70. Allah's Scientific Miracles In The Quran: Pork And Its Harmful Effects On Health

The Qur'an reveals that eating pork is forbidden and provides complete protection from the harmful effects of pork under any conditions. This commandment of our Lord's provides complete protection from the harmful effects of pork under any conditions. Until the 20th century, it was impossible to be aware of the danger posed to human health by pork. The fact that the Qur'an, revealed fourteen centuries ago, warns against this harm which has been incontrovertibly revealed with modern medical equipment is remarkable. The wisdom behind the prohibition on the consumption of pork is to protect human health. Eating pork is harmful to health in a great many regards, and no matter how clean the farms and environments on which it is raised may be, the pig is not by nature a clean-living animal. The pig produces much higher levels of antibodies and growth hormone compared to other animals and human beings, which can pass across to and collect in the pig's muscle tissue. Pork meat also contains high levels of cholesterol and lipids. It has been scientifically proven that these significant amounts of antibodies, hormones, cholesterol and lipids in pork represent a serious threat to human health. Additionally, the trichina worm found in pork can settle directly in the muscles of the heart and represents a potentially fatal threat.
