Seriously tho, my dad always told me cook your pork...that it's one of the worst for ingested-pathogens. I had the unfortunate childhood experience of living with dad while he got his post-doc in Tropical Diseases & Parasitic Medicine at Johns Hopkins. He kept his *%&$ specimens in the fridge so he could study at home. GRODY.
I'd imagine that the acidity of the stomach would kill cancerous cells before they took hold. But that's just a guess. I'd be really careful if I had open sores in the mouth, throat or esophagus, ulcers or bleeding gums, since MAYBE the cancer cells could find a point of entry before your saliva or digestive juices could render them harmless. Any doctory types out there care to chime in on my theory? Cancer-kabob-conjecture for a wednesday afternoon. Must be a slow day for me.
