Babe Is Good For You

The Urban Legend: Pork + Coke = Worms!

It's a HOAX!

Truth: What they didn't tell you is they are using CONTAMINATED PORK for the experiment.

Claim: Pouring Coca-Cola onto a piece of raw pork will cause worms to come crawling out of the meat.

Status: FALSE!

Origins: Most of us have been exposed to information cautioning us to be wary of pork, from religious traditions (particularly in Jewish and Muslim cultures) that proscribe its consumption to warnings that one can get really sick by ingesting parasites present in (undercooked) pork products.

I eat Pork 1 time a year, and I feel Perfectly fine :), But I don't like to eat it in a regular basis, as it have too much fat to my taste U_U

Well that's not science, that's you saying it's science. Science is based on replication of results. So, for instance, there's a consistent link, which is correlational, between eating meat and a statistically elevated risk of cancer, this may not however be causal, there might be other lifestyle risks that meat eaters tend to have(obesity?), that vegetarians don't.

Now could you name the study, and show me where I it's been replicated.

You see making things up isn't science.

how about all the cancers linked to people that consume pork?

people that do not consume pork, be it religious or personal reasons, their percentages for likelihood drops 80%. how's that for science?

The Bible NEVER says unclean meat is bad for your health....I personally think it has alot to do with it(scavenger animals), BUT it has more to do with God saying these animals are NOT to be eaten.

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was a tree SPECIFICALLY OFF LIMITS....the scriptures make NO MENTION of its fruit being harmful(long term or short term)to Adam and Eves' health...The sin was the DISOBEDIENCE of a direct command.

How about we focus on obedience rather than "science"?

It's easy to do research on this.

Worm infestation is very rare in domestic livestock in civilised countries. NZ's last case was in 2001

trichinella worm is non host specific, you can get it from lots of things.

Guess what, it's killed easily by cooking meat properly

You can also kill it by freezing meat.

How exactly do your muscles change if you eat pig? Given that the meat is broken down in the digestive process, can you explain.

Complete fantasy on your part, pitiful.

You are the one challenging orthodox views. So therefore present a scientific paper on it. You see the rest of science thinks that heating things kills bacteria and parasites, controlling farm livestock creates meat(of whatever species), free of parasites.

Could be the most successful system for discovering the truth is wrong, could be that hundreds of years of experience and replication are wrong.

But lets face it, it's more likely you are wrong, isn't it?

I look forward to your paper, right.

Well what is it then, why don't you post it.

The statistical proof is self evident, countries that eat pork are just doing fine.

Truth is, you have no scientific proof, or in fact knowledge of science.

If you did, you wouldn't say question 1. Because that could be extrapolated to all things. Countries that eat pork have longer life spans than people who don't. Statistically difficult to refute.

Therefore, if you think this is untrue, you must provide the scientific proof.

[ianclivewright]

I really think we should deal with facts here not your silly little sky fairy fantasies.

The long term effects? There are no long term effects.

Unless you mean that loopy people like you deny science and the evidence in front of your eyes and prefer to live in a fantasy world.

As for parasites in meat, it's called Animal Husbandry, and then cooking your food.

You should try it, or live in ignorance, it's up to you.

Remember Allah wants you to be ignorant.
