MMHam Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Day three for me and wondering if it's okay health-wise to have eggs every day. I realize the idea that too many eggs equals high cholesterol is ingrained in my mind. Can I let go of that thinking and embrace daily eggs in the morning? Thanks!

missmary Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The cholesterol you eat has very little impact on blood cholesterol. If you like eggs and tolerate them well you can eat them daily without worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Day three for me and wondering if it's okay health-wise to have eggs every day. I realize the idea that too many eggs equals high cholesterol is ingrained in my mind. Can I let go of that thinking and embrace daily eggs in the morning? Thanks! This is a guided meditation.....close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and let gooooooooo. Let go of your worries about eggs. They fix everything.... like duct tape. I've been eating eggs for 4 months and my cholesterol has dropped 72 points. I have more of the good than the bad kind. I'm tested every single month. A new test yesterday...waiting for my results. Don't worry, be happy and eat your eggs. I eat on the average...18 a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted October 2, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 2, 2014 I usually eat 2 dozen jumbo eggs every week and have for years. I too was taught to fear eggs, but the more I read, the more I like to consume egg yolks every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeve Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Your liver is able to make 1,000 milligrams of cholesterol if your cells signal that they need it. It's a lazy bum, though, because if you eat cholesterol, it'll thank you and make less. That's not to say that your constant cholesterol demand is 1,000 mg a day, that means that if the body decides it's time to remodel a whole bunch of cell walls, the liver's going to circulate a memo to all that LDL floating around in your blood to come home and get dense. Epithelial cholesterol is also one of your best sources of vitamin D when exposed to UV-B. When you consider the RDA, remember that there is no RDA, AI, or TUL for sugar. The RDA are heavily influenced by lobby over actual health. The hidden agenda claim is that we simply don't have enough land and other resources to raise enough to feed everyone primal, so there's lots of big scary saturated fat and big scary cholesterol propaganda and shiny happy grains, shiny happy dough nonsense. Dough can be produced at high land use density with an estimated 20:1 ratio to flesh. Dough is also cheap, easy, and fast to make. It's a faster cash circle, and an economic influence. Every organization beginning with the words Federal or United States cares about the cash circle more than it cares about needing to bury fast food addicts. Add to that the far larger number of vegans than paleos and the idiots who think we take the paleolithic era as something to precisely mimic, and we're the rebels. No medical association is going to stake their reputation on us until the preponderance of evidence forces them to do so. Fortunately, more studies are looking at nutrition from the debunk the myth perspective that reinforces what we've learned from the Hartwigs, those before them, and those publishing now.

Moderators LadyM Posted October 11, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 11, 2014 I say keep eating them as long as they serve you well. I go in phases with eggs. I'll love them and eat them every day, and then after a while I fall out of love when they seem to cause gas. Then I quit for a while and then only have them occasionally. I've read that you can develop intolerances that may go away after a period of elimination. I think that might be the case with eggs and me. But each of us is different. Pay attention to your body.
