Why we should not eat pork.

[Blackking]

Clearly, you're an expert nutritionist, considering a few posts ago you were under the idea that "scientists" said that pig digestive track infuses its meat and body with toxins

http://blog.foodnetwork.com/healthyeats/2009/06/08/pork-good-or-bad/

I hope you got the sarcasm of 88m3's post.

I must say I'm a little shocked at the lack of knowledge of the digestive systems of these different animals.

i got 88m's post-- and if we prepare the meat wrong then I agree. Lucky there are more avenues now to get healthier meat. And yes that is not my idea it's just fact.


Pork and Toxins
The quality of an animal's flesh is directly related to what it eats. The common pig will eat virtually anything, including dirt, decaying animal meat and vegetables, maggots and even its own waste products. According to "Nutritional Sciences," the meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge and can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison. A main reason why beef has far fewer toxins is because of cows' vegetarian diet and their lengthy digestive process, which breaks down toxic substances. Further, a pig does not perspire like other mammals, so toxins stay within its flesh. According to "Nutrition and Public Health," consumption of fresh pork products can cause acute responses, such as inflammations of the appendix, gall bladder, stomach and intestines, as well as acute eczema, carbuncles and abscesses. These symptoms have also been linked with consuming cured and sausage meats.


According to "Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism," pork takes about five hours to digest, compared to 3.5 hours for beef, two hours for turkey, 1.5 hours for chicken and about 45 minutes for fish. The longer digestive time for pork suggests that the body has difficulty breaking down its flesh, fat and toxins. Further, if pork is eaten with fast-digesting foods, such as vegetables and fruit, then they are also held in the stomach for five hours, which can cause them to ferment and cause indigestion and flatulence.

Wrong. Judaism outlawed it thousands of years before. The people who wrote the Quran decided to re-emphasize it possibly due to Christianity throwing that kosher shyt out of the window.

at you taking that post seriously

Funny how I can't find any scientific articles or studies to back these claims up. Most of the searches using that quote bring up religious websites were muslims are just talking about how dirty pigs are. I can't find any peer reviewed scientific studies that back up the claim "the meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge and can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison.

There are ways to make meat safe for consumption... I really don't eat processed food - I eat it in a way that makes it safer... but overall if I must eat meat from the grocery store or resturant - it will be riskier by far to consume pork meat. How can you deny that.?

Actually, chicken gets contaminated far more easily than any other meat.

A total of 825 samples of retail raw meats (chicken, turkey, pork, and beef) were examined for the presence of Escherichia coli and Salmonella serovars, and 719 of these samples were also tested for Campylobacter spp. The samples were randomly obtained from 59 stores of four supermarket chains during 107 sampling visits in the Greater Washington, D.C., area from June 1999 to July 2000. The majority (70.7%) of chicken samples (n = 184) were contaminated withCampylobacter, and a large percentage of the stores visited (91%) hadCampylobacter-contaminated chickens. Approximately 14% of the 172 turkey samples yieldedCampylobacter, whereas fewer pork (1.7%) and beef (0.5%) samples were positive for this pathogen. A total of 722Campylobacter isolates were obtained from 159 meat samples; 53.6% of these isolates wereCampylobacter jejuni, 41.3% were Campylobacter coli, and 5.1% were other species. Of the 212 chicken samples, 82 (38.7%) yielded E. coli, while 19.0% of the beef samples, 16.3% of the pork samples, and 11.9% of the turkey samples were positive for E. coli. However, only 25 (3.0%) of the retail meat samples tested were positive for Salmonella. Significant differences in the bacterial contamination rates were observed for the four supermarket chains. This study revealed that retail raw meats are often contaminated with food-borne pathogens; however, there are marked differences in the prevalence of such pathogens in different meats. Raw retail meats are potential vehicles for transmitting food-borne diseases, and our findings stress the need for increased implementation of hazard analysis of critical control point (HACCP) and consumer food safety education efforts.

The report, from the advocacy organization Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), ranks meat products based on their likelihood of causing severe illness.

At the top of the list was chicken. Between 1998 and 2010, chicken products, including roasted, grilled and ground chicken, were definitively linked to 452 outbreaks of foodborne illness

and 6,896 cases of illness in the United States, the report says. (An outbreak was defined as two or more illnesses linked to a common food source.)

That site paraphrases bits and pieces of scientific articles then gives you vague works cited pages. Its Middle School level "research". Truth is most cuts of pork are fatty and tougher to digest than most meat. Like any slow digesting foods, it fukks with our digestive system over time. Problem is we over consume pork (breakfast, lunch dinner) daily. Toxicity only comes into place when our undigested food in our intestines starts to spoil because the chunks of pork is slowing the process down.

Yo, seriously though, if pork is so "bad" for one's health, can someone explain to me why they eat so much of it in Italy, France, Spain etc and seem to be quite fine?

Lets not forget that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean populations also consume solid quantities of pork and dont seem to suffer as a result...... living long ages and relatively healthy lives

With a lot of muslims I knew, I found it funny how they would abstain from pork, but eat tons of junk food by the truckload and smoke like chimneys.

If you're gonna do all that shyt to your body, you might as well eat the swine.
