Are Eggs Healthy?... Compared to What?

When people ask me if certain foods are healthy, I always like to ask them "compared to what?" This is a good way to give the food in question some context and open up a discussion on health.

You make awesome videos that are easily shareable with my non-vegan friends interested in health and fitness. Keep it up man!

[PotatoStrong]

Thanks for the mention Derek. Great video!

[TerraNovaBoys]

Thanks for the info on the website. I think that's really important that you just taught us how to research our own food to try and decide ourselves what we should choose to eat.

[jallen]

I cringe when I think back to my paleo days (10 eggs for breakfast, every day lol!)

[roserivera]

Great information. The website suggestion is super helpful.

[shamonecooper]

This was a great nutrition-facts video! Just a thought: I feel like these shorter videos with the simple facts on nutrition and health are PERFECT for people who don't watch YouTube often, don't follow the whole-foods plant-based diet, and who are just looking for truth. It's short, to the point, and they're more likely going to watch the whole thing. This kinda material is the gold that's gonna hit everybody! :) I think every single one of your videos is amazing, though, and you should keep doing exactly what you're doing. I love your 20 minute vlog videos; I usually play them in the morning while prepping breakfast, and I always pick up at least one tip I keep with me!

Hey Derek, could you touch on why avocados are healthy even though they contain a higher ratio of omega-6 to omega-3. This has always confused me. Should they be eaten in moderation?

[Acnologia]

Raw eggs contain every single nutrient on the planet and it's the only food that does. Nuff said.

[RobStuart]

where are you located my friend? Great channel by the way keep up the good work!!

[beales]

Hey, this video got me completely confused. I'm a beginner vegan (vegetarian for 4 months, and decided to go almost vegan 2 months ago, there's still some cheese or eggs every now and then), and was convinced basically that seeds are good "as long as the macros fit". But then I see this, and looked up sunflower seeds and I see a 6-to-3 ratio of 300, pumpkin seeds are over 100. I use them "extensively" (ie in most meals/smoothies), so I guess my 6-3 ratio is through the roof.
Should I reduce those and replace them more with chia, flax and hemp? My issue isn't too much fucking myself up, but my parents (over 60yo) eat the same as me, so I'd rather not get them sick.

Thoughts? Does it really matter that much? Is there something like "most omega 6 in seeds is not used by the body" ?

[carlosbecerra]

Thanks for the website! Good video and some good comments! Shows how complex the nutrition world has become. But my 80 year old grandma is stronger than she's ever been and consumed both these foods regularly throughout her life, insane but beans and eggs in her time where healthier than they are now.
