These nutrient powerhouses have long been demonized for everything from heart attacks to cancer. A targeted media-fueled hit campaign has been aimed at eggs like they sold subprime mortgages for Black Rock. The latest study, "Debunking the Myth: Eggs and Heart Disease" takes a deep dive on the topic, dismantling misconceptions with hard data and shedding light on the true role of eggs in our diet and health.Let’s start with the facts.
Eggs, it turns out, have minimal impact on blood cholesterol for the majority of people, about 75% of us fall into the “normal responder” category, meaning our bodies balance cholesterol levels regardless of dietary intake. Even for the 25% classified as “hyper-responders,” the rise in LDL is offset by a corresponding rise in HDL , maintaining a healthy balance.The major driver in heart disease is processed foods, high-sugar diets, and seed oils - there I said it.
Then there are peptides in eggs that protect against cancer cell growth. So, when we talk about eggs as a functional food, we’re not just hyping them up, they’re living up to the title.The most compelling part of the study is the real-world evidence. Participants in various trials who ate up to three eggs a day showed improved HDL levels, reduced triglycerides, and stable blood sugar. One study even found that replacing a bagel-based breakfast with eggs led to greater fat loss.
