I know the bible says not to eat it, but how is pork bad for you. Scientific stuff please.
 
Pigs in the old world carried a parasite called trichinosis. Unless it was carefully cooked it could cause illness. So it was a simple fact that swine were not consumed. Making it something forbidden was easier. Peoples of that era didn't know the cause of the illness except when they ate pork they got sick.Pig raised in farms now don't have that problem.
 
Too much of anything is bad. As far as pork goes, it isn't Kosher. While the pig has cloven hooves it does not chew the cud. It has the potential for parasites and lots of fat that raises your cholesterol.
