Ok hope more people can get to know this since eggs have being
demonised for way way too long.
When people see you eating a bit too many eggs, what is the
first thing they will say? You siao ah eat so many eggs, high
cholesterol leh. For years people just accept this for the truth,
but it is in fact a food that is demonised based on inaccurate
researchs that are outdated.
But if you stop to think for awhile, why is the thing that
lots of living things get their nutrients from while they are still
in the womb of their mother be considered that unhealthy? It
is like the first complete source of nutrient that most living
thing get to enable them to develop and be born.It is nature's most
complete source of nutrition.
For years it is demonised on the simple assumption that dietary
cholesterol goes directly into the blood stream and clot up all the
arteries but in reality it is not so.Dietary cholestrol has little
effect on blood serum cholesterol in healthy individuals. Only in
individuals whom already have big problem with their
health will develop complication from too much dietary
cIholesterol.
In fact it has being found that it is stuff like too refined
carbohydrate like white flour, table sugar and unhealthy
hydrogenated oil that contributes to all the unhealthy cholesterol
deposits.To think that alot of people think they are eating
healthly when in fact they are getting poisoned by their everyday
convenience refine man made unnatural food source. Stuff like
pasties,cakes,cookies basically anything that is made from refine
flour are infact causing people to have cardiovascular disease more
than ever.
Anyway back to the topic, there are so many recent researches
that debunk this myth so next time if you see someone commenting
that you should not eat the yolk cos it is high cholesterol,you
should know better.
