Pork is the most widely eaten meat in the world, but also the most contentious. Some cultures rate it as a superfood, other religions consider it unclean.Pork is legally a red meat as it contains over 65% myoglobin, the iron-containing protein that stores oxygen, and its superfood rating comes from a high mineral content of phosphorus, selenium, sodium, zinc, potassium, copper, iron and magnesium with traces of calcium and manganese. It is rich with vitamin B6 and B12, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid and has small quantities of vitamins A and E. Pork tenderloin has fewer calories and less cholesterol than chicken breast.
