I have always been a supporter of good ole' Mr. Egg. I mean the poor guy has gotten such a bad rap in recent years. From the "experts" telling you a simple egg contains too much fat to being told that you must avoid eggs to protect your cholesterol numbers.
Think about this for a second.
Do you really believe your daily egg intake is what's contributing to your high cholesterol?
Well, if you still think the safe bet is to avoid eggs, you may want to see this latest research. Researchers at Surrey University in England have proven that eating two eggs a day can help cut cholesterol and lose weight. The study compared close to 50 overweight individuals and compared one group who ate two eggs a day as part of a reduced calorie diet and another who cut out the eggs while still following a reduced calorie diet.
After 4 weeks both groups lost weight and lowered their cholesterol.
The research study provides further proof that eggs are indeed good for you. There is no convincing evidence to place a link with our intake of dietary cholesterol and the increased risk for coronary heart disease.
It goes to show the saturated fat you are consuming in pastry, processed meats, biscuits and cakes is more likely adding to your blood cholesterol levels than dear old Mr. Egg, who is low in saturated fat.
Eggs have plently of health benefits from providing a great source of protein to satiety when eaten first thing in the morning.
Egg yolks, the yellow insie that most people are afraid of, actually contains essential fatty acids that in only a few a day can supply you with more nutrients than you get from your daily multi vitamin!
Eggs can be cooked and used in more ways than I can explain in this article.
So, ask yourself this again?
What is truly causing your high blood cholesterol?
Not Mr. Egg!
