Hi Vache,

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. I can't find the bit

about snakes in the book, but I'm pretty sure it's in there somewhere.

I did find the part about mice, or rats, anyway. The reason it's not a

good idea to eat mice (or rats) is because they are toxic. A number

above 75% is *good*, and a number below 75% is *bad* (according to a

table of animals studied in a Johns Hopkins study). Rats have a

toxicology percentage of 55%. Not a good thing.

 

In case you were wondering, deer and sheep score the best, with 98% and

94% respectively. A duck has 98%. Most fish with scales and fins score

in the 90's. But the shellfish don't score well - all are below 75%.

(According to the author, this proves that God's dietary rules for the

Jewish people made a lot of sense.)

If anyone comes across references to that study online, I'd be

interested in seeing it.

Couldn't find much online, Alobar, but if you have nearby access to a good

library, you could try to find this:

 

David Macht, M.D., " An Experimental Pharmacological Appreciation of Leviticus

XI and Deuteronomy XIV, " Bulletin of Histrical Medicine, Johns Hopkins

University, 47:1 (April 1953): 444-450.

 

Mindy, who hasn't eaten any pork since reading that book!!
