Why no eggs

Here are some good reasons to not eat eggs. Backed by proven scientific research studies:

-“About 60 percent of the calories in eggs are from fat—much of which is saturated fat. Eggs are also loaded with cholesterol—about 200 milligrams for an average-sized egg. That’s more than double the amount in a Big Mac. Fat and cholesterol contribute to heart disease. One study found that people who ate the most eggs had 80 percent higher coronary artery calcium scores (a measure of heart disease risk) compared with those who ate the fewest eggs. A study in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology found that those who eat the most eggs have a 19 percent higher risk for cardiovascular problems.” (source of quote: Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. https://www.pcrm.org/good-nutrition/nutrition-information/health-concerns-with-eggs )

-“The Harvard Nurses’ Health Study found that the daily consumption of the amount of cholesterol found in just a single egg appeared to cut a woman’s life short as much as smoking 25,000 cigarettes—five cigarettes a day, for fifteen years. Following up on that research, a study in the journal Atherosclerosis found that just three eggs or more a week was associated with a significant increase in artery-clogging plaque buildup in people’s carotid arteries, going to their brain—a strong predictor of stroke, heart attack, and death.  In fact, they found a similar exponential increase in arterial plaque buildup for smokers and egg-eaters. Those that ate the most eggs had as much as two-thirds the risk of those that smoked the most—the equivalent of a pack-a-day habit for 40 years or more.”

-Our gut bacteria use eggs to accelerate cancer, especially colon cancer. Dietary choline (such as in eggs) is converted in the gut into trimethylamine (toxic TMAO…which can “wreak havoc on our arteries, increasing our risk of heart attack, stroke, and death.” And is also linked to cancer.)

-Research shows egg consumption is associated with an increased risk for ovarian, prostate, colon and breast cancer. And a single egg goes above the recommended amount of dietary cholesterol.

-“Even just a single egg a week may increase the risk of diabetes—the leading cause of lower-limb amputations, kidney failure, and new cases of blindness.”

-“Too much choline—a compound concentrated in eggs and other animal products—can make bodily secretions smell like rotting fish, and may increase the risk of heart disease, due to conversion in the gut to trimethylamine.”

-A single egg a day is linked to increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and is linked to a shortened lifespan.

Plant-based alternatives to eggs:
-There are products such as Just Egg and VeganEgg, plus you can make a tofu scramble recipe and add indian black salt (available on amazon) which helps make it taste like eggs. Plus tofu is a good source of protein and calcium.
