Nutritional values

In contrast to beef, pork contains a considerable amount of arachidonic acid. This omega-6 fatty acid promotes the formation of messenger substances that promote inflammation in the body. Especially people with inflammatory diseases like skin problems, cardiovascular diseases, allergies or rheumatism should avoid the fatty acid as far as possible.

Arachidonic acid can also be converted from the omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid in the body. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended that you eat many foods containing omega-3 fatty acids (such as linseed and fish), as these use the same enzymes for their conversion and can thus displace omega-6 fatty acids.
