If it could be easily proven that eating pork causes a reduction in intelligence or a delay in its development

Question

why would it be used or supported in any major religious organization?

Answer 1

God only knows whats used these days in major religions.
I'm Christian, and Gods health laws are still very much in affect; these bodies haven't changed, and those things that were bad for the flesh body, are still bad for it today.
Pork is the first meat a Doctor will take you off of when you become very ill;
Pigs have no sweat glands; consequently,
whatever bacteria they pick up remains in them until they die (and into the food).
It is not a sin to the death, but certainly a sin to the health of the body.
There is alot of common sense and wisdom contained in Gods Word, but thats not good enough for people - no, instead we have so many ailments, diseases,
and we wonder why? why indeed.

Answer 2

Pork is forbidden in Islam according to the text of the Qur’aan, where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“He has forbidden you only the Maytah (dead animals), and blood, and the flesh of swine…”
[al-Baqarah 2:173]

It is not permissible for a Muslim to consume it under any circumstances except in cases of necessity where a person’s life depends on eating it, such as in the case of starvation where a person fears that he is going to die, and he cannot find any other kind of food, based on the shar’i principle: “In cases of necessity, haraam things are permitted.”
Scientific and medical research has also proven that the pig, among all other animals, is regarded as a carrier of germs that are harmful to the human body. Explaining all these harmful diseases in detail would take too long, but in brief we may list them as: parasitical diseases, bacterial diseases, viruses and so on.

These and other harmful effects indicate that the Wise Lawgiver has only forbidden pork for a reason, which is to preserve life and health, which are among the five basic necessities which are protected by sharee’ah.

I would be happy to hear this news. Maybe the price of my BBQ ribs would fall.
