ATHLEAN-X™ | 10 Reasons You Should "Avoid" Eating Eggs (FOREVER!) @athleanx | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
Did you know that over the last few decades, there have been 10 reasons you should avoid eating eggs forever? In this video, I am going to do a deep dive into the common claims people make about eggs and why they should be avoided in your diet. We’ll take a look at each claim and whether the latest research agrees with them to give you the best recommendations for whether or not you should eat eggs or not.
It seems that over the last 30 years, the news has a new report on the dangers of eating eggs and why you should avoid them completely. These include everything from causing heart disease to being responsible for unsuccessful weight loss efforts. However, is any of this true?
The first common claim against eggs is that they raise your blood cholesterol levels. Having heard this for years from not just the news, but your family and friends too, you might think that this is the perfect reason to cut eggs out of your diet. So, if this is the case, should you not eat eggs? Well, according to more recent research, we thankfully know that your dietary cholesterol does not increase your blood cholesterol levels. So if you thought eating eggs was leading to high cholesterol, you can rest easy knowing that that’s not the case.
“Eggs increase your risk of heart disease!” How many times have you heard someone say that? Probably too many, because recent research has shown that moderate egg consumption does not increase your risk for heart disease. This likely stems from the thought that eggs raise your cholesterol, but since we know that this isn’t the case, you need not worry about eating eggs and heart disease.
Some people have claimed that eggs should be avoided if you are looking to lose weight. The support for this idea is that eggs are calorically dense and eating them will lead to weight gain over loss. However, with the amount of protein contained in a single egg, you can actually aid your weight loss journey. As protein helps with satiety which means that you get full faster.
Has anyone ever told you that eggs are bad for your liver? It’s been thought that eggs, especially the yolk, were harmful to people with liver conditions. However, research has found that eggs are actually beneficial to liver health due to their high choline content. That means you shouldn’t avoid eggs if you’re worried about your liver health, and you could actually stem to benefit from eating the egg yolk.
Is it true that brown eggs are healthier than white eggs? If you heard the popular jingle stating so, then you might be inclined to believe that you should opt for brown eggs instead of white eggs if you are trying to maintain a healthy diet. However, studies have shown that there is no benefit to brown eggs over white eggs as their nutritional content is exactly the same.
Stop me if you've heard this one before: "You should avoid eating egg yolks!" It was once thought that you should throw out the egg yolk due to it's cholesterol and fat content. But, I implore you to think twice about this simply because most of the nutrients in an egg are found in the yolk. You will actually find inside the yolk essential vitamins like B12, D, and choline. So don't skip on the egg yolk.
It has been thought that eating eggs was responsible for high blood pressure. This likely stems, again, from the fear of the cholesterol and fat content of eggs. However, it has been shown in research that there is no need to worry about this as eggs may actually have a neutral or even positive effect on blood pressure when part of a healthy diet.
Did you know that some have claimed that eating eggs will increase your risk of stroke? Well, detailed research has suggested that there was no significant relationship between moderate egg consumption and increased risk of stroke. Some research also suggests that eating eggs may even lower the risk of stroke in some populations.
Eggs have been incorrectly blamed for being difficult to digest, especially for people with sensitive stomachs. However, eggs are now recognized as easily digestible, especially when cooked properly, and are even recommended for digestive health in some cases. As a matter of fact, some research shows that eggs, particularly when boiled or poached, are among the most easily digestible protein sources.
Watch the video to the end to see what other claims about eggs are debunked by science so you don't have to worry if you should avoid eating eggs forever.
