Judaism

In Judaism, Kashrut (kosher) is the set of dietary laws governing what can or cannot be consumed. In the context of Judaism, the phrase unclean animal refers to those listed in the book of Leviticus in the Hebrew Bible; the intent is that they not be consumed for food. Many animals considered unclean have the characteristic of uncloven hooves or being ruminants. The Bible states: "Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you." Leviticus 11:4. The circled U indicates that this product is certified as kosher by the Orthodox Union (OU). ... Judaism is the religious culture of the Jewish people. ... 11th century manuscript of the Hebrew Bible with Targum Hebrew Bible refers to the common portions of the Jewish and Christian canons. ... A claw is a curved pointed growth found at the end of a toe or finger, or in arthropods, of the tarsus. ... A ruminant is any hooved animal that digests its food in two steps, first by eating the raw material and regurgitating a semi-digested form known as cud, then eating the cud. ... Cud, or Bolus, is a combination of semi-digested food and bile, which is produced by the first two chambers (the rumen and the reticulum) of the stomach of a ruminant. ...

According to Jewish law, Jews are forbidden to eat pork as swine are considered to be unclean. Halakha (Hebrew: הלכה; also transliterated as Halakhah, Halacha, Halachah) is the collective corpus of Jewish rabbinic law, custom and tradition. ... Taboo food and drinks are those that people avoid for religious, cultural or health reasons. ...

Science Studies on Unclean/Clean Animals

A 1985 study by Nanji and French found that there was a relationship between cirrohosis and pork consumption. [1] Modern day swine raising is very different from earlier times with greater exposure to toxins but reduced exposure to pests and disease.

Jane Cahill reported in Biblical Archeological Review (Jane Cahill and Peter Warnock, "It had to happen, Scientist Examines Ancient Bathrooms of Romans 586B.C." BAR May/June 1991 ) that the toilets of a Jewish household in Jerusalem were examined and no parasites or infectious agents were found.
