Hello!

Why don`t you eat the eggyolk (is that correctly spelled?)?
Isn`t it any protein in it or is it too much colesterol?

Reevaluating Eggs' Cholesterol Risks

Janet Raloff
Adults are continually bombarded with messages about how eating foods rich in cholesterol can elevate an individual's risks of atherosclerosis and heart attacks. Many such warnings have focused on eggs because their yolks are a major dietary source of cholesterol.
MORE THAN ONE? A new study finds that people susceptible to blood-cholesterol spikes after eating eggs manage this extra cholesterol in a way that limits damage to their hearts.

However, eggs may be getting a bum rap, suggest the findings of a study of middle-aged and elderly volunteers. Researchers from the University of Connecticut reported the work in early April at the Experimental Biology 2006 meeting in San Francisco.
Cholesterol moves through blood within capsulelike structures known as lipoproteins. Yes, ingestion of several eggs a day does tend to increase blood concentrations of cholesterol, particularly the amount circulating in low-density lipoproteins (LDLs)—the so-called bad cholesterol. However, the new study showed, eating eggs can also increase the amount of cholesterol in high-density lipoproteins (HDLs)—the good cholesterol.
Moreover, the new study showed that when people ate three or more eggs per day their bodies made bigger LDL- and HDL-lipoprotein particles than when they ate no eggs. That's important because other recent studies have suggested that larger LDLs are less likely than small ones to enter artery walls and contribute their cholesterol load to artery-clogging plaque. Similarly, larger HDLs are more robust than smaller ones at hauling cholesterol out of the bloodstream and, ultimately, out of the body, notes the lead researcher for the new study, Christine M. Greene.
In fact, she notes, her team's accumulating data indicate that most people's bodies handle the cholesterol from eggs in a way that is least likely to harm the heart.
Cholesterol warnings have especially scared elderly people away from eggs, says Greene. And that's a shame, she adds, because eggs are an affordable and easy-to-eat source of high-quality protein for this population. The new findings, Greene says, contribute to a growing body of data suggesting that eggs shouldn't be construed "as a dietary evil."










Just a little info...
I eat an egg just about every day!

I may be wrong, but I thought the yolk is the part that has all the fat, and we're supposed to be limiting our fat intake.

[BOOTS]

I Eat The Whole Egg. Yes It Has Fat In The Yolk But For The Little Bit We Eat All Day If You Ate The Yolk You Would Be Fine And You Fat Intake Would Still Be Way Low

i eat the whole egg too, not a big egg eater so i figure when i do eat one it cant hurt too much??

[Ladyhawk]

I eat the whole egg too. Don't care much for just the white part, so I eat the whole thing. I need the protein you get with eggs. Small amount to eat and good protein. But I have to make sure they are moist are they don't stay down. Good think I know how to make my own salsa...LOL

[BreeChick]

huh? don't eat egg yolk?
some people seem in the beginning to have trouble with eggs, specifically the yolk. dunno why though.

as to the fat intake...I eat high fat and I still have TOO low cholesterol.
