Aug 15 - Eggs move back to the naughty list


		Nutritious breakfast food or heart-clogging k!ller? It seems the perennial question about eggs won’t be going away any time soon, with a recent study suggesting that regularly eating yolks is almost as bad for your arteries as smoking by accelerating atherosclerosis (the buildup of plaque on artery walls), which is a major factor for strokes and heart attacks. Researchers at the University of Western Ontario examined more than 1,200 patients at the London Health Sciences Centre’s University Hospital, using an ultrasound to measure their plaque buildup. Participants also filled out a lifestyle survey, which included questions about their smoking habits and egg yolk consumption. The results, published Monday in the journal Atherosclerosis, showed that plaque buildup increased linearly after the age of 40, but increased exponentially for smokers and egg-yolk eaters. In other words, both smoking and eating yolks can speed up atherosclerosis. The study also found that people who ate three or more yolks a week had substantially more plaque on their artery walls than those who ate two or less yolks – building up plaque at two-thirds the rate of regular smoking. “It has been known for a long time that a high cholesterol intake increases the risk of cardiovascular events, and egg yolks have a very high cholesterol content,” said David Spence, the lead researcher and a neurology professor at Western, in a press release. “In diabetics, an egg a day increases coronary risk by two to five-fold.” But not everyone agrees. According to a 2011 study from Harvard University, eating one egg day a day does not increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke in healthy men. But the findings did suggest that if you have diabetes, you should avoid eating the yoke. The debate over the health virtues of eggs has been going on since the 1960s, when fears about cholesterol-heavy foods led to public-health campaigns warning Canadians about the dangers of eating eggs. Dr. Spence’s previous study, released in 2010, made headlines when researchers suggested that one egg yolk is worse, in terms of cholesterol, than KFC’s Double Down sandwich – a gluttonous meal consisting of bacon and cheese squeezed between two pieces of fried chicken.

Per Eggs move back to the naughty list - The Globe and Mail

Sounds like a load of !! to me. Eggs yolks are rich in nutrients and as long you consume it in moderation I can't imagine there being any negative effects.

The article goes to shirt by even suggesting that one egg yolk is equiv to the to the KFC double down sandwich > Aug 15 - Eggs move back to the naughty list - Photo posted in BX Daily Bugle - news and headlines | Sign in and leave a comment below!

I can't possibly see how eating eggs in moderation is bad for you man.

not it is, this is old news that is coming out to the limelight now

MIND YOU EGG WHITES ARE OK

but full eggs with yolk are a problem for your body. Think about it, that egg yolk is built to produce a chick in 28 days, thats alot of power and fat in each egg. The way it his your arteries is a problem.

Now moderation is ok but most people think bacon and eggs EVERYDAY is healthy beyond healthy and its not.

Best thing to do is to cut down to the egg whites if your addicted. You wont see the outside effects like smokes but best believe it hurting those vains

more nutrition propaganda....the documentary Fathead should be mandatory in schools

egg whites >>>

again, everything in moderation. I try not to eat more than 3 egg yolks a week to be honest. one egg alone has like...60-70% of your daily cholesterol need right? eating a lot could be bad in the long run but this article imo is exaggerating the effects. if i've already eaten a bunch of eggs this week and i want more i'll just switch to egg whites for a bit. Eggs are still a great source of protein and the yolk has hella nutrients in it. so !! it nicca, cheese eggs and bacon all day e'erryday [pic] (okay maybe not everyday)

not everything homey but humans aren't really designed to be carnivores and all the !! that they feed the masses aint healthy for us. if you want to equate this to humans, it's like you're eating the fetus and not the fluid around it. research this stuff. i occasionally eat egg whites but not really. been stop eating yolks, red meat, CHICKEN, anything dairy.....your body is the only that you have. you better learn what you can and can't put in it otherwise you'll get old and have mad health problems. we're not designed to eat all this !! and live normally....that's why we have the most obesity in the world and the highest cancer rates in the world, the highest diabetes in the world......none of this !! ain't good for you at all but ppl like how it tastes and will continue to poison themselves for taste.
