My grandmother raised chickens and sold eggs in the 1940s & 50s. She didn't feed them because they naturally ate bugs and produce scraps. She never refrigerated the eggs. The hens keep them warm when they nest so they don't need to be cold. She only washed the shells prior to cooking them. Washing them is what makes it necessary to refrigerate them. Great video! ❤

Egg yolks raised on pasture have orange egg yolks, you rarely see that in grocery store eggs! When we were in Scotland the food was so much healhier. Beautiful orange yolks, all pasture raise meats! Food was cheaper too. American food is factory farmed crap.

[@zeideerskine3462]

We Euros do not remove the cuticle from the egg and we vaccinate our chickens against salmonella. In Germany you have to go out of your way to even find non pasture raised eggs. Caged "battery" chicken are illegal. There are some that are just "free range" without specifying pasture but those all go to the fast food industry and large scale industrial processors.

[@mimax4498]

Thank you Doc, great video! I grew opposite as you, didn't have eggs in the fridge till later in my teens, I'm 57 now, and everything you say is true. My grandma kept the eggs in her special basket and I befriended all the chickens and roosters and the geese and turkeys and so on. I was amazed by the younger generations,for some time now, they don't like anymore the eggs, meat and diaries as well, that are naturally produced - they say the taste is different and they don't like it. I hope your videos will change their mind and I'm grateful if this might educate them, at least on how to eat. I thank you as well for your videos and for sharing your knowledge with the world, for the work behind them! ❤

[@disqusrubbish5467]

The color of the yolk does depend on what they eat, but pasture raised may not be that dark orange color. It depends on the pasture. And...whether pasture raised or in a factory, you can put things in the feed to get a dark color - which may or may not indicate carotenoids.. Get to know your chickens :)

[@bluefoxblitz8416]

😊 we call eggs "bum nuts" in Australia. Grandma lived to 97 eating chunks of butter everyday, salt too and cream. It is the ultraprocessed food that is the killer.

[@audreyfischer8662]

I am amazed! I never saw Red-yellow egg yolk. I never knew all the health aspects. I stopped eating eggs regularly because of my misunderstanding of cholesterol risk, and I didn’t know that healthy eggs do not need to be refrigerated. I have no problem with paying more money for healthy eggs. Now I know what to look for. Thank you once again, Dr. Li!

[@sheilaboone8052]

We raise free range hens for eggs. They are the happiest creatures. The yolks are indeed bright orange and absolutely delicious!

Hey Dr., great info. Regarding egg yolk color it seems some farmers now use additives to "dye" their yolks to meet the demand of people wanting orange yolk eggs. Looking online I have found that paprika, marigold petals, chili flakes, and alfalfa feed as some of the popular additives. Also, I have read that many of the bigger feed mills automatically have started putting these additives to change the yolk color. Just fyi.

Hm, I have read that saturated fat is better than poly-unsaturated fat because it does not break down as easily into harmful free radicals. Btw, I generally use lard to cook my eggs, has a higher burn point than butter, so fewer advanced glycation end products. I also would like clarification on the difference between butter from organic free-range non-CAFO cattle vs. cattle raised with chemicals and glyphosate-impregnated soy and grain.

We still have horrible studies that don’t regard other risk co-factors or interpret with sufficient clinical knowledge.

I enjoy your videos as I find the information based on your research fascinating. I trust the ones that you do directly as opposed to others which use your name but don't appear sincere. The question I have about eggs is how many can one eat in a week. I have high bad cholesterol and was told by my Dr that I could eat only 1 omega 3 egg a week. I usually buy large eggs because I like to bake with these, although they do sell small and medium. Does the size of the egg matter as to how many one should be eating per week? I find the information you provide very interesting and I am looking forward to reading your book! Thank you so much!

Also note that caffeine potentiates the choline in eggs, making it more nutrient available. People have been drinking coffee and tea with eggs long before we knew what choline was. How cool is that? Healthy cravings are your body requesting what it needs.

[@firebird7479]

There is nothing wrong with butter. These doctors always talk about gut health but omit the butyrate in butter that is excellent for gut health. While I like olive oil, it does not compare in comparison with butter when it comes to flavoring an egg.

[@jchambers5668]

I’m a plant based eater but ate eggs for a month for protein. In fact my cholesterol went very high and my CRP was through the roof. I stopped eggs for a month and my doctor tested me again. Cholesterol and CRP dropped back to normal. Eggs are not good for me. Everyone I know over 60 who eats eggs has had cataract surgery. I’m 71 and don’t have cataracts.

[@ThuLe-eh1xe]

I learned that in order to keep all the nutrients from the eggs that we cook, we need to keep the yolk intact. So, boil the eggs is the best way to keep the nutrients. Scramble eggs diminishes the nutrients because we break the yolk.

[@michaelbishop9157]

That's not true - scrambling eggs causes a decrease in B vitamins and selenium, but keeps more healthy fats, vitamin D, and vitamin K than if they're boiled. A fried egg may be best

Dr Li, some say extra virgin olive oil should not be heated. Would you please inform us about this? Is there a maximum temperature that we can heat it?

[@iainneilson1453]

Heating olive oil will cause oxidation. Personally, I only use olive oil cold, and add it after cooking. As an alternative, use tallow or lard, which are much more stable, for cooking. Even so, avoid burning, as even saturated fat will eventually be damaged by heat.

[@CoachDarren]

What about eggs being bad for prostate?

[@vi3472]

I am so confused, Dr Li. I am an ethical vegan as well as for health. I saw a video of a a chicken expelling an egg. It was like a woman giving birth. I do not like the egg industry practices, especially how they discard/kill male chicks. I hear your recommendations for the type of eggs to eat, but I feel that eating any eggs indirectly contributes to the "BIG EGG" industry. Also, I have some plaques in my coronary arteries incidentally found on a CT scan, and high LPa. Strong family hx of early heart disease due to SAD diet and smoking (my mom and her mom). I am on a statin. Do you recommend eggs and olive oil for people with heart disease? Would it be better for me to get my nutrients form plant based sources? BTW, I have always been a fan and own "Eat To Beat Disease". Thank you so much for your advice!

[@pizzdecc]

Paraphrasing here, but he loosely stated in an interview (forgot which one) that he supports ethical veganism. He’s also said numerous times that people should have liberty with their food options (junk food and overindulgence excluded obviously). So if you put those two ideas together, it’s safe to assume that you shouldn’t eat eggs just because he recommends them. I think he would have the same opinion. Do what you feel is right for yourself and the world.
