Only if you've been eating them the wrong way.

I was responding to your particular choice of phrasing

But on a serious note, if you do a *search*, you'll find much evidence to indicate that the cholesterol in eggs isn't a health hazard.

That's what I thought but my nutrition teacher told me to lay off today.

Oh? Did they make this suggestion after carefully looking over your blood work and noticing something bad? Or did they simply regurgitate "EGGS ARE BAD, mmmmmkay?"

Another yolk thread sigh

I have 3 whole eggs with a few egg whites every day I haven't collapsed and died yet.

racindude52 · 02-11-2009, 11:46 AM

most nutrition professors were went to school way back when eggs and red meat were evil... times have changed, but their train of thought has yet to move on. I am a nutrition major dealing with this EVERYDAY @ school...

Only way to really know, is to request a blood work test from your Dr, and find out your Cholesterol levels...

If that alone was your only Source of Cholesterol, I doubt you would have any issue's.

And most of the people responding here, are in their early 20's...the effects of high Cholesterol will not hit you for 20-30 years, so of course your not going to Die from it, but it "May" elevate your risk of heart diesese in later life, if you maintain that for another 10 years. But perhaps your Cholesterol levels fall right into the good numbers, and if you aren't already high, very unlikely that eggs alone will be of any concern for you.

Again, the only way anyone can accurately tell you, what effects its having on your levels, is to ask for a blood work test.

Thats a good call... being young is very easy to get away with eating alot of dietary cholesterol, the older you get the the more it becomes a worry, especially if there is a family history

Read this: BBC News - Regular eggs 'no harm to health'

About time they announced the facts. We've known this for years in the health and exercise world!

Blindead · 02-11-2009, 01:00 PM

Eggs are fine, but I wish people would stop acting like milk fat is health food just because eggs are good for you.

FitFinch · 02-11-2009, 01:07 PM

You are going to die

blackirish · 02-11-2009, 03:48 PM

The lesson here is that you shouldn't buy into anything you hear a college professor spout about nutrition, exercise, or most anything else pertaining to the real world. For the most part they simply parrot what they hear others say.
Do some of your own research. There are many good studies showing that cholesterol is not an indicator of heart disease risk, unless you are concurrently eating foods that cause you to release loads of insulin. Either on their own is not that great a danger. Together they will inevitably prove deadly.
At your age, and assuming that your presence here at bb.com indicates that you train correctly, you need to have no worries about insulin resistance, and thus no worries about cholesterol.

well the good die young ;]
