Egg question

[this_is_war87]

Ok, so today I have consumed 3 WHOLE eggs, not really going by quantity but I usually eat alot of whites ok, so today when my sister found out she's been giving me hell about eating yolks and how bad they are for you and such, and I hardly ever ever eat the yolks. So let me prove her wrong, how bad would they be for me? someone who eats alot of whites all the time but hardly ever eats yolks? Only reason I ate em today is because I was out of Olive/Flax Oil and couldn't get my fat intake up. Thanks.

no the yolks are good for you....people complain about cholesterol but its not very detrimental to your health when you actually look into the facts of the yolk and its amounts

[BlueFenix13S]

They're fine. The whole cholesterol thing was proven not so true, and the yolk contains all the good stuff: biotin, lutein, all essential amino acids, and is one of the only food sources of Vitamin D. Eat your yolks.

Your trolling is starting to get alittle boring.

Anyway. there are many studies that have shown that dietary cholesterol isnt as evil as everyone things it is. It actually only contributes about 25% to your total cholesterol. Your body makes the rest of it

[BlueFenix13S]

You need cholesterol in your diet as well. It promotes healthy brain function.

how am i a trol for posting my opinoin? i am in red cuz siamasedream negged me for arguing with him

im sorry for havin an opinon

u said its 25% of ur cholesterol, but what would happen if u eat 12 eggs a day? i dont think ur plasma cholesterol could stay down if u ate that much

i think 10 years from now some of these egg earters are going to have health problems

[BlueFenix13S]

Before all of the cholesterol controversy, people were eating 3-4 whole eggs a day every day, especially those who lived on farms. They were much healthier than most Americans nowadays. My grandpa ate eggs every day, never had a single heart problem.

u need to read that study again

just like in every other study, they only measure it when people eat 1-2 eggs a day an get 400mg of cholesterol in their diet

most on here get way more cholestrol in there diet so i dont think that study is imperative to us

there is no study saying its fine to eat 4,6 and 12 or more eggs a day

And cholesterol in food? Although it is still important to limit the amount of cholesterol you eat, especially if you have diabetes, dietary cholesterol isn't nearly the villain it's been portrayed to be. Cholesterol in the bloodstream is what's most important. High blood cholesterol levels greatly increase the risk for heart disease. But the average person makes about 75% of blood cholesterol in his or her liver, while only about 25% is absorbed from food. The biggest influence on blood cholesterol level is the mix of fats in the diet.

12 eggs is excessive. And rediculous. Most of us eat a large amount of monounsaturated fat. The cholesterol from eggs isnt going to kill most of us

Recent research by Harvard investigators has shown that moderate egg consumption--up to one a day--does not increase heart disease risk in healthy individuals.(5) While it's true that egg yolks have a lot of cholesterol--and, therefore may slightly affect blood cholesterol levels--eggs also contain nutrients that may help lower the risk for heart disease, including protein, vitamins B12 and D, riboflavin, and folate.

So, when eaten in moderation, eggs can be part of a healthy diet. People with diabetes, though, should probably limit themselves to no more than two or three eggs a week, as the Nurses' Health Study found that for such individuals, an egg a day might increase the risk for heart disease. Similarly, people who have difficulty controlling their blood cholesterol may also want to be cautious about eating egg yolks and choose foods made with egg whites instead.

yeah ive read that study several times

they say 1 egg a day is fine but again my question is what about 4 or more a day?

how will that effect us? i think it's bad to eat that many

i kno many on here eat 4 or more a day

12 a day? How about 18 a day. I've been on various Keto based diets for over 2 years. And I guarantee my lipid profiles are better than yours, Mr. Anti-Egg.

please

dont make an accusation you cant back up without knowing my lipid profile

i never never never said i was anti egg

myself eat many eggs

but i wonder if u or i will have problems 15 years from now

it has shown in stuides that more than a few a day can line the arteries up with a wax like substance

i am no ta troll for stating an opionl

i'd like to read those studies....put your money where your mouth is.

i've been eating 3 eggs a day on average since age ~10 and my health is exemplary, and my cholesterol is fine.

Cholesterol --- 169 MG/DL --- (< 200)
HDL as % of Chol. --- 42% --- Below avg. risk (> 25)
HDL --- 71 MG/DL --- (> 45)
Triglycerides --- 55 MG/DL --- (< 151)
LDL --- 87 MG/DL --- (< 100)
Chol/HDL Ratio (risk factor) --- 2.38 --- Below avg. risk (< 4.2)

believe it or not people, eggs are not the only variable when it comes to health. people *warn* me at work when i eat eggs every day for breakfast... the bottom line is the average person is more or less "brainwashed" when it comes to eggs from repetitious media and word-of-mouth misinformation.

no no

i ddint mean a specific stud y

i meant that harvard and other places say ur artieries are ok eating only 1 2 eggs but there aint any studies that talk about eatin 3-4 and more eggs a day

[KingPing]

not to nitpick, but your posting format is getting annoying being double spaced. also your not spelling out the entire word and stuff. just makes it hard to read

sorry whatever if u dnt like it dont read it

i was taught how to do shorthnd typin and it works for me


so any1 got anything to say bout eating more than 2 eggs a day?

[freakmod]

I'm interested in this too. I'm a diabetic and have just started eating 2-3 eggs a day (my only source of non-vegetable protein). I've read some studies that say dietary cholesterol from eggs is not a problem, and then some other studies that say diabetics who eat a lot of eggs have a higher mortality rate..

yea i agree with u on that

id be careful

u see, the studies r usually about eating only 1-2 eggs a day

no studies out there monitor ppl eating 4 or more eggs a day

i would realy like to know

[gfundaro]

I eat a LOT of eggs. And egg substitute. Probably the equivalent of 6 eggs a day, for months. And my blood pressure has gone down from 110/70 to 92/60. Cholesterol from foods doesn't influence you like hereditarily high cholesterol, and it won't just collect if you're physically active. Plus, eggs have both HDL and LDL cholesterol. So don't worry, just eat the darn eggs, they're an awesome food! And if you're that worried, get your cholesterol and stuff tested.

[heyzeus909]

I've had 36 whole eggs in the past 6 days.


That has abosolutely no bearing on anything, I just felt like mentioning it

[jcamp19]

the new study showed that when people ate three or more eggs per day their bodies made bigger LDL- and HDL-lipoprotein particles than when they ate no eggs. That's important because other recent studies have suggested that larger LDLs are less likely than small ones to enter artery walls and contribute their cholesterol load to artery-clogging plaque. Similarly, larger HDLs are more robust than smaller ones at hauling cholesterol out of the bloodstream and, ultimately, out of the body, notes the lead researcher for the new study, Christine M. Greene.

Ok there is info of three or more. Does that satisfy you?

[freakmod]

Thanks for sharing that informative article jcamp19.

Looks like, to be safe, I'm going to have to look into Egg Beaters or some similar liquid egg-white product and only eat one yolk a day.

It's hit or miss really. It all boils down to what study you want to believe.

my latest post was to show that its ok to eat three or more whole eggs a day.

eggs -> Increase Size of LDL (bad) AND HDL (Good)
Large LDL --> Decrease in ability to be absorbed in intestines
Large HDL ---> Increased in ability to push bad cholesterole out.
low ability to absorb+large ability to flush = Goodness


My personal conclusion ---> 600-800mg cholesterol (roughly 3-4 eggs) from eggs is safe for a person of good health with a well controlled diet.

[tweaked17]

study from 2003 using up to 4 yolks/d for a month.

http://atvb.ahajournals.org/cgi/reprint/23/8/1437.pdf

[baarat]

Keep in mind that after the yolk is heated/cooked it's oxidized and that isn't a good thing. I usually consume poached, soft or sunnyside up. Hardboiled or totally hard yolks are out IMO.
