is pork meat not so good for health as some people say?

Answer 1

Eating meat at all can be argued against, of course. It's harder to digest than non-meat foods, it's often higher in fat, it can displace fruit and vegetables in the diet, and chemical toxins build up in the fatty tissues of animals, especially omnivorous animals like pigs. Higher consumption of red meat (pork, beef and other mammal meats) is strongly associated with increased risk of various cancers, especially bowel cancer.

A 1986 linked pork consumption to cirrhosis of the liver (drinking alcohol while eating lots of pork was worse than drinking booze on its own). Raw pig meat is often contaminated by various parasites, such as fluke worm and trichinae. Salmonella may also be present. Some sources claim that cooking cannot completely remove these hazards, rendering any consumption unsafe. Most food safety experts would disagree, though.

That said, pork is a good source of calories, protein, several B vitamins, zinc and iron. Moreover, eating other types of meat, especially if undercooked, may be equally unsafe.

Answer 2

That is a contested statement. Pork is a lot more prone to parasites (like trichinosis) and the meat contains more saturated fat than others. The beef producers, assorted tree huggers and others for example say bad things about pork and the pork producers have their own spin doctors.

If all the excess fat is removed, Pork is as healthy as any meat product I know.
