Though its name is practically synonymous with bad health, pork
doesn't have to be banished from a good-for-you diet.
Thanks to advances in breeding and feeding techniques, pork
actually is leaner than it was 30 years ago. In fact, cuts such as
tenderloin are among the leanest meats you can buy, with just 139
