How Does Pork Prepared in
Various Ways Affect the Blood?
An Investigation via Live Blood Analysis
By Beverly Rubik, PhD
raditional preparation of pork involved salt-curing
followed by smoking to preserve it, or marinating
Tfresh pork in an acidic medium, usually vinegar, prior
to cooking. Yet today some people simply cook fresh pork
without giving any particular attention to traditional meth-
ods of preparation. How does consumption of these various
preparations of pork affect the blood?
In this report, we examine three adults who normally eat a tra-
ditional Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) diet who participated in
a pilot study to ascertain the effects of eating pork on the blood. These
volunteers came to the laboratory once a week to consume pork pre-
pared in various ways and to have their blood examined before and af-
ter eating it. Microphotographs of their blood show unexpected results.
