Hey Folks
For years there has been an ongoing debate about whether eggs are healthy or not. So, since our discussion on Saturdays call included how eggs provide lactoferrin, (a nutritive component that helps reverse iron disruption in the blood with Morgellons), I thought a post with more on eggs might serve you well. I recently came across this.
Eggs are widely used as a symbol of fertility, new life, and unlimited potential in some cultures. But while they may make eggs-cellent decorations or literary allusions. (lol)
First, a little background: In the 1970s, there was a focus on reducing dietary cholesterol. Eggs were initially considered an unfavorable food because of their high concentration of cholesterol. However, the thinking on eggs changed when it became known that dietary saturated fat had a larger impact on fasting cholesterol. Not to mention that cholesterol is a growth hormone that we need!
That said, the truth becomes...eggs contain several vitamins, are low in saturated fat and high in choline, which is essential for brain health. Add to this the lactoferrin benefit, and that they clearly provide a wonderful natural source of protein, and I'm thus persuaded they are very healthy.
Strength and Love,
Peter
