Now that I think about it, it is a scary subject!

Any sort of genetic mutation must have been caused in the last 30 to 50 years, NOT three million years ago (when humans did not exist). We have only been eating CAFO meat for a few decades, and the strain of E. coli that is pathogenic to humans (H:0157) has only been around since well after the advent of the CAFO.

The molecule –N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) – is a type of glycan, or sugar molecule, that humans don't naturally produce.


Oh, what was that? A sugar molecule? Almost the entire article was diarrhea-of-the-mouth speculation.

The research emphasizes the need for people to eat only well-cook meat or pasteurized dairy products, processes that destroy contaminating bacteria.


People keep ignoring the fact that pasteurization destroys good bacteria and enzymes as well.
Antibacterial cleaners were all the rage back in the 90's. Remember? Everyone was practically bleaching their entire house to kill 99.9% of germs.* The TV lady swabbed countertops everywhere. "Look at all this bacteria! This could be making you sick!"
So all these products come out to sanitize your life, and suddenly you are left with no bad bacteria, no good bacteria, only resistant superbugs. Aren't we modern and hip!
This kind of idiocy is still going on. I saw a recent "news" magazine show where the lady swabbed the bottoms of all the women's purses/handbags. What a shocker that bacteria showed up. Staph, Strep, etc. Of course, there was absolutely no mention of any good bacteria.

So anyway, sorry for the rant! It's some kind of weird sugar molecule that humans don't produce. Hummm.
Interesting.

*Edit. My sister in law bleached her house so bad that her counters fell apart. And now her kids are allergic to everything and always sick.
