The Egg Myth 🥚
Still avoiding eggs because your doctor told you they're "bad for your heart"? You've been following outdated advice based on flawed research that's been debunked for years. As a functional medicine doctor, I constantly see patients who've been unnecessarily restricting one of nature's most perfect foods. It's time to crack open the truth about eggs and cardiovascular health. What the REAL research shows: 📊 A massive meta-analysis involving 23 studies and over 1.2 MILLION participants revealed something shocking: eating more than one egg per day was NOT associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. In fact, it was associated with a SIGNIFICANT reduction in coronary artery disease risk! But wait, there's more.... Another study followed 36 people for 14 weeks, giving them one egg daily. The results were remarkable: - Increased HDL ("good" cholesterol) - Increased large LDL particles (the safer kind) - Enhanced plasma antioxidants Here's what most doctors don't understand about LDL particles: size matters! Small, dense LDL particles easily embed into damaged arteries and form plaque. Large LDL particles? They're much safer and less likely to cause problems. The cholesterol myth exposed: 🔍 One egg contains about 187-212mg of cholesterol. But here's the kicker - even consuming 1,000mg of dietary cholesterol only increases your total cholesterol by a measly 11 points! Your liver produces most of your body's cholesterol, and when you eat more cholesterol, your liver simply makes less. It's a beautiful self-regulating system. Why eggs are nutritional powerhouses: 🌟 Beyond heart health, eggs provide: - Complete, high-quality protein for muscle building - Choline for optimal brain function - Vitamin D and B-complex vitamins - Lutein and zeaxanthin for eye health and macular degeneration prevention - Selenium for thyroid support Not all eggs are created equal! 🐓 Skip the "cage-free" marketing gimmicks. What you want are TRUE pasture-raised eggs from chickens that roam freely outdoors, eating bugs, worms, and high-quality feed. These eggs contain the highest concentration of nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids.

I never gave up butter, cheese and eggs and mayo. Never did fat-free anything. Ewww! But I have and am using products that could be eliminated.

@Louise Hamilton recipes for mayo? Or I may have to switch to brand made with olive oil.
