Studies Show Eggs Are Healthy & Don't Raise Cholesterol?!

There are even studies that show that eggs DO NOT raise your cholesterol so how do we make sense of all this conflicting information?! Well let's take a listen to Dr Greger...

It makes perfect sense, that eggs do significantly raise cholesterol. Before going plant based, I was vegetarian & my diet was very high in eggs & cheese. So this is probably why my heart disease & diabetes got worse, it was only when I went fully plant based & no longer consumed eggs, my heart disease & diabetes was totally reversed & now I don't have either.

Before I went WFPB I rarely eat beef and pork but I used to eat white meat from chicken and fish and yes EEGS but my cholesterol levels are still high. Since switching to WFPB 4 years ago my cholesterol has never been an issue. I became a label reader as I am also careful of addictives especially that sneaky sugar. Even ketchups are laced with sugar so I buy non sugar ketchups.

I was always nauseous when I ate eggs and my cholesterol was high.
I switched to the plant based diet and now my cholesterol is not a problem anymore!!

[davidhamtaro]

In 2022 i eat an egg a day, 24/7, 365 days, to substitute chicken meat. Just got my blood test (January 2023). My cholesterol went up the roof and my GP highly recommend Statins, but i refused. I’m on plant base diet now, will check again after 6 months.

Eggs are bad. Diabetic for over 22 years. Coconut Oil was causing palpitations and high sugar numbers so I stopped. Eggs did the same thing but much less so I stopped. The connection? Saturated fats. I'm glad I know the truth. Don't believe me? Go right ahead and consume coconut oil and eggs for breakfast.

Typical industry manipulative tactics! They are obviously getting desperate.
I will continue to skip eggs from a health perspective. I will continue to skip eggs from an atrocious animal abus perspective snd of course from an environmental perspective.

Bye bye eggs!

I'm going to be totally honest. I started eating about 5 to ten eggs per week a year ago but little meat. Probably 10 to 12 times a year. Deer meat or chicken. My cholesterol total was 184, LDL 115, HDL 47. A year later. Total 164, LDL 102, HDL 39. My cholesterol has been going down for the last 2 years. The problem is my triglycerides increased dramatically. I believe it's because I've been eating more deer meat margarine and cookies, lol. Also, I was exercising more a year ago. I believe if I start walking and jogging 30 minutes a day again I'll be at a good place with my triglycerides. That's my experience with eggs and cholesterol.

🤨The detrimental effects of egg consumption continues to bring negative effects even though the cholesterol level cannot register more 🩺 The rest of Dr. Greger's video explains that

There is so much misleading information about the actual harm eggs cause our bodies that most people just think they are perfectly safe to eat. Thanks for educating us!

[jadedk]

It's not the cholesterol you eat that raises your LDL cholesterol level, it's the saturated fat you eat. One large boiled egg (50g) has only 1.6g of saturated fat. If you eat a fried egg, the saturated fat will increase due to whatever oil you use to cook it.

Note that Japanese consume the most eggs in the world, but their death rate by CORONARY HEART DISEASE is the lowest in the world.

Those sneaky researchers....😆 Thx for another enlightening video, PBL! 🌱

[haKa]

Ive been eating two eggs every single day for the past two years, I did a blood test few weeks ago and my cholesterol, ldl and hdl are normal, any thoughts?

[chriscrumly]

To my mind - for certain that consuming eggs is not healthy for the day old male chicks heading down towards the macerator blades or the gassing bags.
That's just a bad reputation is it? - I don't think so!
Perhaps they're more 'ethical' for the 'privileged' with land for 'pet' chickens laying the occasional unfertilised egg - maybe?

Not for me though!

[fifteenbyfive]

Cholesterol is vital. Our bodies make 80% of what we need. We take the rest from our diet.

[sugarplumk]

Thank you PBN for another informative video.

[ml]

Thank so much for all the good life saving information!

[shelydon]

Thumbs up for your pleasant voice, like always

[robertusga]

Turns out things are nuanced. First of all, about 80% of free cholesterol in the gut comes from the liver and not from diet. The more saturated fat, the more free cholesterol. if you are a hyporesponder, dietary cholesterol from eggs does not move the needle. If on the other end you are a hyperresponder, just looking at eggs will spike your cholesterol. So unless you are vegan and don't want to eat eggs, check your responder level to see how eggs affect you.
