Eggs, Choline Bisulfate, and TMAO

Question: Eggs, Choline Bisulfate, and TMAO

If you really want to know what eggs are doing to your TMAO, then I'm pretty sure Cleveland Clinic has a TMAO blood test, and that would be the best way to do it. Yeah, the Cleveland heart lab has a TMAO blood test, so you could test your response to this. If you didn't want to test, then if you assumed the worst case scenario, I would say you could probably just eat two eggs at a time and you would not raise your TMAO that much, but if you do test TMAO, you can probably show that you might be able to get away with eating six eggs at a time and not raise your TMAO that much.

But the thing is, I don't think you're going to get the same response from six eggs at a time as in that study, as you would get from eating two eggs separated and spread out from the day. And the reason is I think the TMAO is mostly generated from the choline that does not get absorbed in the small intestine, going to the colon, being available to the microbiome. So if you lower the dose of eggs and spread them out, then you should be able to kind of totally head off significant TMAO generation.

Would have loved to see what the TMAO levels are for Ketogenic diets.

If egg yolks are predominantly PC why do all the formulas want to calculate the amount of choline in a lecithin supplement rather than the amount of PC? Shouldn't a direct comparison be the PC content of lecithin vs the PC content of egg yolk?

I have been eating daily one egg except Saturdays since childhood. I'm 65 years old male. My LDL cholesterol is gradually increasing since last few years and in March this year was in 140s. I'm not taking any medications as of now.

Can calcium-d glucarate potentially help detox environmental toxins, micro plastics and xenoestrogens from the body?

There needs to be a follow up of seeing if it is increased due to varied and irresponsible eating from diabetics, unhealthy people. How do keto eaters fair? Asking as only a beer diet seems to substitute the keto diet.
