[from the introduction): "Howdy! Welcome to the 59th issue of the Mad Cowboy Newsletter. In this issue's "Mad Cow Info Round-Up" you'll find, among many cites, some interesting articles about the molecular similiarity between Altzheimer's disease, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease, how Bovine Tuberculosis can be spread to humans, a deadly fish virus in the Great Lakes, and struggles by the US to get South Korea and Japan to accept our beef. Note that our "Flu News" section has been updated with more information on the spread of the disease and warnings from gov't and other high officials as to the serious potential epidemic we are facing. There's also an intriguing project using "Google Maps" to track the spread of the disease.
Reading further, there's a dynamite recipe from Nava Atlas (as published in "No More Bull!"), information about the recent pet food recall (and resources available on pet food issues, making your own, and recommended products). There's also studies on the consumption of beef and fertility, a unique analysis comparing the blood of vegans and omnivores, and new discoveries about fat and salt and their relationship to your heart beat rate and blood pressure. A "must see" is the short panel discussion (in "Veg Video Watch") between Drs. McDougall, Esselstyn, and Fuhrman.
Best wishes to everyone for a great Spring and get those tomatoes into the ground asap! Mark
