You have no idea whether CJ and Alzheimers are similar from a medical standpoint.
No, but I do from a NPR standpoint. A few years ago my Dad died of Alzheimers complications in July. The next thankgiving weekend I got caught in a traffic jam outside of NYC. While I was changing my prerecorded music the NYC NPR radio station came on. I listened for a bit because they were talking about Alzheimers. They said they had been trying to autopsy as many Alzheimer cases as possible but the number was still in the low hundreds which isn't much of a sample for a study. Even so, they found something like 10 or 12 % really had Mad Cow.

I won't try to convince anyone because I don't know who I was listening to or what they're credentials were but it caused me to wonder. I rarely eat beef.
