If I remember correctly, cooking does next to nothing to prions.
Unfortunately remembering mad cow disease cooking did not prevent the disease. The article is quite alarming. Pork sausage has featured in my Sunday gravy on a continuous basis.
These medical experiments are criminal.
If you remember back to the “mad cow” issue over European beef in the 1980s, a large segment of blood donors were forbidden to donate due to (then) undetectable prions being potentially in their blood. Service members stationed in Europe at the time (like myself) couldn’t donate.
Cows infected with prions couldn’t be diagnosed properly until their necropsy (animal autopsy), and cooking the meat of an infected animal did not appreciably decrease the risk from the eater becoming infected.
To my knowledge, only the ability to detect prions has been upgraded, but they still have no remedy to render the meat fit for consumption.
They scientist aren’t going to stop, are they? God help us if they decide to produce blue eyes in brown eye people.
