A Message from the Health Corporation of Singapore about the Bad Effects of Pork Consumption. Pig’s bodies contain many toxins, worms and latent diseases. Although some of these infestation are harboured in other animals, modern vegetarians say that pigs are far more pre-disposed to these illnesses than other animals. This could be because pigs like to scavenge and will eat any kind of food, including dead insects, worms, rotting carcasses, excreta, including their own, garbage and other pigs.
Pig meat contains excessive quantities of histamine and imidazole compounds which can lead to itching and inflammation; growth hormone which promotes inflammation and growth sulphur containing mesenchymal mucus which leads to swelling and deposits of mucus in tendons and cartilage, resulting in arthritis, rheumatism etc. Sulphur helps cause firm human tendons and ligaments to be replaced by the pig’s soft mesenchyymal tissues and de-generation of human cartilage. Eating pork can also lead to gall-stones and obesity, due to its high cholesterol and saturated fat content. The pig is the main carrier of the Tainie Solium Worm which is found in its flesh. These tapeworms are found in human intestines with greater frequency in nations where pigs are eaten. This type of tapeworm can pass through the intestines and affect many other organs and is incurable once it reaches beyond a certain stage. One in six people in the US and Canada has Richinosis from eating trichina worms, which are found in pork. Many people have no symptoms after having pork. When they do have any sickness in the long term, they resemble symptoms of many other illnesses. These worms are not noticed during meat inspections.

Influenza (flu) is one of the most famous and dreaded illnesses which pigs share with humans. This illness is harboured in the lungs of pigs during the summer months and tends to affect pigs and humans in the cooler months. Sausage contains bits of pigs’ lungs, so those who eat pork sausage tend to suffer more during epidemics of influenza.
