighted. Yesterday
a lady popped in looking for fabric and walked out with fragrance - hope they
don't change the listing this year!
Their corporate headquarters is right next door to Akron also!
