Eggs.

Eggs.

I did a quick 谷歌 search on "are eating eggs good for you?" and immediately a website called Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) came up with an official looking study titled "New Review Study Shows That Egg-Industry-Funded Research Downplays the Danger of Cholesterol."

The article said, "Controversial headlines claiming that eggs don't raise cholesterol levels could be the product of faulty industry-funded research, according to a new review published in the?American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine.?

Researchers with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine examined all research studies published from 1950 to March of 2019 that evaluated the effect of eggs on blood cholesterol levels. The researchers examined funding sources and whether those sources influenced the study findings.

The results show that before 1970, industry played no role in cholesterol research. The percentage of industry-funded studies increased over time, from 0 percent in the 1950s to 60 percent in 2010-2019."

I immediately went to a website called?Influence Watch?to learn more about who is this so-called Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). It turns out they are an advocacy group for strict vegan diets... less than 7% of their staff are doctors, yet they pull up at the top of Google Search(s) for eggs-related topics.

Influence Watch provides fact-based, accurate descriptions of all the various influencers of public policy issues. With 30 years of research and data on advocacy organizations, InfluenceWatch built profiles that will inform the debate. It also has a funding trail, the most critical piece of information of all.

I slashed my own cholesterol by consuming about 14 eggs a week. Here are credible sources of why you should eat eggs:

According to our?government, here are three reasons to eat eggs:

35 eggs per day in the treatment of severe burns.?A regime involving the dietary management of 8 severely burned patients has been described, the main feature of this diet being the high egg intake. The eggs were given in a variety of forms without any untoward effects and without any distaste being developed. No pathological levels of serum lipoproteins or cholesterol were attained. Serum proteins from an initial low level reached normal values within a relatively short time. It is felt that a high egg diet is a valuable and safe addition in the management of severely burned patients.

Eggs contain bioactive compounds thought to benefit pediatric bone.?This cross-sectional study shows a positive link between childhood egg intake and radius cortical bone. If randomized trials confirm our findings, incorporating eggs into children’s diets could have a significant impact in preventing childhood fractures and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

Vitamin D plays an important role in calcium absorption and bone health. Food sources of vitamin D include egg yolks,?saltwater fish, and liver. Many people obtain enough vitamin D naturally; however, studies show that vitamin D production decreases in the elderly, in people who are housebound, and for people in general during the winter. Adults should have vitamin D intakes of 600 IU (International Units) daily up to age 70. Men and women over age 70 should increase their uptake to 800 IU daily.

Egg Yolks?are most concentrated form of Choline.?Choline?was officially recognized as an essential nutrient by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 1998. There is a significant variation in the dietary requirement for choline that can be explained by common genetic polymorphisms. Because of its wide-ranging roles in human metabolism, from cell structure to neurotransmitter synthesis, choline-deficiency is now thought to have an impact on diseases such as liver disease, atherosclerosis and possibly neurological disorders. Choline is found in a wide variety of foods.?Egg yolks are the most concentrated source of choline in the American diet, providing 680 milligrams per 100 grams.

Eggs are a great protein source but also contain?95 mg phosphorus in a large egg. Remove the yolk and phosphorus is only 5 mg for each egg white.?More than 85% of the phosphorus in the adult body is found in?the bones. In fact, more than half of all bone is made up of phosphorus. The remaining 15% is found in soft tissues of the body. Phosphorus is a major component of most cells in the body

Eat eggs! Framingham 1 got it wrong on the first go-round. Remember that measurement methods back in the late 1940s-60s were not as sophisticated as they are today. Ancel Keys also got it wrong, and public health announcements piled on with a Food Pyramid that launched us into a very high CHO-low fat intake, which then evolved into a high-highly processed CHO intake, and the movement away from REAL food …. Diabesity, metabesity, CVD, stroke, HTN, dyslipidemia +++. Research does this …. But ‘own up’ and correct. ????
