High Blood Cholesterol Dudes, You Can Eat Eggs Now
Written by WTJ on February 10, 2009 – 11:13 pm -
Good news for everyone with high blood cholesterol or those who scare of being one! Scientists refuted the myth of eggs causing high blood cholesterol.
The study was done by Dr Juliet Gray, Registered Public Health Nutritionist, and Professor Bruce Griffin, Professor of Nutrition Metabolism from the University of Surrey, showing that eggs had small or clinically insignificant effect on blood cholesterol. The study influenced the British Heart Foundation to remove its eggs intake limitation recommendation. Food Standards Agency also announced that eggs can be consumed as long as the diet is balanced.
The researcher said that only one third of the cholesterol came from the diet, which was raised by saturated fat, not eggs. Increase in blood cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease. People who are overweight, overweight and lack of body movements are more likely to have high blood cholesterol.
This study may not be good news to everyone, for instant the eggs dealers. They can’t brand their eggs as “Cholesterol-free” or “Low-Cholesterol” eggs. Maybe they should link eggs with high blood pressure, and then they can brand the eggs as “Saltless” eggs!
