- ffxfire 8y agoThe research article you linked to is for sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, not variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Sporadic CJD has no link to brain consumption. Honestly there’s a lot of fear mongering in this thread about brain consumption...if anything it’s healthy for you. The main issues are most likely when the animal eaten has participated in cannibalism. For example, Cows were fed bovine blood meal which is what led to the Mad Cow scare, kuru is caused by cannabilistic human tribes, squirrels are known to be cannibalistic, etc. Lamb/sheep don’t participate in cannibalism. No need for unnecessary fearmongering
