Eggs modulate the inflammatory response to carbohydrate restricted diets in overweight men. Nutrition & Metabolism 2008, 5:6

Due to all the mystery and confusion surrounding low carbohydrate diets and carbohydrate free diets. Are they healthy, do you lose weight on them? I thought I would let you know about this latest study completed on how eggs impact on a low carb diet. They restricted the carbohydrate intake on two groups of men, however one group were fed eggs and the other were not. I'll save you all of the boring details and cut straight to the chase. Both groups lost body fat however the group fed eggs were found to have decreased plasma C-reactive protein and increased plasma adiponectin compared to the non egg eating group. This indicated to the researches that eggs significantly increase the anti-inflammatory effect of a low carb diet. They think that due to the presence of cholesterol, which increases HDL-C and to the antioxidant lutein which modulates certain inflammatory responses the anti-inflammatory effect is increased.

From my perspective this is a real win for the all natural, unprocessed diet that stresses moderation and variety. There are so many theories and diets out there that you the consumer don't know who to trust and what to believe. So any study that highlights we can derive benefit from a natural food source is golden. You must be wary of the term low carbohydrate diet as carbohydrates are needed in your daily intake. Fruit and veg are natural carbohydrates. The carbs to eradicate are your processed ones such as pasta, white rice and breads. These are high energy foods with low nutritional value. One more point to be made by me before you rush out and buy your eggs. Be aware that free range organic eggs are a source of omega 3 also. Because the ckooks are free to eat from chemical free pastures and lead stress free lives the goodness is passed on in their produce. This makes the free range organic eggs golden in more ways than one.
