Eggs and cholesterol

I had this sent to me about a month ago. And it clearly brings up cholesterol in the middle of the article. You can print this and show it to the doctor. Just dont overdue eggs.
Sometimes eggs get a bad rap with people watching their weight. Dieters often avoid eggs altogether or just use the egg whites. But a recent study showed that people who had eggs for breakfast (including the yolk) lost significantly more weight than people who ate a bagel for breakfast that contained the same number of calories.



Sometimes eggs get a bad rap with people watching their weight. Dieters often avoid eggs altogether or just use the egg whites. But a recent study showed that people who had eggs for breakfast (including the yolk) lost significantly more weight than people who ate a bagel for breakfast that contained the same number of calories.

All of the 152 people who participated in the study were overweight or obese, but otherwise healthy adults aged 25 - 60 years old. All of the participants followed a low-fat diet in which they consumed about 1,000 calories a day. One group ate a breakfast containing two eggs, while the other group ate a bagel breakfast. Both breakfasts were of equal calories.

At the end of the 8-week study, the subjects who ate eggs for breakfast 5 days of the week compared to the subjects who ate bagels for breakfast as part of a reduced-calorie diet:

• Lost 65 percent more weight
• Exhibited a 61 percent reduction in their BMI (body mass index)
• Reported higher energy levels

Additionally, there was no significant change in the cholesterol levels of the "egg group," which adds to the growing number of studies that suggest daily egg consumption does not adversely affect cholesterol levels or put people at increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

Bottom Line: If you are trying to lose weight, choosing eggs for breakfast may help you with your weight loss goals. Eggs are only 70 calories each and contain high-quality protein (half of the egg’s protein is in the yolk, so don't toss all of them). Try some hard-boiled eggs for an easy breakfast on the go!

It is not correct that eggs are bad for the body. Eggs are good for you and cholesterol is not a problem. Eggs also contain lecithin which metabolizes cholesterol.
