I, as a Muslim also have never eaten pork. But you were quite unfair with the research you publish here to come to a conclusion.
According to your first link
"When
humans eat undercooked meat containing trichinella larvae, the larvae mature into adult worms in the small intestine over several weeks. "
According to your second link above, I found the following sentence "
When humans ingest raw or undercooked meat from cysticercotic pigs, taeniasis (tapeworm) results." .
These links are talking about eating
raw and undercooked pork meat.
But you wrote, "Hence, it is recommended that even the pork products, which come in contact with the body should be avoided, ". How did you get to that conclusion? .
Suppose a Hindu finds in a science book that
" Consuming raw or undercooked beef is dangerous, as it can
harbor illness-causing bacteria, including Salmonella, Escherichia coli (E. coli), Shigella, and Staphylococcus aureus, all of which are otherwise destroyed with heat during the cooking process".
And then he writes
" Hence it is proven that eating beef can kill and must be avoided. " so the Gita is right.
You will scream, hang on a second, It is raw and undercooked beef, don't generalize. please.
Let's talk about beef first - - -
Ask any doctor, Muslim or a non-Muslim, and he would tell you that eating red meat increases your chances of colon cancer. But it is not forbidden in Islam. Hindus give this medical reason and say that since medical science proves that most of the people who get colon cancer and heart problems are beef eaters, it proves that their Gita is right.
When I was in my teens and was newly arrived in Australia, I had a Jewish teacher. He noticed that I was very picky with my food to avoid pork, He told me something which I still remember. He told me as a Jew he was also prohibited to eat pork but the fact according to science is, Pork is a lot healthier than beef. When I did my research, he was right. (It didn't mean I started eating pork :-) and stopped eating beef )
My point is, Quran is not a science book. when something is prohibited, it is prohibited.
Don't look in the science book to prove Quran, otherwise, you will be very embarrassed one day.
If in your opinion it is the health reason that God forbids pork then this is what science says about beef.
" Red meat contain haem iron, which makes meat red in colour.
When haem is broken down in the gut it forms N-nitroso compounds. These can damage the cells lining the bowel, which can lead to cancer."
For
heart disease, the answer is pretty clear. Red meats are high in
saturated fat, which raises
blood cholesterol. High levels of
LDL cholesterol increase the risk of
heart disease.
This is the reason, even in Pakistan, doctors tell patients to cut down on red meat when they reach 50 years of age.
But Quran allows us to eat red meat.
We should not bring science with religion. Religion allows cousins to marry science tells us that there are serious consequences.
Before I go, I have to send you a link proving that pork can be part of a healthy diet (for a non-Muslim). See this WebMed website (It is a famous health website).
Find out what the research says about pork, who should have it, and how it may affect your health.

I follow Islam when it comes to eating and drinking. I don't consume alcohol and avoid pork but I have to tell science point of view so I gave the above reasons.
