How Does Pork Sausage

Affect the Blood?

A Follow-up Investigation to the Pork Study

Using Live Blood Analysis

By Beverly Rubik, PhD

any cultures have a tradition of sausage-making
with pork. There are numerous preparations of

Mpork sausages, from raw pork stuffed into cas-
ings with herbs and spices, to cured and smoked sausages

that need not be cooked again before eating. There are
also certain traditional foods such as sauerkraut that are

traditionally consumed with pork sausage in Northern
Germany and Poland.

In this small pilot study, we investigate the effect on the blood of con-
suming pork sausage as observed through dark-field live blood analysis. We
also compare the effect of consuming sauerkraut along with pork sausage.
This study is a follow-up investigation to the pork study that I conducted
in 2011 and published in Wise Traditions, which compared effects on the
blood after eating fresh pork chops (marinated and unmarinated), bacon,
prosciutto and also lamb (Rubik, 2011).
