I've read that it's probably better to get the various phosphatides that we've discussed on this thread in the forms derived from soy rather than from cow brains. Be sure to read the ingredients before you buy the products. The phosphatides derived from cows, oxen, etc. have the potential danger of causing bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease). This is true for many "natural" supplements. About 10 years ago, when Melatonin was the latest craze, I was advised by my doctor to buy only the synthetic form and not the "natural form" because the "natural" brands were probably made from the ground up pineal glands of sheep and cows, and could possibly be infected with BSE and other prion diseases.
