Is there any danger of contracting Mad Cow disease through the cows colostrum or from extracted transfer factor?
Experts on mad cow disease have stated that BSE does not pass through the mammary glands into the colostrum. In examining all of the cows that became ill with mad cow disease, not one of them had infected milk, colostrum or mammary glands. Scientists have found that different bovine tissues contain different amounts of the BSE agent. Scientists have also discovered that the highest amounts of infectivity from animals in the in the final stages of clinical disease are found in the brain and spinal cords. Milk has never been shown to have any infectivity. • World Health Organization: “Tests on milk from BSE-infected animals have not shown any BSE infectivity, and there is evidence from other animal and human spongiform encephalopathies to suggest that milk will not transmit these diseases. Milk and milk products, even in countries with high incidence of BSE, are therefore considered safe.” • Emerging Infectious Disease Journal: “Many readers asked about the safety of milk and dairy produ
