Try 145 to 150 for even better.

Upbringing I think. People are taught by their parents that meat should be
dead and no blood running from it.

Many years ago it was OK to cook pork to a high temperature because it was
fatty and could take the heat and there was the possibility of trichinosis.
That has changed.

At home we always had all meats well done. Fortunately, my wife taught me
different, but I admit, at first I was a bit fearful to eat it pink. Now
I'll eat some raw.
