Eggs are Back!!

Does anyone really know what is good for us or what isn't good for us? I say that because now new research and finding are telling us eggs are good for us. I'm not saying I told you so but if you were sticking to our guidelines that we put out on nutrition you would have been eating eggs anyway. It's food provided by nature in an unprocessed state, something I feel really passionate about. Nature has unbridled forces that we should be utilising more.

These couple of studies erase the info that medico's have been scaring the general population with for years. They cause high cholesterol and they are fattening!!! The reality is most foods fall into this category. Eat too much of something and it's fattening. Anyway here's one of the studies from the Journal of Nutrition. Dr. Robert Nicolosi at the University of Massachusetts said, "Our data show that eating an egg a day isn't a factor for raising cholesterol." And here's another study from San Francisco. A study reported in 2006 that when people ate three or more eggs per day, the amount of low density lipoprotein (LDL) in their bloodstream did in fact increase as previously reported. However they also found that the subjects actually made bigger LDL particles which were less likely to enter artery walls and build up as artery-clogging plaque.
Head researcher Christine Green said that a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that eggs shouldn't be considered a "dietary evil."

So in concluding this egg round up, if you like eggs and enjoy them for breakfast or in omelette's get into them because they are not going to harm you. In fact they will be good for you. They are one of natures best little snacks already packed in a protective wrapping waiting for you to crack them open.
