    "The consumption of gelatin found in Gummy Bears may lead to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans. "

    read this from earlier. I take it I'm the only person on QBN who has a relative who has CJD? My poor lovely uncle who was a minister came down a year and a half ago with what they thought was a particularly virulent strain of early onset alzheimers, then later diagnosed as CJD. Its a really sad story, he has been utterly hollowed out by it and is basically a shell now. This for a guy who used to get up and speak every week to a community who hung on his every word and who was involved every day of his life helping people who couldn't help themselves.
