The claim
Pigs carry dangerous parasites that can survive cooking, continue thriving inside the human body
Original review summary
The review says parasites associated with pork are transmitted through raw or undercooked meat, or through poor hygiene and contaminated food or water—not properly cooked pork. It explains that adequate cooking destroys the parasites, while infection and egg production can occur after consuming undercooked pork containing live cysts or ingesting tapeworm eggs through contaminated food or water.[S1]
