You say the egg has been demonized over the years? Explain.
The egg has been demonized because of two reasons: One, its cholesterol content, and two, its saturated fat content. Both are nothing to worry about. It’s now well known and established that DIETARY cholesterol has virtually no effect on serum (blood) cholesterol, and many health professionals (such as myself) doubt whether blood cholesterol is even as big a health issue as the mainstream health organizations believe it is. In any case, cholesterol in the egg does not raise your blood cholesterol. And most of the fat in egg yolk is monounsaturated plus the saturated fat from whole foods (like eggs) is rarely, if ever, a problem anyway. www.egglandsbest.com I received a comment on one of my posts the other day from a guy stating that he treats cancer naturally no surgery, chemo, or radiation necessary. His focus is on food , and here’s one tip he offered: ”please stop eating eggs, even if they are from veg fed chicken.” I guess he’s been reading my egg-inspired posts and wanted to weigh in. Well, is he right? Should I stop eating eggs? Should you stop eating eggs? According to Jonny Bowden , renowned author and America’s top nutrition, anti-aging, and weight loss expert, the answer is a big, fat NO. Bowden believes there is a definite place for eggs in a healthy diet, and he told me all about it. Me: You say the egg has been demonized over the years? Explain.

Jonny: Completely not necessary see above. In addition, there are wonderful nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin (for the eyes) and choline (for the brain) that are in the yolk! Me: Name a few good qualities of the egg? Jonny: One of the most bioavailable sources of protein on the planet. Cage-free eggs also contain omega-3 fats, and the yolks are the source of a number of very important nutrients (see above). Me: How often should we be eating eggs? Is there such thing as too many eggs in a diet? Jonny: There’s no “right” answer to this. Eggs should be in “heavy rotation” along with foods like berries, wild salmon, and nuts. Eat as often as you like. Me: Name a few simple ways to incorporate eggs into a diet. Jonny: Hard boiled sliced over a spinach salad, hard boiled as a snack (with fruit or cheese), scrambled, omelettes, even raw in a protein drink a la Rocky! Thank you, Jonny!
