Eggs .. Good or Bad ..
« Thread Started on Jan 7, 2006, 3:33am »
The humble egg. staple of our diet for generations . How good are they .. Questions like the following are often asked ..

I am unsure whether I am allowed eggs . I have a cholesterol level that is marginally elevated, and my high density lipids (HDLs) are good . What is the correct information on eggs to date ?

Although eggs contain relatively high amounts of dietary cholesterol - an average 213mg of cholesterol per egg, consumption of eggs appears not to contribute to elevated serum cholesterol levels. The phosphatidylcholorine in eggs inhibits the body's absorption of the egg's cholesterol.

Under normal circumstances, eating one egg per day does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease or stroke, according to a study funded by the US National Institute of Health. No statistical association was found between egg consumption and the incidence of cardiovascular disease in a study involving 117,933 people who were free of cardiovascular disease at the start of the study.

Eggs are only healthy if they are poached, scrambled, boiled or in omelettes. Never fry eggs and preferably use fresh organic free-range eggs. They should be stored in the refrigerator to lessen the risk of food poisoning from salmonella bacteria.

Eggs are rich in protein, including amino acids taurine, cysteine and methionine. The lecithin in eggs helps keep the cholesterol soluable, so that it doesn't form plaques in the blood vessels.

Eggs . a natural food source .
