egg yolks are good for you..
The truth about egg yolks
Many people throw away the egg yolk because they think that's where all the nasty fat and cholesterol is. This is a perfect example of how confused
most people are about nutrition.
In a world full of misinformation, somehow most people now mistakenly think that the egg yolk is the worst part of the egg, when in fact, the YOLK IS
THE HEALTHIEST PART OF THE EGG!
By throwing out the yolk and only eating egg whites, you're essentially throwing out the most nutrient dense, antioxidant-rich, vitamin and mineral
loaded portion of the egg. The yolks contain so many B-vitamins, trace minerals, vitamin A, folate, choline, lutein, and other powerful nutrients...
it's not even worth trying to list them all.
In fact, the egg whites are almost devoid of nutrition compared to the yolk. Even the protein in egg whites isn't as powerful without the yolks to
balance out the amino acid profile and make the protein more bio-available. Not to even mention that the egg yolks from free range chickens are loaded
with omega-3 fatty acids. Yolks contain more than 90% of the calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, thiamin, B6, folate, and B12, and panthothenic acid of
the egg. In addition, the yolks contain all of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K in the egg, as well as all of the essential fatty acids.
And now the common objection people get all the time when they say that the yolks are the most nutritious part of the egg...'But I heard that whole
eggs will skyrocket my cholesterol through the roof .' No, this is FALSE!
First of all, when you eat a food that contains a high amount of dietary cholesterol such as eggs, your body down-regulates it's internal production
of cholesterol to balance things out. On the other hand, if you don't eat enough cholesterol, your body simply produces more since cholesterol has
tons of important functions in the body.
And here's where it gets even more interesting...There are indications that eating whole eggs actually raises your good HDL cholesterol to a higher
degree than LDL cholesterol, thereby improving your overall cholesterol ratio and blood chemistry.
And 3rd... high cholesterol is NOT a disease! Heart disease is a disease...but high cholesterol is NOT.
So hope we've established that whole eggs are not some evil food that will wreck your body... instead whole eggs are FAR superior to egg whites.
Also, your normal supermarket eggs coming from mass factory farming just don't compare nutritionally with organic free range eggs from healthy
chickens that are allowed to roam freely and eat a more natural diet.
I recently compared eggs I bought at the grocery store with a batch of eggs I got at a farm stand where the chickens were free roaming and healthy.
Most people don't realize that there's a major difference because they've never bought real eggs from healthy chickens... The eggs from the grocery
store had pale yellow yolks. On the other hand, the healthier free range eggs had deep orange colored yolks indicating much higher nutrition levels
and carotenoids.
So next time a health or fitness professional tells you that egg whites are superior, you can quietly ignore their advice knowing that you understand
the REAL deal about egg yolks.
One more thing about eggs... I read a study recently that compared groups of people that ate egg breakfasts vs groups of people that ate cereal or
bagel based breakfasts. The results of the study showed that the egg eaters lost or maintained a healthier bodyweight, while the cereal/bagel eaters
gained weight.
It was hypothesized that the egg eaters actually ate less calories during the remainder of the day because their appetite was more satisfied compared
to the cereal/bagel eaters who would have been more prone to wild blood sugar swings and food cravings.

i agree
high chlolestrol is not a disease and heart diseases are diseases
but a buildup of chlolestrol leads to many health related diseases, heart disease!

you are making so many claims about the benefits of egg yolk, but you don't mention any sources to back up your argument. Tell us where all this
information came from and maybe will believe you.

i don't know, but i would trust wikipedia about the yolk.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_yolk
| Quote: | | A large yolk contains more than two-thirds of the recommended daily limit of 300mg of cholesterol. |
that's why it's been said that no more than 2 eggs a day. That's why i always eat 2 eggs 1 yolk.

Hmm, good if you can buy free range chicken eggs. Things have changed where chicken farmers raise the chickens on better diets.
Nonetheless a lot of people do need fiber in their diets because of excessive diets in fatty foods (i.e. fried foods). Another source of good fats is
flax seeds that is now being sold at health food stores and Walgrens.

overall though getting egg shots are usually bad for your health due to samonella. That is the reason why people say to wash your hands after you are
making eggs.

i think it's important not to overdo it... if someone is eating 12 egg whites in the morning, they don't need 12 egg yolks... they can just eat 2-3
egg yolks with like 10 egg whites...
