Pork is just as healthy as any other meat as long as it's cooked properly.

All animals carry germs that are killed by cooking, chickens invariably carry salmonella for instance, which is harder to kill than the parasites normally associated with pork

Pigs can rarely now carry tape worms and Trichinosis, both of which are killed in the cooking process.

Many religions ban the eating of pork, this is not really fair in this day and age, many religious doctrines are based on sensible medical grounds.

The poster of this information do not really understand the implication of his title to the body of the message. Most of the reasons he presented are scientific reasons which did not exist during the Mohammedic era and thus his claim becomes invalid.
And looking at the message,its not only pig's meat that can be infected with worms.However,any animal thats well reared will surely be free of all the above listed risks(according to OP) in eating pork meat.Pork is as dangerous as any other meat and important as any other meat.There is virtually no greater danger in eating pork meat than in eating beef. Actually,i have eaten pork meat once and its enjoyable even though i have not fully accepted it as a food for personal reason.

KingBauer: This is garbage..



Pigs are Omnivores same as Humans, Dogs, Chickens and Fish -especially Nigerian Delicacy: Catfish. Catfish farmers in the house will confirm that Catfish will eat anything from Plant matter to Cerelac to Rotting Animal Carcasses infested with Maggots.
Are you less of a Muslim for eating Catfish?



Show us scientific proof of this


Another lie. Beef is actually easier to digest than Pork.

Beef takes about 3-4 hours to digest, while Pork takes 4.5 -5 hours.

To the best of my knowledge Cows, Goats, and Sheep also do not sweat. Neither do dogs or cats. In fact I only remember Horses and Humans as Mammals who thermo-regulate using sweat


Another lie.
See below From wikipidia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strychnine



This is because snakes have more subcutaneous fat and less vascular tissue under their skin making it harder for snake venom to get into their bloodstream.



Leave your freshly butchered beef out for a few days and see what happens

.

The first part is true, but by cooking the meat at high heat any parasites are killed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig


And beef has been proven to be less healthy eating than Fish or White Meat. SO WHAT?

10) Cows have a complex digestive system, having four stomachs. It thus takes over 24 hours to digest their vegetarian diet causing its food to be purified of toxins. In contrast, the swine's one stomach takes only about 4 hours to digest its foul diet, turning its toxic food into flesh.

Hahaha are you for real? Cows have 4 stomachs due to the natural inability to digest plant Fibre. Pigs are monogastric...same as us Humans!


11) The swine carries about 30 diseases which can be easily passed to humans. This is why God commanded that we are not even to touch their carcase (Leviticus 11:cool.

Rabies can be transfered from Dog to Humans. Avian flu can be transferred from Birds to Humans. Aids was allegedly transferred from Monkeys to Humans. So your point is?



Cook your meat properly and you will be fine.



What is this rubbish? Please identify this canal!




Banning a food for Religious reasons is fine. You cant argue with religion as its not based on Logic anyway. But dont try and pass off lies as proof that religion and science work hand in hand.

Re: Why Islam Prohibits You From Eating Pork ~ 15 Things You Should Know About Pigs by druid06(m): 3:19pm On Apr 23, 2013
People don't fool yourself with all these talk about pigs being toxic and whatnot. Not all pigs are that way especially those trained in the farm. It has been proven that pigs are very clean animals. Whenever you see a pig eating carcasses or faeces from other animals, it's because there's no food. Also, I totally agree about pigs not being able to perspire which is totally true and that's why they need a cold environment or water to function properly and places in like Africa where the environment is usually harsh, warm and there's scarcity of water, there's only one option for the pigs and that's mud..

For those who say they haven't eaten or tasted pork meat, you're just absolutely fooling yourself. What do you think they use for making some types of hamburgers and bacon... you guessed right, PIGS!

pDude:

So na who go come chop the pork naw?

My mum, some years ago decided to stop us all from eating pork because RCCG spoke against it. When I finally became a man and left her house, oh boy I begin consume pork like say tomorrow nor dey grin grin grin.


We catholics and anglican and protestant christ we can eat pork.

RCCG pray for the people of israel(jewisch) but they don't tell that in palestina there are christians amd this christians belong to the oldest christian churches in the world, did you know this did you hear that they pray for them. For me RCCG ist more a jewisch religion than a christian and that is why they say no pork.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethlehem the place where jesus christ was born is in palestina.

mastercee: 1) A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals.


Why looking for excuses? Hen aka fowl eats all these you mentioned and muslims eats hens.

The reason is ignorance...

mastercee: 1) A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals.

2) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison.

3) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time.

4) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins remain within its body and in the meat.

5) Pigs and swine are so poisonous that you can hardly kill them with strychnine or other poisons.

6) Farmers will often pen up pigs within a rattlesnake nest because the pigs will eat the snakes, and if bitten they will not be harmed by the venom.

7) When a pig is butchered, worms and insects take to its flesh sooner and faster than to other animal's flesh. In a few days the swine flesh is full of worms.

cool Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, such as tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that all these parasites, their cysts,and eggs will be killed.

9) Pig meat has twice as much fat as beef. A 3 oz T bone steak contains 8.5 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork chop contains 18 grams of fat. A 3 oz beef rib has 11.1 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork spare rib has 23.2 grams of fat.

10) Cows have a complex digestive system, having four stomachs. It thus takes over 24 hours to digest their vegetarian diet causing its food to be purified of toxins. In contrast, the swine's one stomach takes only about 4 hours to digest its foul diet, turning its toxic food into flesh.

11) The swine carries about 30 diseases which can be easily passed to humans. This is why God commanded that we are not even to touch their carcase (Leviticus 11:cool.

12) The trichinae worm of the swine is microscopically small, and once ingested can lodge itself in our intestines, muscles, spinal cord or the brain. This results in the disease trichinosis. The symptoms are sometimes lacking, but when present they are mistaken for other diseases, such as typhoid, arthritis, rheumatism, gastritis, MS, meningitis, gall bladder trouble, or acute alcoholism.

13) The pig is so poisonous and filthy, that nature had to prepare him a sewer line or canal running down each leg with an outlet in the bottom of the foot. Out of this hole oozes pus and filth his body cannot pass into its system fast enough. Some of this pus gets into the meat of the pig.

14) According to Jewish law, pork is one of a number of foods forbidden from consumption by Jews. These foods are known as "non-kosher" foods. In order for a meat to be kosher, it must first come from a kosher animal. A kosher animal must be a ruminant and have split hooves - therefore cows, sheep, goats and deer are all kosher, whereas camels and pigs (having each only one sign of kashrut) are not kosher.

15) Quran, Holy book of Muslims also prohibits consumption of pork.

"He has made unlawful for you that which dies of itself and blood and the flesh of swine and that on which the name of any other than Allah has been invoked. But he who is driven by necessity, being neither disobedient nor exceeding the limit, then surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful." Quran 2:173

Pork is one of the sweetest meat. If well cooked it is totally harmless and pigs have a very efficient liver that detoxify any toxin it takes in. BTW chickens eat cockroaches, worms, maggots, e.t.c and cow also contains tape worms why didn't Muhammad ban the eating of chicken and beef?
