Reason most religions say not to eat pork is because of the following:
Abstention from eating pork is a measure to safeguard
health.Of all the domestic animals, pig is the most
avaricious, eating anything including human excreta. It is the
cradle of harmful germs and parasites. Its meat is carrier of
diseases to man, thus making it unfit for human consumption.Comment

Yeah right. So how come we've not had a single reported case of Mad Pig Disease? How come beef is linked to CJD? How many people a year die globally from munching a bacon buttie, or a packet of pork scratchings?
Mmm. No, I don't know eitherComment

don't shoot the messenger
someone asked why some religions don't allow pork and I found this and posted it. Jews, Christians and muslims religious books give the same reason of why you shouln't eat pork and as you know pigs do eat anything and everything and thats the truth. Whether they cause diseases or not I don't know I only posted what I found!Comment

Do not confuse sensible measures to protect health with religious edict.
Even if every pig had extensive health checks to ensure it carried no diseases and was individually monitored by CCTV to ensure it never ate anything unpleasant, those same religions would still forbid eating of the pork.
