Yunus:
Yes, were
the
organs,
example
the
heart,
the
liver,
or
the
brain
crippled
or
damaged, the
animal
could
die
immediately
and
its
blood
would
congeal
in
its
veins
and would
eventually
permeate
the
flesh.
This
implies
that
the
animal
flesh
would
be permeated
and
contaminated
with
uric
acid
and
therefore
very
poisonous;
only today
did
our
dietitians
realize
such
a thing.
Bob:
Again,
while
on
the
topic
of food;
Why
do
Muslims
condemn
the
eating
of
pork
or
ham
or
any
foods
related
to pigs
or
swine.
Yunus:
Actually,
apart
from the
Quran
prohibiting
the
consumption
of
pork,bacon
(pig
flesh);
in
fact
the Bible
too
in
Leviticus
chapter
11,
verse
8,
regarding
swine
it
says,
"of
their flesh
(of
the
swine
another
name
for
pig)
shall
you
not
eat,
and
of
their carcass
you
shall
not
touch;
they
are
unclean
to
you."
Further,
did
you
know that
a
pig
cannot
be
slaughtered
at
the
neck
for
it
does
not
have
a
neck;
that is
according
to
its
natural
anatomy.
A
Muslim
reasons
that
if
the
pig
was
to be
slaughtered
and
fit
for
human
consumption
the
Creator
would
have
provided
it with
a
neck.
Nonetheless,
all
that
aside,
I
am
sure
you
are
well
informed about
the
harmful
effects
of
the consumption
of
pork,
in
any
form,
be
it pork
chops,
ham,
bacon.
Bob:
The
medical science
finds
that
there
is
a
risk
for
various
diseases
as
the
pig
is
found
to be
a
host
for
many
parasites
and
potential diseases.
Yunus:
Yes,
even
apart
from
that, as
we
talked
about
uric
acid
content
in
the
blood,
it
is
important
to
note
that the
pig's
biochemistry
excretes
only
2%
of
its
total
uric
acid
content,
the remaining
98%
remains
as
an
integral
part
of
the
body.
Please
forward
to others............it
may
answer
some
of
their
questions
especially
when
the children
ask.
