Although the thick rib of pork is a good source of protein and a high-quality food, it should be enjoyed in moderation and not too often put on the plate. The reason for this is the arachidonic acid contained in pork, which promotes inflammation and should be consumed in reduced quantities, especially in the case of predominant inflammatory diseases such as skin problems and rheumatism.
