More Eggs OK? Eat Eggs to Lower High Cholesterol?

You may have to adjust what you have heard about eggs when you hear one doctor's three dietary recommendations for LOWERING your high cholesterol levels:

1) Eat two soft boiled eggs per day, preferably organic

2) Cut out ALL white PROCESSED foods: white flour, white rice, pastries, bread

3) Eat more FIBER, FIBER, FIBER -- fruits and veggies

Why use DIET, not MEDS for High Cholesterol?

• Higher cholesterol is related to BETTER COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE:

Researchers have found a link between naturally occurring high cholesterol and modestly better mental function in areas such as visual organization, MEMORY, attention, and concentration. (Boston University, journal Psychosomatic Medicine.)

• Cholesterol is important for BRAIN development in infants and plays a role in how NEURONS work in adults.

Cholesterol is also needed for making HORMONES, and the CELL MEMBRANE.

• Somewhat high cholesterol may in fact PROTECT against infections and atherosclerosis (Q J Med 2003; 96: 927-934)

• Heart Attack NOT "Caused" by High Cholesterol – New Research

Still Worried Eggs & High Cholesterol "Cause" Heart Attacks?

The research team concluded that despite their high cholesterol content, this excellent food contains substantial amounts of healthy nutrients including antioxidants, folate, other B vitamins, and unsaturated fats. (The Journal of the American Medical Association 1999;281:1387-1394.)

• Researchers have reported for years that high cholesterol is just an innocent bystander of heart disease, and not a cause.

• Rather, controlling inflammation is the key to controlling vascular and heart disease.

Inflammation is the underlying cause, and the formation of cholesterol plaques are the body's attempt to help cover up and protect damage in the arteries caused by inflammation.

• PREGNANT MOMS TOO: "Research with animals shows that if a mother doesn't have enough choline during pregnancy, the fetus' brain doesn't develop normally and the baby can be born either with defective memory or lower memory capabilities that lasts throughout their life," says professor Steven H. Zeisel, M.D., Ph.D

"I think that pregnant women should consume one or two eggs a day to deliver the right amount of choline during pregnancy." (Department of Nutrition, School of Public Health and School of Medicine, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.) Eating Healthy When Pregnant

• SENIORS, BETTER MEMORY AND EYES:

Research has also shown that eggs in particular are a good source of lutein and zeaxanthin because they provide an excellent lipid matrix, making the carotenoids more readily absorbed.

Studies have shown that generous intakes of these carotenoids are associated with significant reduction in the risk of cataract (up to 20 percent) and age-related macular degeneration (up to 40 percent).

LUTEIN & ZEAXANTHIN are better ABSORBED from your DIET than from taking pills and supplements.

• MEMORY BOOSTER: An important dietary source of choline, they contain a more highly bioavailable form than other food sources. Choline is deemed a memory booster.

• COMPLETE PROTEIN: Among the most complete foods, they are the highest dietary source of sulfur-based amino acids including taurine, methionine and CYSTEINE (cysteine intact only when raw), which are needed for the liver to regulate bile production for proper digestion.

• HEART DISEASE: Taurine is used in Japan as a supplement to treat ischemic heart disease as well as certain heart arrhythmias.

People who suffer from congestive heart failure are reported to have benefited from taurine therapy and taurine may also be helpful in the treatment of both hypertension and high cholesterol.

• BEST PROTECTION by using a NUTRACEUTICAL complete UN-DENATURED protein that has been clinically proven to be rich in TAURINE, CYSTEINE and has the MOST COMPLETE AMINO ACIDS:

(Taking CYSTEINE as a supplement in a pill is toxic, so it is important to supplement a NATURAL PROTEIN that has not been DE-NATURED by PASTEURIZATION or HOMOGENIZATION)
