Guest guest Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 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.) >From _What the Bible Says about Healthy Living_ Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone comes across references to that study online, I'd be interested in seeing it. Alobar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindy, who hasn't eaten any pork since reading that book!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
