Another Reason Why Eggs Actually Lower the Risk of Heart Disease

The higher the yolk is heated, the more likely oxidation of cholesterol will occur. This is especially true when it is combined with egg white (as in scrambled eggs) because the iron present in the white will further oxidize the cholesterol. Our blood vessels do not have receptors for cholesterol, only for oxidized cholesterol. So, you can eat as many eggs as you like, without worrying about cholesterol, as long as you don't cook the yolks.

interesting!
I always knew that dietary cholesterol had no effects on blood cholestrol levels.
its the trans fats and saturated fats we need to watch out for!

So I guess I should cook my eggs sunny side up from now on instead of scrambled?

I'm going to dump them raw, its replacing my milk for shakes. Since he warns of the cooked yolk though, sunny side up does sound best for cooked.

I definitely enjoy sitting down to a meal of ~3 dozen fried eggs. For me that can be just as delectable as some refeeds. And all those years I thought that was bad for me

I am usually quite leary of articles posted on mercola's site, but this is not the first place I have heard to avoid overcooking the yolks. That is usually how I fry them anyhow.

I used to have 11 eggs at a time with 2-3 yolks, but never 3 dozen at one sitting

I have read from john berardi's website that only half of the protein from raw eggs is usuable by the body.

Just remember that despite how buff Rocky was, raw eggs suck, and we???re not talking about salmonella poisoning (although that risk does still exist to some extent despite improvements made by egg distributors over the last few years). According to a study found by John Berardi, the body can only utilize about half of the protein found in raw egg products. So not only are you risking getting sick, you???re wasting your money. Lesson: Cook your eggs!

that was the only thing that was keeping me from downing raw egss, i don't want to waste my precious protein.
