eliminate eggs from our diet. &t the ery most, they say, eat only three eggs a week.

&ny more would simply wreak haoc on your cholesterol leels. &nd of course all of

this is starkly animated in teleision commercials showing regular egg consumers

collapsing of iolent heart attacks in the street.

oes that soun! li%e coo%ie&cutter propagan!a to $ouH here is some logic 'ehin! these

claims: eggs contain cholesterol so the$ must surel$ raise cholesterol le+els. his

concept* howe+er* is "lawe! an! research is pro+ing it to 'e so.

"in!ings re+eale! that in two-thirds of people, consuming (-7 eggs per day had

irtually no effect on serum cholesterol leels. -n the other one&thir! o" people* 'oth

BC an! CC le+els rose e1uall$* an! the increase in CC was !ue to particles simpl$

getting 'igger* not more numerous. his t$pe o" rise in serum cholesterol le+els actuall$

!oes little to increase a person2s ris% "or health pro'lems such as heart attac%s.

nce $ou get past the assumption that eggs are terri'le "or $ou* there is room to !isco+er

the m$ria! o" health 'ene"its that come with eating them regularl$. 8ggs are am-packed

with itamins and minerals in forms that can !e easily a!sor!ed. These include

itamins &, /, +, ', 8 and : in addition to iron, zinc, lecithin and choline. &ll of

these help contri!ute to !rain function, a healthy meta!olism and disease

preention.

ggs are also a great source o" protein* especiall$ "or those who !on2t consume +er$

much meat. "t can !e difficult to o!tain all of the essential amino acids - the ones our

!odies can6t produce - if you eat a diet mostly !ased in grains. &n egg contains each

of the nine essential amino acids, making it a top source for these nutrients.
