[QUOTE="KDM, post: 244279, member: 314"] The thing about feeding studies using animals to test infection rates or carcinogenic possibilities is is that they use a range of amounts of the test material up to and including 100%. There was a study a few years back looking at Mcdonalds french fries as causing cancer. The rats used in the study were fed high amounts of french fries for their diet including nothing but Mcdonalds french fries. In other words all they ate was french fries. This is NOT a normal diet for rats, nor is it a normal diet for humans. However, some of the rats developed cancer and lo and behold the rats that got cancer were from the groups that was fed stupid high rates of french fries. The researchers then claimed that eating Mcdonalds french fries causes cancer. REALLY?????? I suspect any study on consuming CWD infected foods would have the same experimental design as the french fry study, but with primates instead of rats. I would REALLY like to see this or any study that proclaims CWD can transmit to primates for myself. I suspect that IF these primates contracted CWD is would be from being fed HIGH CONCENTRATIONS of CWD infected materials. Like in the french fry study, eating over 50 percent of ones diet of CWD infected materials is NOT a normal diet for any living creature on earth. One has to look at the details of these claims instead of taking them at face value. [/QUOTE]
