According to Love, pork can harbor parasites if not cooked thoroughly. He advises sourcing pork from reliable vendors and ensuring it’s well-cooked.
One of the known parasites in pork is Trichinella, which can survive in undercooked meat. Ingesting such organisms can cause infections, though treatable in most cases.
If unsure about the pork’s origin or handling, Love recommends avoiding it altogether. He emphasizes the importance of food safety when dealing with animal products.
Next on his list is farm-raised salmon, a food often considered nutritious. Love explains that farm-raised fish are kept in dense conditions that increase health risks.
In crowded fish farms, parasites can spread more easily among the fish. These may carry over to consumers if the fish isn’t properly cooked.
To reduce this risk, Love suggests choosing wild-caught salmon when available. He also reminds viewers that salmon, like all fish, should be cooked fully before eating.
