TRUTH ABOUT EGGS

I do not understand the reasoning for just eating the egg whites and smoothering them with cheese and the like because they do not taste good. Isn't that defeating the purpose of just eating the egg white. I do not think there is anything wrong with eating eggs every day. The yoke is the best part. I have this argument with my dad whenever the discussion comes up. Oh, my favorite let's eat processed egg whites in a box because you are to lazy to separate them yourself. People, whole eggs are good for you. My dad also eats meat that comes from a four legged animal atleast 5 times a week, and he is worried about egg yokes. Also, everything in moderation right. I think eating the entire egg benefits you more then they hurt your body. The same fools say that avocados are bad for you too.

Whole eggs or egg whites are great... What I do because I need the saturated fat, I use 2 regular eggs and the rest are egg whites.

for example...
Eggs are great for the eyes. According to one study, an egg a day may prevent macular degeneraton due to the carotenoid content, specifically lutein and zeaxanthin. Both nutrients are more readily available to our bodies from eggs than from other sources.

2. In another study, researchers found that people who eat eggs every day lower their risk of developing cataracts, also because of the lutein and zeaxanthin in eggs.

3. One egg contains 6 grams of high-quality protein and all 9 essential amino acids.

4. According to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health, there is no significant link between egg consumption and heart disease. In fact, according to one study, regular consumption of eggs may help prevent blood clots, stroke, and heart attacks.

5. They are a good source of choline. One egg yolk has about 300 micrograms of choline. Choline is an important nutrient that helps regulate the brain, nervous system, and cardiovascular system.

6. They contain the right kind of fat. One egg contains just 5 grams of fat and only 1.5 grams of that is saturated fat.

7. New research shows that, contrary to previous belief, moderate consumption of eggs does not have a negative impact on cholesterol. In fact, recent studies have shown that regular consumption of two eggs per day does not affect a person's lipid profile and may, in fact, improve it. Research suggests that it is saturated fat that raises cholesterol rather than dietary cholesterol.

8. Eggs are one of the only foods that contain naturally occurring vitamin D.

9. Eggs may prevent breast cancer. In one study, women who consumed at least 6 eggs per week lowered their risk of breast cancer by 44%.

10. Eggs promote healthy hair and nails because of their high sulphur content and wide array of vitamins and minerals. Many people find their hair growing faster after adding eggs to their diet, especially if they were previously deficient in foods containing sulphur or B12.

Yes, I love eggs! I hate it when people side eye me and tell me eggs are bad for you and I am going to have horrible cholesterol. No. Eggs fried in a cup of grease are not the only way to eat them and I don't think anyone has ever had a heart attack from eating hardboiled eggs. I hate that eggs have such a bad rap because they are wonderful. I eat at least 2 a day and would gladly eat more if it didn't mean more trips to the store.
