      Some scientist say the opposite, that chicken is better than other meats, called red meats (pork, beef, lamb) But we still don’t know if this is 100% sure. Red meats have a type of iron that can be unhealthy, but still we are researching on it. You have to consider other things, for example chicken fat is worst than pork fat, so it will depend how fatty is the piece of meat you eat or if you eat the fat or not. The way you cook it is also important, grilled and bbq’ed meat are more unhealthy. And what you eat the meat with is also important, even the order (vegs first or last) can affect how healthy it is. As you see it is very complex.
      I prefer pork than chicken because it is more tasty
