How healthy are eggs page

[russllmar]

Hey I am in the process of going primal but made an omlette today and saw that eggs have about 80% of daily cholesterol. I ate 2 and mixed it with egg beaters. How much cholesterol/fat is ok? I have read about people eating like 6-8 eggs/day. What are the effects on heart eating primal with this much cholesterol?

Thanks,

I am in the process of going primal and still researching it.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you haven't read the book yet?... Gone through Primal Blueprint 101?... ... all your answers will be revealed in those sources... ... k thx

You just said what I wanted to say, but much more nicely.

Regardless, here are some interesting posts on the topic:

I eat about 20 a week, all at least free range chickens fed something like Flaxseeds to increase the eggs Omega-3.

1. Cholesterol doesn't cause heart disease http://thehealthyskeptic.org/cholest...-heart-disease
2. Eating cholesterol doesn't cause high cholesterol http://www.physorg.com/news139156140.html http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/75/2/333
3. I think that 2 or 3 is healthier than a dozen a day. And I also think that they absolutely should be pasture-raised free-range or omega 3 flax-fed eggs. But in that case yes, very healthy. Eat up.

Ever see the movie "The Human Centipede"?

I do the same thing, but with Chickens. Delicious eggs straight into my gullet all day every day.
