22. Good News
- www.enc-online.org
- The Good News About Eggs Just Got Better.
- Over the years there has been considerable debate whether eggs in the diet contribute to elevated plasma cholesterol levels and heart disease risk, or whether this is just an overly simplistic view equating dietary cholesterol with plasma cholesterol. ...
- But now that all seems to be changing and the consensus based on opinion is slowly giving way to an avalanche of research data showing that eggs are not the serious health concern they have been portrayed to be. Over the years eggs have literally become the icon for high cholesterol, both dietary and plasma, and it has taken considerable research efforts to prove that they do not belong in the "bad food group. ...
- Eggs and Heart Disease Risk.
- Interestingly, the investigators also found no significant increase in relative risk of coronary disease in a small subset of the study group who consumed two or more eggs a day relative to those who never consumed eggs (multivariate relative risk for women was 0. ...
- regarding eggs and health. ...
- The consistency of the data showing that the cholesterol in eggs is not related to coronary heart disease risk should at some point in time raise questions regarding the need for specific numerical restrictions of egg consumption by the general public ("no more than 3 to 4 whole eggs a week"). ...
- Most people eat two eggs, rather than one egg in a serving a single meal that contains double the amount of suggested dietary cholesterol. ... I guess eggs are to blame for the company they keep hanging around those high saturated fat foods. Does this mean that if people who eat those high saturated fat foods don't eat eggs they'll not be tempted to eat them or that if people who are now avoiding those high saturated fat food started eating eggs their prudent diets would be ruined? And with this logic shouldn't we also restrict the consumption of peas to assure that the public doesn't put butter on them? I guess if eggs aren't the plasma cholesterol raising problem we think they are then at least guilt by association is one way to maintain a rather outdated, scientifically unsubstantiated restriction on their consumption.
- And what about the over consumption with all those people eating two eggs a day? The data from the Harvard study did not find that this was a documentable health concern, and per capita consumption data certainly argues against it becoming a population wide problem for the public. ... egg consumption was in 1945 with a per capita intake of 405 eggs per person per year. ... 8 eggs per week or 1. 1 eggs per day. Todays intake is 244 eggs per person per year or 4. 7 eggs per week, 0. 7 eggs per day. ... Whether a consumer chooses to eat their 7+ eggs a week one a day or a couple every few days really shouldn't matter to the AHA, unless, of course, one needs to find argumants for protecting that decision to restrict eggs in the diet made over 25 years ago.
