THE DEADLY FACT ABOUT CANNIBALISM.

The soviet union has no relation to cannibalism not until the 1933 Stalin-imposed famine in Ukraine which was so severe that cannibalism became surprisingly prevalent. This led the state to set up an anti-cannibalism squad to check the increasing rate of man eating man as of that time. Anyway, it seems that America is not aware of this or did not notice it on time. But, the deadly fact about cannibalism was more prominent among the Fore people in Papua New Guinea who are known for cannibalism. Specifically, eating the brain of another human being can cause kuru — a brain disease that's similar to mad cow disease. Kuru occurs because our brains contain prions that transmit the disease. Symptoms begin with trembling and end in death. About 200 people tremble and die in New Guinea as a result of this disease. But, as time goes on most people developed a resistive gene that protects them from this kuru disease, Still, most people die of this disease than those who tend to resist it.
