Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Blood sugar level?: The foods you mentioned seem to have one thing in common: they are all rich in simple carbohydrates. If you haven't already, you might consider seeing your physician for some lab work, including (1) complete urinalysis, (2) complete blood count, (3) fasting serum glucose, (4) hemoglobin A1c, &amp;  (5) fasting serum insulin &amp; c-peptide. This should at least get you started on the right track.

is it true pork causes trichomonas?

Accepted Answer

No: The organism has to be transmitted sexually or from an infected water environment.

Question 10

what is the reason some semitic peoples avoid pork?

Accepted Answer

Religious: The proscription against pork comes from the issue of the trichinosis infestation common to pork.  This can infest the human who eats poorly cooked pork with a sickening and sometimes deadly illness.  Because of this, a religious prohibition to eat pork has become institutionalized in certain religions of semitic origin include islam and judiasm.
