I have always believed that the reason we are constantly flip-flopping on nutrition guidelines and recommendations was because of competing special interests funding different research.
I realize it is just my personal experience but I ate far more eggs this year than any year of my life as part of the keto diet and my cholesterol is the lowest it has ever been.
I can’t say for sure as I am no expert but I suspect it also depends what you eat the eggs with, and how they are cooked. I personally don’t eat eggs because they are an animal protein and because they are an inflammatory food but that’s just me. 😊
@@craftycrafter1960 Eggs were fried in a pan often right in bacon grease. I agree with you though, there are many variables and I'm not accounting for many.
Yeah for me it was the opposite, I am on a vertical diet and eggs caused my cholesterol to skyrocket. After I switched to only using egg whites and avocado as a replacement it went back to normal. And I am sure it was eggs because my diet is the same for more than six months now.
@mimi mimi yeah, I was suprised because I at a lot of eggs by that point in 2021. I'm sure I ate at least 400 eggs in 2021 by August. I usually eat 3 eggs at breakfast, probably 4 days a week or so. I always eat organic / cage free though. No idea if that has anything ot do with it.
It might have been better to point out that they didn't find any difference between groups because the "non egg" group was allowed to eat foods that probably contained egg, like pancakes, toast, and pastries. The only difference was that one group was required to eat 2 plain eggs a morning with breakfast, and everyone else was supposed to avoid plain eggs. They were allowed to eat whatever they wanted the rest of the day. The control group could have had 2 eggs at lunch and it wouldn't have mattered. No one had to eat 100% egg-free at all, not even at breakfast. It's also worth noting that many students dropped out of the study and final test results were based on N=15 and N=12. These would have been much stronger points to make than wording about statistical significance.
Exactly, and they also didn’t use vegan participants , they used people who totally could have already been consuming eggs everyday for their whole life so therefore the study wouldn’t show an increase in LDL levels, but only because they already had elevated levels because they most likely were non - vegan or vegetarian and consumed eggs daily already
And in the study I bet that they are eating Toast with Margarine and Jelly or hash browns fried in Crisco. I want all the benefits that Eggs give as well as the cholesterol. Sad that 80% of it in the body is created because of the inflammation causing foods that most eat daily...
You can eat as many eggs as you want, but please remember that only the egg yolk contains cholesterol, not the whites. Eat egg whites only, and you're still gonna get the protein out of it.
I have been eating 2 boiled eggs day for over 3 months and measured my cholesterol before and after. Total cholesterol was reduced from 234 to 167. LDL reduced from 158 to 101. Hdl from 47 to 48. Triglycerides decreased from 159 to 89. I also had Total protein 10 oz a day and Total net carbs < 20 g net carbs a day (4:cups of veggies.. broccoli, coliflower, green beans, zucchini, celery, kale). 64 oz of water a day. 64 oz between almond milk no sugar, chicken or beef broth. In addition of vitamins and minerals supplements.
With egg yolk or only white. I want to eat 2 boil eggs daily but only this cholesterol thing pulling me down. I want to know is it ok to 2 eat 2 boiled eggs and how much was your b12 before and after eating eggs as i want to eat mainly to increase my b12. Thanks.
@@PradeepKumar-tq4ev no way the yolk does not affect the bad cholesterol! I will confirm this in 3 months. I just went to my doctor to review my blood work I got done Feb 16 and my bad cholesterol was 134 (shit was high). Only thing we discovered I was eating every day (2 scrambled eggs). She told me to cut it out and have egg whites. I will confirm this. I am doing intermittent fasting and lost 30 pounds since Dec 25th 2021. Every other reading was good to include my uric acid. Went from 9 to 5.6. No med needed. Anyways, I will report back. My appointment is June 22nd. Someone remind me to come here to see what happened. :)
Eggs are good or bad depends on how you cook them. If you fry them, you’re using cooking oil, which could be a factor causing the result of the studies you talked about. Chinese people steam eggs, boil eggs, put eggs in the soup. They won’t over cook the eggs. But Western people like to fry eggs, or bake eggs with high heat, which might reduce the goodness of the eggs. If you cook them in a good way, you get the benefit of them. It’s that simple!
I’m so sick of the “egg controversy”. I love eggs and would just like to know if they’re really bad for me, just kinda ok, or actually good for me. I’ve heard and read so many different theories from doctors or people who claim to be doctors on RU-vid. It seems like if you asked 100 doctors their opinions on eggs and cholesterol levels, heart disease, and all the other stuff, in the end the results would come out 50/50.
One crazy thing about cholesterol ... I've eaten WFPB for nearly 40 years and I exercise a lot, so my cholesterol score was perfect in 2017 - the one time it was ever tested - pro-active health checks are rare in the UK. Two years later and a virus laid me in bed inactive eating comfort food and my high BMI caught up with me and I was deemed "diabetic" on the basis of one solitary Hba1c reading. I soon fixed that - lost 10KG, felt fitter than I had in years, Hba1c back to normal, but because I still had the label, my heart health score went from 7 percent to 17 and I was offered statins ... I feel sorry for those in the US where these things are forced on them. I fully hope to be at optimal weight within 6 months and plan to put the miles in on my bike and am determined to get the "diabetic" label removed.
@@muchasalud2011 and then what ? This keto nonsense grew from one experiment to see if it was /possible/ to not actually DIE eating that way. Unless you're a child with horrendous epilepsy, it is not recommended as well as deeply unpleasant. Enthusiasm for it is correlated with young men who've gone down the Jordan Peterson rabbit hole.
@yangtse55 yes, stay on that path, throw the statins in the bin, eat low carb, (LCHF=low carb, healthy fats), avoid bad fats [sunflower, cottonseed, "vegetable" oil (WTF is that?), any chemically processed oils] use only cold pressed oils [olive, rapeseed, coconut(excellent for cooking), butter, ghee] "may the force be with you".
About 4 years ago in my local NJ paper was an article about a 102 year old daredevil named Kenny Meyer who became the world's oldest skydiver. He would start each day with 2 eggs sunny side up. He was very health conscious and fit and a wonderful man to all that knew him.
Eating eggs in combination with an unhealthy diet with refined breads, oils etc will be bad, but if those participants ate eggs with other whole food such as whole veggies would have different results, and other factors such as excercise wernt considered.
Cuz they want to prove the point that eggs are bad. Instead, have your eggs but instead of white bread have whole wheat bread and some vegetables and you'll be fine. Maybe cook your eggs in olive oil also
omg don't you dare to say anything against veganism!!!! We don't want the truth here. SAD diet of packaged bacon, caged chickeneggs, white bread, cakes and cookies, tons of sauces and 4beers a day packed with 3 high sugar lattes and 4h of sleep a day vs raw food vegan diet of 10% fat and no eggs per day + lots of exercise, the vegan one was 10% better so HAIL VEGANISMMMMMM It's funny how they treat their own viewers like absolute monkeys and they still fall for it xD
@@Bankai90 idc what's your problem, mind your own business, we where having a good chat until a "Vegan" tries to change everything around them. The world doesn't have to change because of you, if I removed the ingredients from a food item because you wanted to, what about all the other people who want to know what's in there. Go somewhere else and take your whining with it
@@norealdrip4189 Whole wheat bread is just as bad as white bread. Also olive oil? Cmon if you’re gonna use oils (which you shouldn’t) don’t heat them up which will oxidize them creating free radicals in your body. Smh
I eat two eggs in butter with spinach every morning. My cholesterols are both perfect. I do not eat any kind of meat only fish and fowl. I also eat a lot of pecans and walnuts which regulate cholesterol.
I agree with some commentators here that industrial seed oils (e.g, those found in things like mayonnaise, salad dressings, and industrially baked goods) are a much bigger problem. The rise in cardiovascular disease in fact seems to coincide with their introduction into the food supply early in the last century. Even so they are probably harmless in very small quantities over a lifetime, but it's the constant consumption of them that is the problem.
Is it the seed oil itself that’s the problem? Or the ultra processed food seed oil is usually found in? I suspect it’s the second but I’m not entirely sure either.
seed oils, basically any oil that isn't extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil... but more than that, the sugars, and the simple carbs and gluten are causing chronic inflammation which is getting more scrutiny as the cause of cardiovascular, insulin resistance and even some cancers.
i ate 8 eggs per day for a year and my health improved a lot.. 2egg omelete (indian) with bread that consist of mustard oil and 6 were whole boiled with salt and pepper... It was not for test but where i was living, there was no shop to breakfast early in morning so i used to buy 6 boiled egg in night to eat next day morning and go to my college.
The Mayo Clinic says that eggs do not raise cholesterol in 70% of healthy people. Nutritionists say EAT THE YOLKS, that's where the nutrition is. Our family had many relatives who lived past 90 and they ate eggs daily.
and how much cholesterol in mg/dl increases in the remaining 30% hyper responders if a person eats 2 boiled or raw eggs daily. can you please elaborate
I came here after watching one of Dr.Eric Berg's videos where he says it's a myth that eating eggs increases cholesterol...and now I'm totally confused 😕
He’s a vegan sellout so don’t need to get confused ,cholesterol is essential for physiological functions so high cholesterol does not damage your body ,in fact if you don’t eat cholesterol you’ll make more because it’s very important ,I am predominantly eating eggs for a year ,a diet consisting of eggs ,cheese ,lots of saturated fats and meat occasionally (cause I can’t afford it everyday ) If cholesterol was bad then I should have been died until now ,but the converse has happened,I am totally healthy and my health and body composition has improved in this last year
This is outdated information. The latest information from a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies showed no association with cardiovascular disease risk overall and is associated with potentially lower cardiovascular disease risk in Asian populations. While egg consumption generally has no effect on total cholesterol levels, it consistently raises HDL, so-called “good cholesterol.” There is actually no evidence that egg consumption increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Google 'Egg consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease: three large prospective US cohort studies, systematic review, and updated meta-analysis' (Published 04 March 2020).

@@TheZimma Just because statins are bad, that doesn't mean that dietary cholesterol and high cholesterol are good. Would you say that the flu is good because the flu shot is bad?
Does this matter if you exercise consistently and work on cardiovascular endurance? I eat 10 eggs nearly every day along with a couple glasses of milk, and slices of cheese. Im trying to gain some size while on a vegetarian diet and I probably consume tons of cholesterol. Im pretty young too and im not sure if the cholesterol im consuming will really effect me. Is this dangerous?
Stick to egg whites and chicken breasts for less cholesterol. Butter and milk are horrible for your cardiovascular future, keep your pipes clean if you want to live long and have energy and good blood flow.
Cut off cheese man i eat 5 whole eggs everyday nothing happens to my cholesterol but when i consumed cheese for a month it spiked my cholesterol levels i will say eat 5 eggs and 5 egg whites and 2 litres of milk it will give u sufficient amount of protein and u can also add protein shakes cuz u r a veg diet if possible go non veg eat chicken its the best of all for size gain i m myself 19 years old and have great physique thanks to eggs milk chicken and protein shakes keep growing buddy
No need to eat 10 whole eggs man, the egg white is nothing but pure protein, the egg yolk while packed with goodness is where the cholesterol is. I eat 4x egg whites and 2x yolks every day. Also cut out the cheese, it's ok in limited amounts but in large amounts the negatives outweigh the positives. If you're training and dieting get your blood work done every 6x months also.
There was an excellent lecture on RU-vid that went into all of this in much more detail and did an in depth analysis of the recent egg sponsored studies and exposed their flaws. I can’t seem to find it. Does anyone know what I’m talking about? Really good speaker I think it was over an hour and concluded plant based diet is better for lipid profile and cardiovascular health.
Well I have 30 chicken back-yard raise. They produce about 25eggs/day, I eat almost 10eggs per day for about 2 years now,. My HDL and LDL are high, but my blood pressure is running perfectly find, and I'm totally healthy overall. If he thinks that cholesterol-buster studies are funded by egg industry, does that promote that you have to buy their egg-product and be dependent on them, when in fact you can raise your own chicken to have an egg.
Your results make sense. I think this might be because of the same reason that LDL increases on keto. On keto, your HDL and LDL both increase. You can have high LDL but it can take 2 forms - pattern A or pattern B. This can be determined by Apo-B or more commonly, Triglycerides / LDL. If this value is < 0.8 (mmol/mmol) or < 1.75 (mg/mg) then you have pattern A cholesterol. If its over 1.8 (mmol/mmol) or 4.2 (mg/mg) then you have pattern B cholesterol. Pattern A LDL does not lead to cardiovascular events because the LDL is fluffier and is too big to go into the linings of the blood vessels and start to athleroscerosis. Pattern B is caused by LDL being glycated by sugar and then further metabolized to become a more small, dense form of LDL that is small enough to go into the blood vessels and start atherosclerosis. This is known as pattern B cholesterol and it leads to cardiovascular events. The LDL is calculated from standard laboratory tests and not actually measured because lab tests otherwise would be too expensive but if you use gel centrifugation, you can see that LDL is not uniform but it is made of different particles. A measure of apoB can also give you this info, but it is a more specific test that you can request but costs money.
Eggs are an amazing food I stopped eating eggs for 10 days I felt weak and depressed without them, eggs make you feel good, so as long as your Getting some exercise you should be fine.
@darkchaos11 wow! I know you replied to this some 3 years ago and not sure if you can see my response but thank you so so much for clarifying. I did almost keto diet. I am a female, 43 years of age, 172cms tall, and 57kg of weight at the moment. Been eating whe foods for a year now with Greek full fat yogurt and eggs, homemade sourdough, etc. Healthy food I thought. After a year I had a cholesterol test this summer. Total 8.28!!! Hdl 2.77, trg 0.73 and ldl 4.61 something like this. I freaked out. I heard about the big flluffy molecules and ask about the test you are mentioning and yes it is an expensive Dna test. Is it definitely trg/ldl not trg/hdl? Just want to make sure I am the a group with big fluffy parts :) 😊 Thank you so much.
I’m glad that a doctor put this into a concise video. I’d been kind of reluctant to have eggs as often as I like because of the bad press, but then years later, the headlines contradicted this, leaving me confused. For those who aren’t there yet, when they say life begins at 40, I think it’s really that more medical tests are ordered after 40, including the blood test for cholesterol levels, and the doctor explaining the 4 different levels in the results. My results weren’t so good in 2 of the 4 sections, but it didn’t warrant a prescription for any medication, nor was any advice given to improve those numbers. The reason why I haven’t been eating eggs much since then is that I only like them scrambled, and I’m too lazy to clean the pan and spatula after cooking them. I wonder what the results of the study mentioned would be like if they were done on a group of adults over the age of forty.
I’m suspicious on the study because people usually pair eggs with terrible sides like pancakes, syrups, jellies, sausage meats Eggs alone might not have raised the cholesterol but increasing your daily sugar intake at the start of everyday will definitely do that
I love eggs but if I eat them even with French toast I get a horrible stomach ache. I recently have gone vegan about a month now. But I'm wondering about one thing....I went and bought coconut spread to cut out butter then I read it's just as bad for you. Is a little butter on my toast ok??? Or should I just switch to jam?
Eggs? The reality eggs are indeed good for you. My buddies dad is 81 and has heart issues he was born with a heart murmur and 15 years ago the needed th put a metal valve in him.. The heart specialist says he can still consume eggs a couple days a week. He is on a low sodium diet. He is doing fine:) gardening and taking care of his chickens
Health argument aside. Billions of baby chicks are killed in the egg industry. We have no moral right to needless kill baby animals when there’s other food options
Are eggs "bad" because of a lot of company they keep? - Bacon, steak and cheese. ? Cholesterol and saturated fat - is the SF or the cholestrol that gives bad cardio outcomes or both? Serious questions in my mind.
How did the participants in the study prepared their eggs and what other types of food did the participants consume in their diet? Did they eat bacon, chips, candy and or bread? I doubt they consume a leafy green/ plant base diet with their eggs. The results would have been different if the study's participants ate a healthy non starchy vegetable leafy green plant base diet and replaced all their protein intake with eggs.
Studies I've seen and my own proof eating 2-3 eggs everyday, my LDL stayed the same while my HDL increased. I'm at excellent health levels with my HDL/Triglyceride/LDL ratios. Cholesterol isn't bad, it's what SIZE of LDL you have and if you're insulin resistant or not that matter. Only the small dense LDL particles penetrate the arterial walls, the large buoyant LDL are healthy and protects the brain, especially from cognitive issues. The brain is made up of 25% cholesterol, it needs choline, fat and cholesterol, cholesterol is also needed to make hormones, cell membranes and protects the brain, heart and liver. Why would the body make 75% of it's own cholesterol if it was bad? It becomes bad if we're insulin resistant (diabetic), smoke, overweight, don't exercise, eat high carbs & sugar & fast food, have inflammation, or oxidized damage. When looking at cholesterol, you MUST include ALL the factors, not just one LDL number.
Probably good genes, but if he cuts those animal products out and replaces it with plant alternatives (ex. oatmeal, beans, etc.) he most definitely will live longer.
Really? I have no idea since many findings were contradictory most of the time. I personally ate 4 soft boiled eggs (pepper + soy sauce) with butter toast and coffee, once every 2 days as my breakfast. Well, I'm gonna do a blood test soon. Wish me luck.
Thank you for clearing this up. I started eating two eggs per day after seeing videos touting the benefits of eating eggs. My cholestrol shot up significantly from 200 to 240. I have now eliminated eggs and cholestrol have dropped 30 points in few weeks.
@@ChappySinclair may be fats from eggs are responsible and not cholestrol. even i have noticed drinking milk also raises cholestrol but we still drink 1 glass of milk everyday.
My cholesterol also went sky-high and I couldn't work out for a while what it was. Had 3 tests in the space of 7 weeks. Cut drastically back on cheese, butter, cream cheese although I was eating a fair bit, it wasn't anything crazy. Back in the lab expecting better results but numbers stayed very similar. I have now cut the eggs out of my diet completely and will have another repeat test in a month or so. The HDL was end of the upper limit so good, my TRG were perfect but my LDL and the total cholesterol had 3 exclamation marks next to them from the lab lady. We will see. BTW I was eating between 10 and 14 eggs a week for about a year. Also Greek full fat yogurt. Lost some weight by eating fats mainly, kept the weight off for a year and feel relatively good with tons of energy. I still believe though that if it is the eggs raising my cholesterol significantly, that they are healthy for us but maybe not as many a week as I was consuming.
I consumed almost 10 eggs a day out of which 4 are with yolks and the rest only whites. Eggs are cheapest source of protien for my bodybuilding goal. But when did a blood test, the result was shocking as my ldl level shoot up to 147 just after 3 months of starting gym. I find many videos that say eggs raise good cholesterol but my sincere suggestions to people specially gym goers to take your blood test test done if you have been consuming in huge numbers. Now i partially gave up eggs
You should have done only 2 egg yolks and 6 egg whites. That is what I do and I also body build. 4 egg yolks is too much, especially if you're not on a caloric deficit. If you're on a caloric deficit, you prob wouldn't have seen that increase.
Yes, this whole point of focusing on one reason and claiming that is the devil is unacceptable. Usually, diseases are resulted by several reasons including, food, lack of exercise, mental health, genetics and environment. I recently saw the documentary what the health in which this doctor claims sugars don't cause diabetes. His awfully biased view taints the actual facts.
Very general observation to make. You have to look at their average diets and culture as a whole. Are they consuming refined carbs and sugars at excess? Fried foods at excess? I don’t honestly know but there’s much more to the picture than an entire country eating more or less of one food.
As the Mayo Clinic reports, most healthy people can eat up to seven eggs a week without increasing their risk of heart disease. Studies have even shown that eating between one and three eggs on a daily basis improves HDL levels, which is the good type of cholesterol. HDL helps to remove some of the bad kind of cholesterol (known as LDL) from your arteries, so you want your HDL levels to be high so that they protect your heart. Of course, everyone is different. Keep in mind that people with diabetes are already at higher risk of heart disease and some research suggests that eating as many as seven eggs a week could elevate their risk even more. In short, there is research to back both cases. We suggest limiting your egg consumption-whether that's once a week or three times a week-so that you keep your heart in tip-top shape.
Yes in i thought so too that eating eggs cause high cholesterol. But My grandma in her 80s have been eating boil eggs Everyday for many years. Doctor said her cholesterol level good. How to explain..?
combination of diet and exercise. If her only consumption of cholesterol is eggs, it could be low, if she exercises (aerobic) 30 mins 4-5 times a week her cholesterol can naturally lower, and if she just doesn't have high cholesterol in her family it will be low.
Agreed.. One of my frd body builde had been eating 3boil egg daily but cholestrol level still fantastic and l also follow him by taking an egg daily but not yet check my cholestrol level.. This video make me worried
For most, there's no real relationship between dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol unless you're a hyper-absorber or have other congenital cholesterol issues, e.g. familial hypercholesterolemia. If you're keeping your dietary saturated fats under ~ 10%, you're doing the right thing.
Lets keep it simple. Several blood tests showed i had high cholesterol levels. I stopped eating meat products and ate mostly veg for a few weeks. New blood test shows low cholesterol levels.
Cut sugar and Carb, then eating egg twice a day is fine. If you have high triglycerides then take the white part only. Remember, you can not randomly research just observing the egg intake while some drinks alcohol or takes 3 table spoons of sugar in a cup of coffee. If you need a proper research on egg, the entire groups food structure must be the same and carb free or low on carb. Only then you can compare the benefit.
A clear case that much of what flies for scientific research is just a guessing game by either side. At a personal level.......one better do what works for them.
Trust me, eggs are healthy. The healthiest eggs are organic pasture raised eggs. That's why they're so expensive. I've eaten thousands of eggs 🥚 actual & factual, & I'm in pristine shape.
Questions I have- What was eaten with the eggs? We’re the eggs eaten with buttered toast or anything with butter? We’re the eggs eaten with bacon? Was there any jam used in the toast that might have had high fructose corn syrup? We’re the eggs cooked in bacon grease? Any of these added on foods that people have with eggs can raise cholesterol- so it would be good to know what people were eating in these studies- cause most people do not eat eggs by itself.
Eggs are good for you if they are pastured! Almost all the eggs you buy at the store are non-pastured. You can't expect something healthy to come from a bird that's stuck in a cage all the time, sitting around in it's own waste, being fed medicine all the time just to keep it alive. Happy chickens happy eggs!
Sugary cereals are good for you? Oatmeal will sustain you all day? When I eat two eggs for breakfast I am full till the late afternoon and have the strength to exercise, unlike cereal and oatmeal where I am hungry again two hours later.
Man those statistics always show the unhealthiest type of SAD diet vs Veganism or non animal ones. If we'd see a normal low- carb or keto person, doing 16-20h fast a day, eating within circadian rythms, sleeping 9h, eating farm raised grass fed beef and free ranged chicken, eating goats cheese and eating 300-500g of veggies per day while still having berries or other antioxidant rich foods we'd see a completely different picture. But NO. They keep comparing Esselstyns 80/10/10 diet to the unhealthiest diet they can find, in most studies promoting veganism they don't even talk about a balanced Vegan diet, it's usually the max 10% fat per day which almost no vegan even follows. It's a big joke. Just like the whole medical system, which you will understand once you get seriously ill
I am 35 years old and was eating 4-5 whole eggs a day. I exercise 5-6 days a week roughly 45 mins per session (mostly weightlifting with little rest) I also walk my dog each day. I weigh 212 pounds at about 15% body fat. I got bloodwork done last week and my LDL was 195. The only thing my doctor suspected was the eggs. I have switched to egg beaters about a week ago. I am really curious to see the results of my next blood test in 3-6 months.
@MishimaMist My doctor requested a heart scan and found calcification in my arteries (score was 41). He suggested I go on a statin immediately. I have been on generic Lipitor for about 2 months now. Blood work will be scheduled for early next year.
No respected study would be conducted this way. First of all, college students… Are you serious? When I went to college, we experienced what was known as a freshman 15… also known as the 15 pounds you gained by getting to eat pretty much whatever you wanted during your first year. I’m betting that the college students would’ve had even worse cholesterol levels. Had they not been told to eat two eggs a day for five days a week for 14 weeks. And I have to say, the guy in this video looks and sounds about as honest as a used car sales dealer.

Does this so callled PHD talk about HDL cholesterol rise as well? He only mentions LDL but does not mention HDL scores. The fact is without dispute that yes LDL cholesterol goes up for sure but your HDL also goes up significantly and when the ratio of LDL to HDL is what matters and that ratio. I consume 4 eggs eery day and of course my LDL went up but my HDL also rose quite sharply and the ratio of the two was way lower than what the doctors expected. Of course i train 3 times a week but trust me this PHD is not telling you everything. Eggs are an amazing whole meal.
I personally really like eggs. I read that the daily cholestrol intake should not be more than 300mg. I consume upto 10 eggs during breakfast with vegetables and toast. But consuming 10 eggs gives about 1850 mg of cholestrol in 1 meal! Should I be worried?
@@ModMINI I have been removing 6 yolks of the 10 eggs I prepare. But I have noticed that while the eggs have good quality of protein, the quantity of protein in eggs is not that high. Only 11% - 12% of egg has protein. There are way more food items which have higher quantity of protein.
Thank you for commenting on this! I have heard this even from registered dietitian! I want to make a video on this on my channel soon! It's so important for people to know about this!
My buddies dad is 81 and has a metal valve in his heart. He was born with a murmur so 15 years ago they did the surgery. Well last year he was having a problem with the fluid and heart pumping. So they got him on a lower sodium diet and the heart specialist says he can eat eggs a couple days a week. He is doing just fine gardening and taking car of his chickens.
To know about what that you can safely eat 10 eggs a day you can eat as many as you want it's the other garbage killing you eggs will heal you there a super food
Its not eggs we should be worried about. Its all the other super processed crap we eat. Meanwhile nobody is telling us to stop eating that, and the few that do are flamed for it.
I've told those around me that eggs are probably the worst food for your cholesterol levels and they always laugh at me. I am no angel btw, I consume more meat than I should be. But after dropping eggs like a year ago, my cholesterol levels are now back in the normal range. I even tried going back and just eating 2 eggs 2-3 days a week and again my cholesterol levels were way too high. Cut out eggs, lower your meat and dairy intake, and incorporate more fruits and veggies in your diet and it will help drastically lower your cholesterol levels! I am no health nut and am in the process of shedding off some unwanted pounds. But I want to have a family one day and I want to be a father who lives long. I want to be there for my future children one day and set a good example for then! Too many young children are already obese in elementary school! I see it all over when taking my niece to school and feel so bad for those kids. I want to be a good example health wise for my future kids one day.
I agree with this Dr. I ate a lot of eggs in one year during the pandemic. Nearly everyday. 2 eggs or even 3 sometimes. Did a blood test. Dr told me that cholesterol is high. Now I eat whites. It tastes better without the yolks honestly.
Dude it was not the eggs it was the sugar and the stansfats that are in everything you eat egg whites are nothing it's the yoke your after it's a superfood many are awaking to the lies they have been telling us for years about food eat more yokes
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what was said here but what I'm getting is... there the raise wasn't statistically significant, but it definitely WILL raise bad cholesterol... if that's the case, then which is it? I'm confused
The claim is that eggs raise cholesterol, hence the burden of proof is on you to show that it does, not for anyone else to show that it doesn't, and you claim that the majority of the studies support that view, and yet, the only study you show, is one that shows the exact opposite. In the study you showed, the rise in cholesterol did not reach statistical significance - therefore the study concluded that eggs do not adversely affect plasma lipids, which is the only scientifically sound conclusion one could possibly reach from the data presented. And yet you claim it's misleading - there's nothing misleading about it. How about you show us the clinical studies that do show a statistically significant rise in cholesterol from eating eggs - until then, your claim that eating eggs raises cholesterol remains unfounded and this video is just another plant-based agenda driven propaganda piece with no scientific data to back it up.
What about all the people saying it raises your HDL and not your LDL? There r quite a few older people online who claim to have eaten many eggs every day for most of their lives and claim they have healthy cholesterol levels when they go to the doctor for checkups.
I eat up to 14 eggs a week, I recently had a high cholesterol reading of 7.6 ,I’ve never eaten that many eggs, and I’ve never had such a high cholesterol reading. . 🤔 Thank you Dr , I’m watching from down under Australia 🇦🇺
I was a non-dairy eating vegetarian who ate a lot of eggs (we had our own chickens) and my cholesterol was high. Once I became vegan, my cholesterol returned to normal levels without medication.
this is confusing and conflicting. I am no expert, but from what I read on the CDC site about cholesterol, what you eat may or may not eat will raise your cholesterol depending on the type of fats. Everywhere I look states Eggs don't raise your bad Cholesterol the lower density. Obviously only under extreme circumstances where some one partook in a very high egg diet did it really matter. I know the CDC aren't experts not he subject, but information aligns everywhere else. From a short 30 minute research, it seems like Eggs are not raising your cholesterol, but could. Either way I only eat eggs every day for a week, like every other month when I do buy eggs. Besides that I don't really eat it as a staple.
So here we have a sort of anti egg video. I felt it had some gray areas. That study he mentioned about students eating 2 eggs a day, wait a minute, didn't they eat anything else during that time, just purely eggs? No carbs, vegetables, fruits? How about they way the eggs were cooked? Fried in oil? Or boiled in water? I really thought he was going to try and sell statins in the video.
The claim is true- but only for people already on a high fat and cholesterol diet. If a low fat vegan or healthy eater ate an egg, their cholesterol would spike. Biggest problem I see is all the keto docs like Ken Berry Shawn Baker Paul Saladino and keto chiropractors claim high cholesterol doesn’t matter.
@@olderandwiser127 but that is the survivorship bias at work. Those people love a couple years longer but people with high cholesterol have already died by the time they’d be in this study!
1:30 What? What you are saying about statistic is bullshit, that is not an explanation or a valid excuse to believe that eggs raises cholesterols. Statistical significance matter, we should lower the bar even lower then 5 % due to the problem that you just stated. Even if they did, is it a problem? No. What is a problem is if it raises oxLDL but that is not the case here. Even IF it raised cholesterol, there is a question of how much and how much is bad... Cholesterols is needed for hormone synthesis you know and important for the general health in the body.
But is dietary cholesterol bad? Assuming your levels are very low already what would be the issue? As a vegan my cholesterol levels are extremely low. If I started eating ethical pasteurized eggs I could get a natural source of nutrients I don't get in my normal diet.
I pouch my eggs with with water and a bit of vinegar I’ve just had my bloods done and said that I’ve got high cholesterol and wants to put me on a medication to which I won’t be taking I’m also a smoker and In my case I think that’s why I have got hi cholesterol so stopping smoking is what I’m gonna do then I’ll see if it makes a difference
What form of cholesterol do eggs raise, hdl, ldl, total cholesterol? Really makes a difference ya know. What’s the whole truth??? Cherry picking again?
Now if guys can just address (by making a video) the cholesterol deniers out there (those who think that having high cholesterol levels doesn't matter), that would be great.
That's the part I find confusing. You can find cardiologists that say cholesterol is the worst thing possible and you can find cardiologists that say don't worry about cholesterol, worry about insulin (or carbs).
@@LewisCunningham remember too that lots of physicians used to smoke. Medical doctors are still normal people. Just because they have MD does not mean they know everything about health. They are persuaded by bias and advertising just like everyone else.
@@muchasalud2011 of course they have good results. But they are not healed. They just avoid the problem but don't get rid of it. It's like you breaks on your car don't work anymore. Avoiding cabs would be avoiding your car. Breaks don't make any problems but they are not fixed.
Just let them eat all the cholesterol they want. Those who want the truth will find it and apply it in their lives and reap the benefits. Let those who deny it do their thing. They will soon see the results, too.
Eating eggs won’t harm or raise cholesterol. The issue is majority of the people who are eating the eggs are having, white bread with it or pancakes and slabbing butter on top. Keep the carbs low, stay active, and enjoy healthy fats with protein.
