Eggs provide every nutrient the body needs, except one. So why has there been a decline in egg consumption since the 1960s? A lot can be traced back to faulty research about blood cholesterol that refuses to fade away, despite today's much better nutrition science.
In today’s short episode, Jonathan and Sarah ask: What’s the truth about eggs? Are they healthy or not?

As a small farmer who previously sold eggs for years, I have stopped selling them because of the pressure from government health bodies over Avian Flu. Small farmers are targets for these authorities, and these health authorities are ruthless when it comes to how they operate. When you care for your chickens like we do, it just isn't worth the risk. What I advocate is for every household who eat a lot of eggs to get some backyard hens. Regarding a chicken's carbon footprint - they create a net positive if you consider that you can feed 2-3 hens with just what goes into your compost in a week, that is trucked outside the city and dumped. It is also the best way of KNOWING that what is in your eggs. The industrial egg industry is very unscrupulous when it comes to feed, and yes, that even includes "free range" chickens. If you can't visit the chickens on the farm, there is a chance you are being fed just marketing speak. So get yourself some backyard hens for the best eggs, and take your food security into your own hands.

Sad that so many farmers have had to give up poultry farming, and that so many birds have died. I am a big fan of good eggs - they are a great breakfast for sleep because they contain tryptophan, which helps us to create serotonin. and melatonin, which help us to relax and sleep.

I have my own chickens and I can really recommend having chickens in your own backyard. Its not a lot of work and its lovely to know where your egg comes from and be a little self-sufficient. Since having my own chickens, a lot of older people told me that it used to be really normal that everyone used the little bit of land they got to have their own chickens and eggs, so I think it would be wondeful if that found a comeback. Better for the chickens and better eggs for everyone who loves to eat them!

In the late 80s I did a fitness trainer program. The bloke who taught the nutrition part happened to be a competitive power lifter and work in a lab. He tried increasing his egg intake and track his biomarker on how well he would digest it. Which he could do conveniently in the lab he worked at. He told us that in a hard training phase he could consume up to 12 eggs a day without showing any negative impact on his markers.

I try and find local eggs that are not corn fed, just free to grub around. Apparantly if hens don't feed on their natural foods the good nutrition in eggs is depleted. Its more difficult with the present avian flu as even free range hens are not free to roam and my local farm has to feed them corn. I can't keep hens unfortunately as I have no garden. I am on keto and eat 3-4 eggs a day. I have just had my yearly blood work done and I am fine on everything. This was a great podcast, very balanced.

I looked at science that show that if your LDL cholesterol is as low as it should be, eating cholesterol has a rather strong influence on your LDL. So the effect on your LDL is small only if LDL is already too high . Edit: That was not completely correct, it is not about the LDL levels per se, it is about how much cholesterol you have previously eaten. So if you regularly eat a lot of cholesterol the extra effect on LDL is rather small, but it can rise dramatically if you have a habit of eating very little or no cholesterol.

During the current egg shortage, often the only eggs available in my local Sainsbury's have been Old Cotswold Legbars, which are bluish and have a picture of the rather unusual chicken that lays them on the box. On one such day in the egg aisle, I saw a man standing motionless looking at them. 'Well,' I said, putting a box in my basket, 'This is all there is.' 'But I haven't tried these,' said the main, as if it was a terrible worry. 'They're fine,' I said, 'normal eggs.' He opened a box and pointed, 'They're blue.' 'It's perfectly alright,' I said, it's a good egg.' He pointed at the bird on the box. 'It's not a chicken,' he said. I left him to it.

There still seems to be a lot of fear mongering here. There is no evidence that eggs are bad for us, so why the artificial limit of one-a-day? It's the about the cheapest quality protein, even now, so whatever you replace that second or third egg with will either be not as good, or much more expensive. If this advice would have someone who enjoys an omelette for breakfast, only having it 2 or 3 times a week, and eating toast or a bowl of cereal the other mornings - has it improved their health, or actually made it worse, with elevated blood glucose most mornings.

She said "dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol". That is possibly disingenuous as it can be both true and false. Blood serum cholesterol can be expressed as a sigmoidal curve, whereby if you're in the upper region, additional dietary cholesterol doesn't push you higher. If you're in the lower ranges, dietary cholesterol absolutely pushes up blood serum cholesterol. Basically at a certain point, blood serum cholesterol 'tops out' and won't necessarily go higher. Only half the story is presented in this video. Her statement is accurate only where higher blood serum cholesterol is preexisting. The full picture is more nuanced.

I'm not a strict vegan at this time (I eat a few small tins of fish a couple times a week, so I suppose I'm a pescatarian), but this information helps alleviate a lot of my concerns about eggs. I will probably just keep it at 3 eggs per week due to my environmental & welfare concerns for chickens, but I won't be overly concerned about eating a few more eggs at times. Thanks!

As a professional bodybuilder now 60 yrs of age… i eat 4-6 whole eggs , mostly 4 eggs a day every day. I know the nutrition value of the egg. Besides, i also know that cholesterol is not a problem based on what the top doctors have said about having high LDL. I am in great shape and health. On zero medications. I work out 4- days a week and do cardio up the mountains 2-3 a week. By diet is getting better as i am slowly studying all about farmed salmon and processed food which now i stay away from.If you exercise even walk everyday and watch your by eating healthy carbs you can eat pretty much till your full. People don’t want to exercise.

This is so informative. I remember the shortage back in February and seeing all these elderly folks standing around the area where you picked up the eggs in the store. It was then that I realized that many of our elderly population in the USA eat eggs more so then meat because of the cost. When I became a vegetarian I started looking at where my food came from. Range free eggs are harder to get in my area and extremely expensive when they are there, so I opt for cage free eggs. Thanks for the video.

Are you sure you might not have a food sensitivity to eggs? Eggs are one of the most common food allergies/intolerances. You shouldn't be experiencing stomach upset from a hard boiled egg. You're sure soft boiled eggs don't upset your stomach and only hard boiled ones do? More vitamins remain intact if eggs are soft boiled vs hard boiled, but Idk why it would affect your digestion like that. Are you sure you're able to eat eggs no problem if they are cooked inside other things, like brownies, cakes, puddings, or carbonara?

I have Typ 2, keep fit, BMI 23, and perfect blood pressure. One Dr says do not eat eggs and the other says eat eggs, when I found I have Typ 2, I started to eat up to 24 eggs per week, then found my Cholesterol had gone up to 5. I have since changed to having Two Chicks Egg whites in omelets 5 x per week and on weekends have 4 x full eggs, my cholesterol has reduced. So now the Dr who wants me to eat full eggs is really pushing Statins, I just do not get it, I walk hard 3 to 4 miles per night, and do 5-mile walks on weekends, doing loads of press ups, sit ups etc, the information is confusing, but I have decided no matter how hard they push, I do not want to take the statins. The last bit is nothing to do with eggs, but just to show the confusion :)

I know I'm not the only one who's had enough of the back and forth between the different groups who have their own agendas. I've been living with diabetes since 1998 and haven't spent a night in the hospital yet! I have to think about diet and weight management and health more than the people who are still in good health and probably still taking their health for granted. "They" scared people off of eggs because of saturated fat and cholesterol because of the belief that those things lead to heart disease. They told people to eat oatmeal and drink orange juice. Then millions of people became overweight type 2 diabetics from all the sugars/starches/grains etc. Now many people are slimming down on low carb high fat diets but even the cardiologists don't agree if that is foolish long term even if it is working in the short term for slimming down and getting better control of the high blood sugar problem. Then you have the vegans who are almost more concerned about the animals than they are their own long term health. Then you have the worthless government who lets the big companies "mislead" people about what things like "cage free" actually mean. The companies take advantage of the people who do care about the animals and the environment but still do believe that homosapiens need to eat meat/eggs/dairy etc to be well nourished. I'm a reader and it's not even all completely clear to me what is the "right" thing to do and when it is or isn't worthwhile to agree to pay more for "pasture raised" etc. So what in the bleep can you expect from people who aren't inclined to put much thought into these matters?

My understanding is that of the cholesterol contained in food, most of it is esterified and of the small percentage that's actually free for absorption only about half of that, on average, makes it into the blood, and assuming you have a functioning liver the body is very good at down regulating endogenous production when more free exogenous cholesterol makes its way in. There's some individual variation in regards to your ability to de-esterify, and how much you absorb; but long story short, unless you're in the top few percent of hyper-absorbers, you're probably fine having a few eggs. Where you can get into trouble is if you're pairing your eggs with saturated fat, i.e. bacon, ham, cheese, butter -- as that amplifies the absorption effect. Lots of comments here claiming eggs skyrocketed their LDL. I'd be curious what else was on their plate. Checkout Simon Hill's series with Tom Dayspring or Nutrition Made Simple. They both did really extensive and nuanced breakdowns.

I keep my own chickens and generally eat 4+ eggs a day and have done for well over a decade. With the exception of cholesterol every single health marker is excellent even by the conventional medical standards and reference ranges. Cholesterol is only one risk factor of heart disease, and should be taken into account along with all the others, but because it was easily measurable it has become the default for many doctors. After both of my last two annual medicals my G.P. has highlighted concern over my slightly high total cholesterol and LDL. However, both my last lipid panels were essentially the same: Fasting status:Fasting Cholesterol:6.1 mmol/L ( < 5.0 ) H Triglyceride:0.8 mmol/L ( < 2.0 ) HDL Cholesterol:1.54 mmol/L ( > 1.00 ) LDL cholesterol:4.2 mmol/L ( < 3.4 ) H Chol/HDL Ratio:4.0 ( < 4.5 ) Comment:For most patients non-fasting lipids are acceptable for CVD risk assessment, as Chol/HDL ratio is not affected. For established CVD risk (including diabetes) NZGG optimal levels are Cholesterol < 4.0, LDL < 2.0 and Chol/HDL ratio < 4.0. From my reading of published research papers on cholesterol and the formulae used to calculate LDL-C, the low triglycerides throw out most of the formulae, which adjusted for reduces the LDL-C slightly but still above the high end of the range. However, it is my understanding that the fact the TG is low and HDL-C is high indicates my high LDL-C is not a concern as this pattern is consistent with the LDL-C being of the large buoyant type rather than the dangerous small dense LDL kind.

Yes, there have been many myths.

This is all due to the press and pseudo-scientists getting hold of scientific papers and not fully understanding them. Another case is that we should all drink x litres of water each day - the original paper meant 'H2O' in liquids, but the 'media' mistook this to mean pure water and then the retail industry jumped on the band wagon and started selling bottled water and like sheep, everyone fell for it (though it is good in that they now don't drink junk soda/juice so much)! Another myth is that spinach is very rich in iron - no - it isn't - it was a misprint of the decimal point in a table in a scientific paper which didn't even mention spinach in the text!

Can anyone give me any insight regarding eating eggs when we have gallbladder sludge issues despite an apparently ZOE PERFECT diet? I’m going from 18 hour intermittent fasting to 15 to help reduce concentration of cholesterol in the gallbladder and increasing the green leafy veg to before each meal rather than a massive salad for breakfast. Thanks

I'm on 18hr intermittent fasting, no breakfast, main meal at lunch time so I can use up some of the carbs, mainly veg for evening meal so not much blood sugar when going to bed. After 6 months my blood sugars, cholesterol, uric acid and liver function are normal for the first time in 40 years Dr thought the lab made an error with my sample so we retested and all results are normal. He cant explain it but doesn't want to be-leave my intermittent fasting did. Also Gout and pill FREE Now I'm 69 and feeling healthier and have more energy then 10 years ago. No nightly urinations.

0:13: 🥚 Eggs have fallen out of favor due to the previous link between eggs and cholesterol, but recent research suggests that eggs pose no risk to our health and can provide health benefits. 4:34: 🥚 Eggs have been unfairly demonized due to misconceptions about dietary cholesterol, leading to the popularity of egg white omelettes and processed egg whites. 8:53: 🥚 Eggs are a convenient and healthy food option, and the current research shows that dietary cholesterol intake does not significantly affect blood cholesterol levels. 12:06: 🥚 Eggs can be part of a healthy diet, even for those who are sensitive to dietary cholesterol, as they provide protein and fat that can help regulate blood sugar levels and suppress appetite. 16:37: 🥚 Egg consumption is on the rise due to changing public opinion and increased demand during the pandemic.

"Scrambled, poached or boiled, eggs are a popular breakfast food the world over. Yet the health benefits of the humble egg might not be all they're cracked up to be as new research from the University of South Australia shows that excess egg consumption can increase your risk of diabetes. Conducted in partnership with the China Medical University, and Qatar University, the longitudinal study (1991 to 2009) is the first to assess egg consumption in a large sample of Chinese adults. It found that people who regularly consumed one or more eggs per day (equivalent to 50 grams) increased their risk of diabetes by 60 per cent." Science Daily - November 15, 2020

Thank you for posting. This is great news. I have tried to cut down on eggs but according to you there seems to be no problem having an egg now and then if you otherwise have a mainly healthy diet (we eat vegetarian most of the time).

I am pre-diabetic with high cholesterol and I can eat up to 21 free range eggs a week. Only 1 a sitting normally high fat low carbohydrate breakfast like Bacon with fried egg and avocado and other 2 meals might have a boiled egg with garden salad and dressing normally balsamic vinegar my salads Contain raw vegetables like grated raw beetroot and carrots nuts and seeds tomatoes cucumber and a boiled egg. With a protein rich side. Like chicken, fish or beef. I have seen big reduction in blood glucose but no rise in cholesterol generally feel good from dinner I now eat early then fast 18hrs before breakfast the eggs and nuts certainly seem to help me not have hunger issues in morning I still only have the 1 cholesterol tablet at night and blood levels remain normal but more to point my sugar levels with out medicine back to normal range.

A very interesting review of the humble egg and it’s value nutritionally. One thing I wish to share is that in the UK free range egg production represented some 60% of the total volume in Q4 2022.

but the UK Gvt did change the definition of what "Free range" means to help the large manufacturers qualify to call their eggs free range. New Zealand has just done the same. What some Boutique free range farmers are now doing is stating the square meters per chicken of free range or pasture access

I consume about 12 eggs a day. I prefer the yolk as orange as possible, even though lighter yellower yolked eggs contain the same amount of protein, the the micronutrients will not be on the same par.

Sadly no mention of the link between eggs and prorate cancer as noted in the book How not to Die by Michael Greger. Eggs have been linked to hugely increasing prostate cancer risk. It’s a shame in some ways that ZOE has got so large because many of the questions/concerns here will never get answered. Mine included.

Thank you. Cruelty is also involved in free range egg production (notably, the killing of male chicks and fictitious claims of freedom: refs PETA 2023 and Veganuary 2016)
