The Cholesterol Issue Do eggs adversely effect cholesterol levels? Most people would answer "yes" without even thinking twice. However, this seems to be a popular misconception, not supported by the evidence, according to Dr. Donald J. McNamara, PhD, of the Egg Nutrition Center, in Washington, DC, who made a presentation entitled "The Impact of Egg Limitations on Coronary Heart Disease Risk: Do the Numbers Add Up?" According to Dr. McNamara: For over 25 years eggs have been the icon for the fat, cholesterol and caloric excesses in the American diet, and the message to limit eggs to lower heart disease risk has been widely circulated. The "dietary cholesterol equals blood cholesterol" view is a standard of dietary recommendations, yet few consider whether the evidence justifies such restrictions. He notes that studies demonstrate that dietary cholesterol increases both LDL and HDL cholesterol with essentially no change in the important LDL:HDL cholesterol ratio. For example, the addition of 100 mg cholesterol per day to the diet increases LDL cholesterol by 1.9 mg/dL, but that is accompanied by a 0.4 mg/dL increase in HDL cholesterol. This, on average, means that the LDL:HDL ratio change per 100 mg/day change in dietary cholesterol is from 2.60 to 2.61, which is likely not even statistically significant and would probably have no influence on heart disease risk. This helps to "…explain the epidemiological studies showing that dietary cholesterol is not related to coronary heart disease incidence or mortality," concludes Dr. McNamara. |

Originally posted by Skib i eat 3 whole eggs with my cup of egg whites for 2 reasons 1) adds flavour to the tasteless whites 2) 3 whole eggs = close enough to 10 g of fat... exactly the amount i should be eating with each meal... throw in a small bowl of oatmeal and booya... a nice healthy breakfast : ) or so i like to think! |

Originally posted by kdwa1 EGGS are GREAT! I had 15 of them today including three yolks.Yes we need a certain amount of cholesterol.It's also a fact that yolks contain lecithin which helps break down cholesterol,and have many nutrients and aminos. So enjoy a few yolks everyday with the whites.Cook em eat em and don't worry about it too much.But keep it at 2-3 per day. While your at it throw in a few shrimp,they have good cholesterol.Yummy! |
