It’s well understood that eggs are
vital ingredients to many recipes. While eggs have made the headlines in weight loss news due to its high cholesterol content,
many people neglect the fact that they host other important nutrients as well.
Fortunately, eggs have enjoyed a slightly improved reputation in recent years.
This is largely due to the dispute over whether the cholesterol content in eggs
are as bad as first thought.
A joint initiative between
Harvard, USA and Tongji Medical College, China was set up in 2012 to examine
the relationship between eggs consumption and the presumed increased risk of
cardiovascular diseases. At the end of the research phase, it was concluded
that a healthy intake of one egg per day does not increase the risk of coronary
heart disease or stroke. In addition, this healthy habit helps to reduce the
possibility of hemorrhagic stroke by up to 25%. Now that irrefutable evidence
has dismissed the myth of harmful cholesterol content in eggs, the attention
should shift to focus on the range of benefits they provide.
