•• Now let us discuss the Consumption of pork on the basis of Science and Logic:
=> Consumption of pork causes several disease. Eating of pork can cause no less than seventy different types of diseases.
A person can have various helminths like roundworm, pinworm, hookworm, etc. One of the most dangerous is Taenia Solium, which is in lay man’s terminology called tapeworm. It harbours in the intestine and is very long. Its ova i.e. eggs, enter the blood stream and can reach almost all the organs of the body. If it enters the brain it can cause Neurocysticercosis, a fatal disiease. If it enters the heart it can cause heart attack, if it enters the eye it can cause blindness, if it enters the liver it can cause liver damage. It can damage almost all the organs of the body.
=> Another dangerous helminth is Trichuris trichiura. A common misconception about pork is that if it is cooked well, these ova die. But in a research project undertaken in America, it was found that out of twenty-four people suffering from Trichuris trichiura, twenty-two had cooked the pork very well. This indicates that the ova present in the pork do not die under normal cooking temperature.
=> Pork has very little muscle building material and contains excess of fat. This fat gets deposited in the vessels and can cause Hypertension and Heart attack.
It is not surprising that over 50 million Americans suffer from hypertension.
=> The pig is one of the filthiest animals on earth. It lives and thrives on muck, faeces and dirt. It is the best scavenger that I know that God has produced. In the villages they don’t have modern toilets and the villagers excrete in the open air. Very often excreta is cleared by pigs.
Some may argue that in advanced countries like Australia, pigs are bred in very clean and hygienic conditions. Even in these hygienic conditions the pigs are kept together in sties. No matter how hard you try to keep them clean they are filthy by nature. They eat and enjoy their own as well as their neighbour’s excreta!](https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/p480x480/63442_225590457573129_1252086330_n.jpg)
