It's funny. People who eat eggs, dairy flesh, refined foods, etc. SAY that they are 'fine' when they are not. They still get headaches, stomach aches, toe fungus, runny nose, congestion, diarrhea, constipation, rashes, itching, foul odors, trouble sleeping, need for coffee, and all the other inflammatory ills that most 'get'. These people who say that they are 'healthy' are so unaware of what 'health' feels like. As long as they are still standing they they think that they are fine. And the game goes on.
dont u mean vegans fart all day & smell like they r rotting.
Yeah, I felt like I was 80 years old, I was just 20 and I couldn't stand up, my joints were hurting so bad, I had terrible head aches, I felt dizzy all the time, could get up in the mornings, I had anemia and no energy, and plus I was the fattest in my life. And everything changed after I've become vegan. Animal products are toxic.
Refined food is terrible, however we are still herbivore
Meat eating is positively correlated with brain size and functionality...so, its funny when vegans are trying to lecture omnivores, they feel "smart" when they are not.
More calories not meat per se. Fancy words do not fix flawed, misleading or market-driven "research".
I dont understand what is wrong with people, they rather believe a multimillion dollar industry who will put whatever they can in youre table if youre willing to pay for it. The man is telling you how to improve youre health for free. And the studies he cites, are available in his site. So you can make youre one conclusions. Peace
+Angelinho48 as much as I know about nutrition I have no idea what the cholesterols molecular formula or it's structure looks like.
Just out of curiosity D know which Institute did the research on this since you've looked at it ?
Because you just can't take a research into accounts you have to look at who is research by and do they have any affiliations to the dairy industry as well.
But I like your point :)
People are horribly addicted to this shit. It can be hard to quit an addiction. Most people won't do it because they are weak. They would rather stick their head in the sand and ignore the facts. But will fully believe false information funded by these industries.
I think this so often as well. One doctor says "Eat all of this", while the other says "Eat none of that", who seems more reasonable to trust?
They want to believe they can keep eating garbage.
People totally forget the number one authority on health- their own body. But most are so unaware, and brainwashed, about what real health and performance even feels like...- they have never experienced it- what a shame... and advertising reinforces the sham.
RIP headphone users
the video started as I read this and was like "I don't get it"....few minutes in..."oh, ow"
Ouch. My beeping ear holes. xD
WARNING LOUD BEEP ON 1:19 !!!!! THIS BULLSHIT JUST BLEW MY SPEAKERS AWAY!!!!
Did anyone else get startled at 1:18? I literally jumped lol!
thanks for this video! i'm going to link to it for all my clients who need to be convinced to give up eggs!
This is just my own anecdotal experience but before I went vegan I used to eat an egg almost every day, occasionally two. I never in a zillion years thought this was causing me any harm, since I wasn't overweight, until I got a check up which showed that I had very high cholesterol. Because I'm young and thin, I thought it was bullshit. But then I went vegan for ethical reasons and another recent check has showed it's now not just in the normal range but it's basically as low as you can go. :)
+Freja Richards Cholesterol is absolutely essential for many important bodily functions in humans. Low cholesterol levels is no guarantee against heart attack. The negative hype about cholesterol is based on lies and is a blatant scam. Eggs are the near-perfect nutritional food. Well, I will go and eat another 2 eggs now.
+Freja Richards What do you consider "Very High"?
+Ismail Hamdulay cholesterol is essential for health but is produced by youre body. Diatery cholesterol is whats killing us. Which occurs naturally in animal based food. Because all animals produce there own cholesterol Check youre info, it can be the diference between life and death.
That's what I would have said, thank you. :) We definitely produce our own cholesterol, in the exact amount that we need. Carnivores don't die from heart attacks due to clogged arteries because they're eating the food they are biologically suited to. We are literally not meant to be eating animal fats/protein long term. The only reason we are even partially able to digest them is because evolution has adapted our bodies so that we can use them for survival in the worst of environmental conditions.Yolotl Flores
Go ahead, dude, whatever you want. Please continue to ignore the MOUNTAIN of scientific evidence that for years has confirmed (over and over again) that added dietary cholesterol is bad for our health and puts us at increased risk of heart attack. I have no patience or energy for science deniers. Or for people who willingly contribute to the suffering of living creatures, for that matter.Ismail Hamdulay
I use to eat eggs raw everyday and seem perfectly fine. Till I switched to an all plant diet and wow was I wrong! When you're sick it's impossible to self diagnose.
I think the biggest take away is that most of our population dies of chronic diseases :0 Most people find out when the effects are irreversible.
people and their emotional attachments just read the comments lol
Seems like our whole food production industry has a very uneasy and perhaps antagonistic relationship with the truth?
I'd be interested in comments on the following:
For much of the past 40 years, the public has been warned away from eggs because of a concern over coronary heart disease risk. This concern is based on three observations: 1. eggs are a rich source of dietary cholesterol; 2. when fed experimentally, dietary cholesterol increases serum cholesterol and; 3. high serum cholesterol predicts the onset of coronary heart disease. However, data from free-living populations show that egg consumption is not associated with higher cholesterol levels. Furthermore, as a whole, the epidemiologic literature does not support the idea that egg consumption is a risk factor for coronary disease. Within the nutritional community there is a growing appreciation that health derives from an overall pattern of diet rather than from the avoidance of particular foods, and there has been a shift in the tone in recent dietary recommendations away from "avoidance" messages to ones that promote healthy eating patterns. The most recent American Heart Association guidelines no longer include a recommendation to limit egg consumption, but recommend the adoption of eating practices associated with good health. Based on the epidemiologic evidence, there is no reason to think that such a healthy eating pattern could not include eggs.
J Am Coll Nutr. 2004 Dec;23(6 Suppl):596S-600S.
A review of scientific research and recommendations regarding eggs.
Freedom Philosophy so if it doesn’t increase my cholesterol then why did my cholesterol lower when I stopped eating animal products and now I’m in perfect health according to my huge extensive blood test?
+Turtles Rodriquez. Freedom Philosophy was specifically discussing eggs. If you reduce saturated fat in your diet your cholesterol levels may drop, but don't be obsessed with total cholesterol. Check your HDL and LDL readings. Lower is not always better.
It's fascinating how the vegan-averse posters at these videos are apparently not watching the videos and examining the posted data themselves at all. Just talking out of nothingness.
Thanks for posting, Dr. G!
How many eggs can you eat per week to be safe? If im a 32 year old male.
i beg to disagree. eggs is rich choline . tha fat emusifier. i ate 4 to 5 eggs aday. and my cholesterol were all normal. the culprit is refined sugar, the preservatives from canned goods
I'm vegan. But It still seems to me unclear the causation between eggs or cholesterol intake from foods and negative health outcomes. Videos like this are great for people who don't eat eggs (like me) to feel better, but they are more to the "ad hominen" then to the strong evidence side, in my humble view.
Besides showing the lobby and pressure from the eggs industry, it would be amazing to really dig deep into the claims of nutrition and health researchers which discard eggs (organics, as they say) as a harmfull food, and doing so but analyzing the same studies and interpretation they offer to support their point of view.
Hi there, I'm Dush a volunteer here at NutritionFacts.org. Dr Greger has many videos on the evidence for negative impacts of eggs on our website, here's a search for you: nutritionfacts.org/?s=eggs
I used to eat eggs every day and my cholesterol went through the roof. I started to feel pain in my heart and at times I couldn't breathe. I stopped eating eggs and my pain went away. Scary times. Now I am very cautious with eating eggs.
When you ate eggs did you also eat meat, fish and dairy products? I'm wondering if it was the eggs alone or something else
Eggs are also calories. Perhaps you simply ate too much?
I would be very interested in a video about egg whites.
Lectins, At least in Pulses and Legumes seem to have anticancer and anti-obesity effects. It reinforces what we've known for a while, Whole beans and their intact fiber aids with weight loss and good health.
I salute you Dr. Greger for boldly telling the truth about eggs.
I haven't read the other commments on here but here is my story. I have been consuming 5-6 whole eggs a day! I was worried when I went in to get my blood check but guess what?! Cholesterol levels are just fine all across the board!
+David Ocampo Ít's not the absolute cholesterol value, but the change in cholesterol.
Not everybody will have the same result because the human body is a complex system. Additionally, as stated in this video if you are eating mostly a diet full of vegetables then having a couple eggs here and there shouldn't affect your health adversely in any way whatsoever.
I've been reading that eggs have a huge amount of beneficial nutrients, so even though I'm 100% vegan as well, I have been considering adding eggs back into my diet. It sounds like the only downside to eggs are high cholesterol and high saturated fat. But if you eat vegetables every day and exercise, a few eggs shouldn't cause any bad health effects, especially if the eggs are organic.
Dave Kenny, "the most affordable" foods are potatoes, beans and grains. Mix in fruits and greens and you will be very healthy. Dr. Greger only does published, science backed info, pay attention.
Wow!! Thank you for posting!! The egg industry is SCARY devious!!
I'd like to emphasize: like other whole foods, plant based advocates, Dr. Greger recommends a diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. NOT refined grains. NOT sugar. NOT vegetable oils and trans fats. It's disingenuous to come on here and accuse him of promoting processed foods. BTW, unless you hard boil or poach them, eggs practically necessitate the use of a processed food (a refined fat like oil or butter) to consume.
***** Notice how you jumped from "whole grains" to "gluten?" Only wheat, barley, and rye contain gluten. That leaves corn, brown rice, buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, teff, sorghum, most oats, and several others. Besides, there's no credible evidence that gluten is harmful for the majority who tolerate it, or that whole grains in general are harmful. Cretans had the longest life expectancy in the world while eating a whole wheat based diet in the 50s and 60s.
This not the #1 food problem in America. It's all the GMO processed crap people stuff there mouths with. Every time I see someone I haven't seen in a while they've gained wait eating fast food and soda.
the eggboard-trolls are strong in this comment section. cmon guys, eggs mustnt be advertised as "healthy", "nutritious" or however else you want to bend it by LAW. start to think, wont you
drbob, eggs increase LDL oxidation. You can verify this by looking at the study "Consumption of eggs with meals increases the susceptibility of human plasma and low-density lipoprotein to lipid peroxidation."
One study?
The nation’s top nutrition advisory panel has decided to drop its caution about eating cholesterol-laden food, a move that could undo almost 40 years of government warnings about its consumption.
The group’s finding that cholesterol in the diet need no longer be considered a “nutrient of concern” stands in contrast to the committee’s findings five years ago, the last time it convened. During those proceedings, as in previous years, the panel deemed the issue of excess cholesterol in the American diet a public health concern.
golfinguna Sadly the meat and dairy industry dumps billions of dollars into that advisory panel, the top guys on that vote on that panel work for the big corps that sell meat and dairy to americans. Of course they're going to vote in favor of non-plantbased diets, it puts an insane amount of money back into their pockets to tell us cholesterol-laden food is ok. :(
+Ashley Morris ...sadly, the body that decides what constitutes of "healthy" levels of cholesterol, is ALL consisted of members taking money and or grants, from big farma, and the levels that are deemed "safe", are apparently lower than median/medium in the nation... also, if I remember correctly, 80% of patients admitted to hospitals with a heart attack (some 140-thousand people sampled), had their LDL (bad cholesterol) levels, BELOW "safe" level... how the fuck are we still being told, that the LDL is the cause of heart disease, is beyond me!
+michbushi *big pharma, of course (damn autocorrect! )
Also, the evidence is pointing towards good carbs, proteins and fats, and not toward low fat veganism. Increasing certain polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, switching to whole grains, avoiding white potatoes, white rice, white bread, having a high intake of vegetables and certain fruits, avoiding red meat and instead having the other animal meats, as well as eggs, exercising daily, loosing weight, perhaps taking a multivitamin. THAT seems to lower CHD risk factors the most.
CAN I EAT 4-5 EGGS BOILED EVERY DAY AT DINNER?
Can you? Yeah.
Should you? Probably not.
Actually, mainstream nutritional science has you avoid white potatoes because of its glicemic load/index. But it does support intake of whole grains and beans/legumes. It also only says to avoid red meat, and not gourge on animal foods and dairy, not to eliminate it, because it has essential nutrients like b-12 and its aminocids. Eggs are very nutrient dense, and in studies its intake is NOT associated with a higher risk of CHD yet Greger is bashing them here.
Is there any correlation between cholesterol and heart disease?
Prepare yourself for an unnecessarily loud screeching sound at 1:18. After that, I had a hard time concentrating on the rest of the clip. Why? The screech was extremely loud compared to the voice audio, scared the Hell out of me, & even woke up my cat. Next, I'm quickly trying to turn the volume down in fear that it may come screeching out again. Consequently, I lost my focus for the rest of the clip, didn't want to hear the frightening screech again, so didn't replay it. That was a dirty trick!
The needed antithesis did not occur here, between the azotic effects of the commercial, and the biogenetic benefits of the, straight from the foodful earth, free-range eggs, which are one of the few, left, sources of a complete nutrient content still available to us.
Circumventing them is not only a folly but, also, an injurious act, especially upon children.
The article does not measure egg induced oxidized LDL but rather susceptibility of LDL's to oxidation in vitro by copper ions. This article, Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2006 Jan;9(1):8-12.
Dietary cholesterol provided by eggs and plasma lipoproteins in healthy populations, states "Extensive research has not clearly established a link between egg consumption and risk for coronary heart disease:
Nice research, Dr.!
Perhaps this question can be reframed. For example, where are the sources for all the 'claims' made by the egg industry? Is it possible that the vast majority of the propaganda promoting eggs are actually made by egg industry sponsors. Now that has a suspicious scent of hardboiled eggs.
There is a Canadian Documentary series called "the nature of things" who last season did a episode called "the cholesterol conundrum" in which they explore a genetic anomaly of persons born with a VERY,VERY, high HDL/LDL profile and take the physician prescribed precautions to reduce their Cholesterol which doesn't work yet they stubbornly aren't dropping dead as predicted, infact MOST people who drop dead of heart attack and stroke have healthy range cholesterol profiles, so what gives?Most diets high in cholesterol are also typically high in animal derived L-Carnitine, when L-Carnitine hits your gut biome they digest it into TMAO which caused increased INFLAMMATION. A few weeks prior to watching this Docu I had comprehensive blood test and everything was in good to moderate range except inflammation markers, I was supplementing ...you guessed it L-Carnitine as a part of resistance training.
Fitness people and bodybuilders get the quick protein from egg whites. We don't really eat the yolks anyway. Egg whites have no cholesterol, packed with protein and no significant fat and carbs. One egg white has 3.6 grams of protein. Call it broscience if you want. Eating egg whites gives you great amount of complete protein and no danger!
Your grandparents may have reached triple digits without the eggs, and keeping their balanced menu.
What I mean is, that actually RAISING the consumption of certain fats, LOWERS CHD risk. Simply doing Low fat, vegan or not wont do much for you. Its the inclusion of vegetables, the avoidance of high glycemic load/index foods, the inclusion of nuts and certain polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, exercise, and avoiding red meat, and having a diet with good NUTRIENT DENSITY, that seems to help, so far.
There is no law forcing one to use all of the yolk of the egg. Separate it, break the yolk, and use only a teaspoon or two of the yolk in your baked items if added structure is needed for pies, cakes, or omelettes, but try the recipe without the yolk first in a small way to test. Yes, there are some pies that simply won't work without a whole yolk, but use just enough and no more than needed for a curd like consistency, and have small portions of these deserts occasionally. It also depends on how much exercise one is doing, and how much carbohydrate and fibre one is consuming in the overall diet that alters how cholesterol is processed in the body.
Who knows what to believe anymore. I recently came across a published paper saying that only cooked and oxidized egg yolks were bad for you. As long as you keep the yolk runny you should be good. Cholesterol is an important part of our bodies. It helps make different hormones as well as being an important part of all healthy cell membranes.
What's up with pasteurized egg whites?
I have quite a soft spot for eggs but I still do my best to limit them to around half a serving a week. I also try really hard to keep my fiber intake at at least 50 grams a day by stuffing myself with veggies and by choosing primarily plant-based sources of carbs, fat and protein. Overall, I like to think of animal based foods as an occasional tasty variation rather than as the primary source of anything.
last bit made me lol. Love your videos Dr Greger made me learn so much this past year. You should get on the telly and wake up some sheeple!
tell me what you think of "The influence of consuming an egg or an egg-yolk buttermilk drink for 12 wk on serum lipids, inflammation, and liver function markers in human volunteers."
A bit on the defense, are we?
Thank you Dr. Greger! You always bring us scientific evidence! I am a Vegan, and HAPPY to be one! No clogged carotid arteries for me, thank you! :)
Can anyone explain to me... How much cholesterol would I have to eat every day to have a heart attack within 6 months? Would 12 eggs a day do it? How about if I ate a lamb brain, two kidneys, one heart, and 100 grams of liver every week? I'll keep a food journal and video myself preparing/eating every meal, just so there are no doubts.
I think everyone would be interested in seeing this experiment, if you'd volunteer for it. Pretty sure you could get funding easily. The reason no one has done it is just like in Super-Size me, because you generally feel pretty terrible after a while and everyone recommends against it. Try your hardest though, I'd subscribe! Might be the first scientific Darwin award depending on how it goes.
Are you still alive? It's been 6 months. :)
There are not pertinent references on the page where this story is hosted on his website either. No pointers to studies supposedly proving that the AHA is correct in it's position that eggs are unhealthy.
Yep, there is a growing theory that our brains became the metabolic engines they are today because of our ability to digest and process wild sources of starch. All green plants store starch somewhere, it's a widely availible resource that we as a species have eaten from day one.
Eggs has been what's kept this country and most other countries going for century's make sure you eat balanced menu. MY GRANDPARENTS LIVED ON EGGS TILL 91 and 94 years old.
So the body needs cholesterol. Whoopy do. As if that's news to the global community of medical researchers who acknowledge the Lipid Hypothesis. The body needs glucose too, but you wouldn't conclude from that that high blood sugar is harmless. Also, people have lived into their hundreds with rock bottom cholesterol levels:
watch?v=RjSmmEzxK7Y
and thus health cautious people will usually stay away from "bad" foods even if they're not bad. That's why so many study's show similar results. But only when they use people that don't care and just eat whatever they want. If they try this bit of chicanery with health cautios people vs other health cautios people the results will be completely different.
What I was explaining, or rather trying to explain to Goyim9 earlier was how some very simple logic flaws got a bad stigma attached to meat/eggs etc and are sticking to it till today. People that want to be healthy are likely to eat vegetarian due to the stigma on meat, these people exercise and live healthy in general. Due to this healthy livestyle (also no sweets) they have a lower risk for heart dissease. But it's not the meat, it just happens that meat eaters are less likely to care for them
came here looking for this, but I'm surprised nobody, not even the doc in the vid, mentions it.
Right... Cholesterol is absolutely needed! Thats why we are able to make our own.
That being said, Excess Cholesterol is harmful to our arteries, and good science (Not weston A price style Ethnographies from the 20's) have shown it's harmful effects.
thanks Dr. Greger
Do you have a wide variety of modern research that suggests that lectins do such a thing? Lectins, at least in Legumes seem to have potent health benefits, especially when it comes to harming cancer growth. The case for whole potatos, grains and beans in terms of them being health is actually quite strong.
Jinkies that was loud, thanks for the warning!
On a scale of 1 to 10...What is most dangerous? Eggs, Steak, Oranges, Apples, Lettuce, Coffee, Beer, Orange Juice. I can't believe eggs (conservatively consumed) harbor any more CV danger than anything else (conservatively consumed). But I could be wrong.
Isn't it the truth that we are all different? Our bodies are essentially the same but individually they are different enough for eggs (and other so-called "unhealthy" foods)to be a danger for some and not to others; for example those (not me) who are overweight and already with high cholesterol levels. The egg Industry reflects this by being restricted by law from saying carte blanche that eggs are safe - in the general sense - for everyone. I have been eating eggs for 70 years and I don't have negative signs or symptoms of any kind, neither have I ever in my life. There is no conflict or confusion for me personally.
In one of his lectures he cited a result from a very esteemed medical research center that the level of cholesterol in veg nd nonveg eaters is insignificant. That lecture is on youtube.
*Whose* lecture?
Are you saying the blood cholesterol in vegan vs non-vegan eaters is insignificant?
(genuinely curious, not trying to argue)
What about egg whites ?
Didnt Ancel Keys say dietary cholesterol had minor effect on lipid cholesterol.
You should check the latest news on nutritional science. Things have changed from the ultra low fat, ultra low cholesterol all, carbs go. NUtritional science isnt as clear cut as we all wish it were. But as time goes on more research comes in and things become clearer.
news we can use Thanks
Just because the AHA is against egg-eating does not mean they are correct. It is messed up that the Egg industry tries to falsify claims by the AHA but, nevertheless, just because a group got endowed with a title that made them "authorities" in the matter of heart health doesn't exactly mean that they aren't wrong
Is there any truth behind claims that the effect of bad cholesterol is cancelled out by the presence of good cholesterol in eggs? The whole LCHF community seems to lean on arguments like "cholesterol never was bad for you to begin with". What is your take on that?
great work.
When a person doesn't want to give up something they find, make up or even believe anything in the world in order to stick with it or continue that life style. If you do not wanna change or give it a try. No problem enjoy life how you want to live it. But use common sense. Why would you want to eat from an animal? You don't see a lion cutting up parts of a cow and preparing it over an open flame do you? But to each his own. Im gonna stick to what this man and video has to say
Why are you killing plants. You evil plant killer.
hamptonbay100 lol lol.why you killing animals you evil animal killer!!!!!

Eating an egg is like smoking a cigarette.
While im sure Dr. Greger would advocate Veganism as a choice, i've yet to see him advcoating a Mcdougall style low fat vegan diet, he does advcoate nuts, seeds, and good fats such as peanut butter, avocados, etc.
Side note: could you link me that study you mentioned? I'm geniunly interested, ty.
Thank you Dr. Greger. That means no eggs for me and my family from now on.
You're right the comments section of youtube is the worst place on the internet to find intelligible answers to your questions.
My statement however was rather rhetorical and wasn't made with the expectation of people actually providing sources but point out the lack of sources from the maker of this video.
I did click the show more button, perhaps you should do the same and see that there are no cited sources but rather merely advertising for more of the authors videos on other similar topics.
Food quality matters, and the right kind of carbs matters, Modern nutrition is clear on this. That being said, white potato i disagree are unhealthy. From a nutritional stand point they do have a good smattering of nutrients, pottasium and fiber. Sure, they are high in the glycemic index, but like all foods can be included in ones diet, especially since potatoes when chilled have a high amount of pre biotic starch.
I certainly do not work for the egg industry but enjoy them frequently as I do whole creme top milk, whole fat yogurt, heavy creme and butter. I have high normal LDL levels A lot depends on your genetics, and what else you eat. I eat lots of unsaturated fatty acids, nuts, resveratrol and consume cannabis daily
what about egg whites
Incredibile,incredibile!
Here's the latest study on the subject (1032 men)
Eggs were not associated with any rise in CAD!
ajcn.nutrition.org/content/early/2016/02/10/ajcn.115.122317.abstract
+Laurent Gaillard i cant see the study
+Sanel Angho I've just clicked on the link and it worked. It's an abstract published in the american journal of clinical nutrition.
+Laurent Gaillard sorry I meant is there any way to look at the study without paying for it
That I would not know. Apparently you can rent or by the whole study. The phobia around cholesterol and saturated fat is rather surprising. I live in France where, though we eat a fair amount of those, we are three time less likely to die from heart diseases than in the states. Refined sugars, trans fats, inactivity, those make the bed for an early death. I am 52, and I've been eating eggs, at least six per week, for quite a long time. My total cholesterol is 1.59, My HDL is O,65, and my triglycerides are 0.48. I eat mostly a whole food plant diet, get enough exercise, and that's about it...
+Laurent Gaillard Not really a good study to "debunk" the existing evidence against eggs. It just shows us that in a certain group of people, at a certain time eggs were not associated with CVD.
Guys this is going too far really, this battle will consume you all
most nutrients in eggs can be found in better sources
More carbs are ingested that promote free radical production? I'm sorry but fruit and vegetables are made up mostly of carbohydrates, and forgive me if i'm wrong but don't fruits and vegetables have the highest amount of antioxidants on the planet? Yet they promote free radical production? That's interesting.
I think we could talk all day and probably not agree on what to eat! LOL! I do believe in eating meat. I also know the way it is raised is not healthy in commercial operations. I do appreciate your politeness in our discussion though. So many people on YT are rude, but you are one of the nice ones!
"Bias"
"Agenda"
Favorite words among people who have no argument. Unless you can demonstrate how anything someone has said is inaccurate, there's no point in accusing them of having a "bias" or "agenda" unless to say that reality itself is biased or agenda-driven.
Feeding eggs to a baby who hasn't got their milk teeth...?
And it's pretty easy if you think of griding the seeds, very easily done in a bean coffee grinder, if you cannot find the seeds ground. Usually linseed/flaxseeds can be found ground already in packets, but if you can't to other seeds, use a coffee grinder :)
same here
I agree the animal industry is cruel and very unhealthy so I don't try to justify the cruelty in any industry such as the abuse of migrant farm workers, garment workers, CAFOs, etc. We should buy free range eggs, pasture raised beef, grow more of our own food, raise some chickens, to the extent we can.
All of those nutrients are found in dairy, eggs, and in some instances, algae and mushrooms.
Lancet 1994 research article found over 70% of fat in clogged arteries was monounsaturated and polyunsaturated...Saturated fat was only 15%....saturated fat and cholesterol are not the enemy, inflammation promotes clogging not the cholesterol or fat itself...
And you still did not provide source.
CHOLESTEROL FROM EGGS IS GOOD FOR YOU!!!! IF YOU DONT KNOW THIS, DO REASERCH!!! STOP EATING BACON!!!! AND MCDONALDS!!!
Thank you for sharing. Evidence is evidence.
this one size fits all doesn't work...I eat 6 eggs a week...my cholesterol is perfect...and I eat meat as well and I'm 50 and am on no drugs...I don't eat wheat or cow dairy or boxed food...individualized nutrition is key, not this one size fits all crap. As long as the eggs are free range under natural light they are good for you...frequency will vary depending on your genotype
Perhaps, I do find a lot of his stuff useful though.
One should eat many more fruits and vegetables, but we also need cholesterol.
The one thing I can never get a doctor to answer is, why does cholesterol only collect in arteries and not in veins?
We can tell by that alone that cholesterol isn't the problem, it's something else. Fruits and Vegetables help the problem, and cholesterol goes down again.
Its too bad that there is a fucking Mercolo vid right after this...
Yep, a Doc Greger show would be da bomb...prime time too...none of this 3-4 pm nonsense...people need to know we're being LIED to about our food!
It was loud, but not quite deafening at normal speech loudness. Better to tone it down though.
