Pork Isn’t Just ‘Unhealthy’… Here’s the Bigger Issue

Pork is full of parasites… and it’s not just from undercooking. It’s actually the biology of the pig itself. 👀
A few things most people don’t realize:
Pigs have weaker stomach acid than humans, which means parasites are more likely to survive digestion, pass through the stomach alive, and embed into the muscle and fat tissue.
Then there’s the pig’s scavenger diet. Pigs will eat almost anything... rodents, garbage, feces, dead animals, even tumors. Whatever the pig consumes, parasites can colonize within the animal… and then people consume the pig.
Certain parasites also create larvae (basically baby parasites) that can form cysts within the muscle and fat tissue of pork. Some of these cysts may survive, especially when pork is undercooked, cured, or even smoked.
Most people never think twice about this stuff… but understanding where parasites come from matters if you’re struggling with chronic symptoms, gut issues, fatigue, skin problems, or inflammation.
