The truth about eating eggs - BBC REEL

[@v.e.7236]

I eat eggs almost daily, right beside my bowl of oatmeal, and have no cholesterol issues. My last check w/ lood tests rated my level at 133, which sitsin the sweet spot, so I have no worries about ever developing heart disease. I also exercise regularly and am not over-weight. I gave up fast foods and prepared or processed foods, as well, hoping to stave off that nasty cancer by intaking less crap like preservatives and additives, etc. Time will tell if my choices have made a difference. Fingers crossed I make it to 120. lol

A single case doesn't make statistics. Imagine that you conclude that smoking does not increase the risk of getting lung cancer because uncle Tom smoked all his live and died aged 90 without developing lung cancer. After years of studies and collecting statistics we now know that smoking does increases the risk of developing cancer. There is a reason why all those studies are so important, they try prove causality in correlations we find all over the place. Unfortunately with food is very hard to prove any causality because you can't ask people to eat just one type or a particular combination of food every day for extended periods of time.

The orange hue of the yolk is from the level of beta carotene in the diet of the chicken who laid the egg, the redness increases with higher omega-3 content (especially from astaxanthin). Typically to get the most out of an egg, the albumin is cooked, and the yolk is runny. The yolk is less-beneficial the more cooked it is. Overall physical activity is an important consideration.

[@user-yt9qy3pb5f]

@Tomas Garza You're welcome

[@ReggieLouise]

Astaxanthin comes from seaweed, so don’t think that would affect the colour of the yolk, unless it’s being fed to the hens.

I’m gonna stick with a simple rule of thumb. The things these miraculous bodies of ours evolved to digest many thousands of years ago, and are thus still pretty much enzyme-ready to digest nowadays -e.g. meats, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, herbs, eggs, fungi, spices, salt, and even sugar- I’m not gonna worry about. And the things that we haven’t had thousands of years experience digesting -e.g. factory altered fats, extruded syrups, feathers, bones, scales, rocks, nonstick cookware coatings, plastics, furniture, clothing, and other humans- I’m also not gonna worry about, by not eating them. -Phill, Las Vegas

[@Ermude10]

Well, volume matters too. Just because you can digest it doesn't mean that digesting large amounts of it almost every day is good for you.

[@zamfirtoth6441]

@Death Of Time, your statement is so completely wrong in every aspect, there is almost zero waste produced by the digestion of meat because humans stomach ph is much lower than herbivores, raw meat is the easiest to digest, fiber in plants is not digested and is what you see in the toilet.

Even worse, the major health and heart organisations stubbornly refuse to alter their advice, even as said nutrients are gradually proved innocent.

I avoided chicken eggs decades ago when they really were painted as unhealthy, but not after we learned that was incorrect. Thank you science 😊 Duck eggs are best, from happy ducks in your yard.

Interesting videos but with a few mistakes. You're confusing trans-fats with saturated fats. They are not the same thing. Trans-fats (e.g. Crisco, margarine) are among the worst things a person can eat. Alternatively, tallow, lard, butter along with coconut oil and olive oil are among the healthiest fats one can eat. As for most "vegetable" oils (e.g. corn, canola (rapeseed), safflower, etc.), they are made from highly mechanized processes to convert seeds into oil that are highly inflammatory by causing an increase in omega-6-fatty acids. For seven decades, there has been no conclusive evidence to show that dietary cholesterol caused an increase in serum cholesterol and there have been plenty of studies to show the opposite. In fact, the American Heart Association no longer recommends restricting dietary cholesterol towards this end. As for cardiovascular disease, the single best addition to diet would to eat at least half of calories from green leafy vegetables and their related foods particularly of the cruciferous variety (e.g. cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, mustard greens, collard greens, kale, onions, garlic, etc.). The best things to avoid or minimize are grains, rice, potatoes, pasta, etc. as well as fruits (other than berries, strawberries, lemons). As for eggs, this is just about one of the best food that one can eat. Most of the benefits are in the yolk, so it would be foolish to discard it thinking that it is healthy.
