Dont be afraid to eat EGGS! They are among the most nutritious foods known. They are packed with B-complex vitamins, the fat soluble vitamins, many important minerals and also provide a high quality protein with ALL the ESSENTIAL amino acids in the correct ratio. Eggs are also an excellent source of CHOLINE, LUTIN and ZEAXANTHIN. Choline is used to build cell membranes and signaling molecules in the brain, along with other functions. Surveys have shown that about 90% of the U.S. population is getting LESS THAN the recommended amount of choline. Lutin and zeaxanthin are powerful antioxidants which tend to build up in the retina of the eye. These two antioxidants can significantly reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. Egg yolks contain large amounts of both lutin and zeaxanthin. The concern for the high cholesterol and fat in eggs is a MYTH! When consuming high amounts of cholesterol in the diet, the liver simply down-regulates its production of cholesterol to keep the total of cholesterol in the blood constant. Any concern with cholesterol is in the consumption of OXIDIZED CHOLESTEROL. Therefore, when cooking eggs it is best to NOT BREAK THE YOLK. Either cook eggs in the shell or over low-heat in a covered pan until the white has just gelled and the yolk is NOT BROKEN. The bottom line is: eggs are one of natures perfect foods. youtube/watch?v=lmIriClTA8E
