[@CarbageMan]

I'm a little confused. Are you saying with my homocysteine of 13.5, I should simply supplement, or could benefit from altering my diet, or both? I have degenerative disc disease, and going magnesium supplementation and keto have changed my life (seemingly, so has benfotiamine.) The higher my ketones, the generally better I do. I do have flair-ups, and I take all kinds of supposedly anti-inflammatory substances. WRT eggs (and apparently beef) would I benefit from more or less? Is there a list you trust? PS: You probably know my doctor in Denver, and he didn't say anything about my homocysteine level. 😕 I'm also trying to lower my iron (or rather, RBC, hemoglobin and hematocrit, which are all three high) so I give blood every 10 weeks.

Thank you for recognizing this. My little brother came home from school and said they were teaching him that whole milk was the least healthiest, less healthy than reduced fat milk. I have no degrees but it’s my understanding that you need the fat and the least amount of pasteurization. More fat so there’s more vitamin and mineral absorption, and pasteurization kills more good than bad. Leaving behind lots of DEAD bacteria from pasteurization. Anybody remember when fda was contaminating milk at supermarkets to force them into pasteurization processes? Eventually putting local farmers out of business due to “safety” standards. One time they actually got brought to court because of their evil doings, so when they LOST their case, they just contaminated the same supermarkets milk until they could no longer afford the court fees. It’s almost as if the FDA/EPA are forms of control beyond our comprehension all the way down the the very studies they choose to base their regulations on. You even see it with wild game management in some states with pigs, wolves, and other animals

[@Kapibarrr-jh7ul]

​@@nenadcveleUnfortunately in this particular case the numbers he shows seem to be misinterpreted. The only study I could find that compares whole eggs to egg whites (van Vliet 2017) did show that whole egg consumption resulted in more muscle synthesis, but they did not show that 50% number, and more importantly while they did match protein content between interventions, they did not match the fat content (i.e. the egg-white only group consumed zero fats), which probably explains the difference. In any kind of balanced diet the egg whites would probably be consumed with healthy fats, likely resulting in comparable protein utilization. Also, looking at the comments it seems that most viewers missed the part where healthy whole eggs only come from pasture-raised (not even free-range) hens that are not fed soy and corn (or at least are fed high-oleic varieties of soy and corn), which are exceedingly rare. The vast majority of people eating 4 or more whole eggs a day receive excessive amounts of linoleic acid (omega 6 PUFA) with those eggs and that is not healthy!

My dad has over 20000 chickens on a 120 hectare certified organic citrus farm. They eat a completely organic non-gmo feed. He designed is own mobile home where 300 chickens stay closed in and safe at night to protect them from predators. The mobile home also has close to 50 private “rooms” which each chicken can creep in and lay an egg. They sleep from 6pm - 5am. During the day they roam underneath the citrus trees and hunt the little bugs, eat, drink water, take a sand baths, chase each other and rest. The eggs are sooooo beautiful and quite large. Not to mention extremely tasty. We call them the happiest chickens in South Africa. I believe they truly are because none of them are scared of human interaction.

A tip on a totally different topic. Lots of people use canned beans but they have trouble digesting them because of the lectins in the beans. Soaking them overnight is a great way to reduce lectins (these cause bloating and gas) but pressure cooking them after soaking also reduces a lot of the lectins. If you don't want to do that the only brand of canned beans that are presoaked and pressure cooked before canning are Eden beans.

November last year I had my blood tests done. And though my blood pressure was normal, and cholesterol a tiny bit too high, I was told that I was prediabetic. I decided enough was enough. For nine months I've been working out daily, cut out practical all cereals, legumes and starchy vegetables (except oats, I love my oats) and eaten a diet containing basically of meat, vegetables and dairy, while counting my calorie intake. Eggs has been my go-to protein. I've gone through 1,5-2 trays a week (15 per tray) as it was the cheapest. Both the eggs and meat comes from a local farm that raise their animals on pastures. Two months ago I had my blood tested again: Blood pressure even lower, cholesterol within normal ranges, the amount of blood lipid more than halved and no longer prediabetic. I've also lost nearly 30kg, and is only 8kg from my target weight. Once I reach that goal I'll stop CICO and do rolling fasts for real.

" . . . choke on their toast and orange juice . . ." Priceless! Also in this presentation is a better framework for choosing protein sources, especially for preventing sarcopenia. Looks like it's even more important to get pastured eggs than pastured meat! And I can save money by discontinuing krill oil supplements, since just one quality egg has 4x as much DHA as one little red softgel. (The astaxanthin they supply can be perhaps replaced by a suitable exposure to sunlight-induced production of melatonin at the mitochondrial level -- my only regret is that no one can turn a money profit from my daily walk in the fresh air and sunshine, even on overcast days.) Recently learned another way to do up the scrambled eggs with the same gently heated principles in mind. Start with eggs warmer than refrigerator-cold if possible. Won't hurt them a bit to be out on the counter for an hour or so. Then, whisk together with salt and rest for 15 minutes (improves flavor and alters protein matrix favorably before cooking). Before adding to the pan, add your cold butter to the eggs -- diced small enough to help keep the mix from heating too quickly. Finally, frequently stirring while cooking and removal from pan while still "too wet" -- the carryover heat will finish them just right, as your technique improves.

I get 10 doz per week lately and I water glass and dehydrate them for long term storage. Don’t want to ever run out! I am about to start another egg fast. I did one a few years ago when I was very ill from acute tick diseases. It helped tremendously. I did 6 raw eggs daily in full fat coconut milk. I’ll do similar again. Choline is necessary to heal the cell membrane & mitochondria which are damaged by toxic indoor mold (which destroyed my health before I got the tick bite that took me over the edge and nearly killed me).

Lean mass hyper responder. If you are lean, and keep carbs low, your LDL will go up. Not a big deal as long as your triglycerides are low.

Also many people who eat a true lo carb diet have a higher LDL because LDL is the transporter of fat through our body to feed our cells energy. It’s not a problem at all and isn’t even the right marker to look at. Just by mainstream medicine because they can sell a drug to lower it. If you fall for this and take a drug to lower LDL there is no improvement in all cause mortality, and many studies show low LDL to equate to higher all cause mortality .

Thank You Harold Mack. Maybe 267 is the number you are supposed to be. We have to get past the idea that less is better. I'm not saying that it is good or bad though. We need to look at the big picture. What is happening to inflammation. CRP, homocysteine, insulin, C-peptide, LDL size etc. It could also be that you are having a reaction to one or more of those "healthy" foods. Even if I cover them on my videos and even if they are super foods for 90% of people, they can affect you differently. Triglycerides going from 199 to 113 is great, but still a bit high. If you are on LCHF, I would expect to see triglycerides in the 50-80 range. Probably some insulin resistance lingering.

It's about 4 years since I don't use sugar at all, i drink even coffee without it. But I'm not too severe, at a party I'll eat cake and drink a glass of coca cola, It's just in rare special occasions. The beautiful thing is that our sense of taste changes based on what we consume. When I stopped putting sugar into coffee it was very unpleasant, after a while i got used to it and now i like coffe without sugar and i enjoy the bitterness, with sugar it tastes weird and unpleasant.

Great video, every second was packed full of great info! But real quick, could you explain the tie-in relation of MTHFR and Homocysteine to eggs? I think you missed making the direct connection, but it appears that you indirectly tying them in by mentioning the B vitamins, which, as you explained, eggs contain in abundance.

[@angelaengle12]

This is fascinating. I love the deep dive into this topic of a food I have always loved. I do have a question though; is there a way to tell if one is not converting homocysteine properly (like outward body signs)? Does one only find this out through blood tests?

[@Alphacentauri819]

You can do blood tests. Also find out if you have the MTHFR gene mutation, as that can affect homocysteine levels. Look up symptoms of elevated homocysteine...you can find a general list.

[@Alphacentauri819]

@Taiwo Omotosho as a former medical professional...I'm fully aware. HOWEVER, it would behoove some to know, especially if exhibiting symptoms that correlate with elevated homocysteine. Additionally, some B vitamins (non-methylated) etc, can actually cause serious issues for certain populations.

[@Obetok]

Dr Ekberg, thank you so much for this very good information that is very well-presented. I really appreciate how you educate people based on scientific basis. At least for now, I will not worry about eating at most 5 eggs a day.

I went from 198lbs to 165lbs in about a month and a half eating 4-5 eggs cooked in a 1tbsp of coconut oil and ghee about 3hrs after waking up with 2 pieces of bacon, half an avocado and some organic black olives everyday with intermittent fasting. Eggs are 100% super food.

Did you eat only this everyday for a month? How did you deal with the monotony of the same thing everyday?

[@gman9024]

When I first moved out I ate eggs every single day around 8 eggs a day. Eggs and toast is all I ate for a good solid 6 months and some cheese and milk, I've never felt better in my life than when I was on that diet Eggs are nature's multivitamin
