(That was implied by the other commenter) I said that there is still trichinosis making the rounds today, and the common cause of it (in developing nations) is pigs and the meat being undercooked.<br /><br />I don't argue the health benefits of pork vs any other food. They're all good and bad, so eat in moderation. And those that aren't good, eat less of.<br /><br />Eat, drink, be merry.

Well, thanks to a lot of scientific study, we now know that the things taught about pork being bad for us is in fact myth. A myth that started in the 50s. As in: saturated fat is good for you, there's 3 fatty acids in saturated fat, one is good for the heart and arteries, and the other two are benign(neutral), for a net health gain. In other words, eat all the bacon you want, it's good for you.Mikaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894602732468692375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-75713920705094422672012-02-29T10:16:06.093-06:002012-02-29T10:16:06.093-06:00Actually, the "myth" that pork was bad w...Actually, the "myth" that pork was bad wasn't a myth at all. Pork used to be extremely bad for you. Trichinosis is only one parasite commonly carried by pigs, but a fairly common disease that still affects the developing world. <br /><br />Pigs were considered dirty, disease-ridden animals, and ate anything, including garbage and feces from themselves and other animals. This is quite possibly the reason the Israelites were commanded not to eat pigs, amongst other things.<br /><br />In fact, many of the commandments from God (Moses revealed many commandments from God, not just the Ten Commandments, and Leviticus is stuffed full of them) dealt with issues that on their surface may not seem related to survival, but were simply about making sure His people survived. Some of them were blatantly about survival and cleanliness.<br /><br />Nowadays, through smarter feeding processes, applied antibiotics and testing, our supply of pork in the US, GB and most developed countries is perhaps the cleanest it has ever been. As a result, pork here in the US no longer needs to be cooked to "well done" range.<br /><br />You may choose to believe that the bible is nothing but myth. I choose to believe otherwise, as does the host of this site, I'm sure.Shrimpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-6422923581459564222012-02-28T12:22:02.423-06:002012-02-28T12:22:02.423-06:00Actually, pork being bad for you is a myth, just l...Actually, pork being bad for you is a myth, just like most things in the bible.<br /><br />As for prayer, meditation has the same effect.Mikaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894602732468692375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-83577826060241438112012-02-28T08:27:22.919-06:002012-02-28T08:27:22.919-06:00It continues to amaze me how so many of the guidel...It continues to amaze me how so many of the guidelines of the Bible are found to have reasons that we're only finding today with our new technologies. From the reasons why eating pork is bad for you to this, there's so many things that we used to think were just random rules that actually have much deeper reasons than the primitive technology of the time could account for. <br /><br />They've found that prayer actually lowers blood pressure and increases a patient's chances of surviving surgery, so imagine what else they'll find in the future.Philliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12244142931909670053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-82820678717493594632012-02-27T23:43:25.488-06:002012-02-27T23:43:25.488-06:00I read about a recent study that playing world of ...I read about a recent study that playing world of warcraft helped seniors with their memory, spatial ability, and focus, specifically it helped those who had problems, but had no effect on those who didn't.<br /><br />http://news.ncsu.edu/releases/wmsmclaughlinwow/Mikaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894602732468692375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-67745791885687493082012-02-27T22:55:23.308-06:002012-02-27T22:55:23.308-06:00Interesting idea, and yeah a LOT more testing need...Interesting idea, and yeah a LOT more testing needs to be done!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.com
