Many people think that eggs should not be eaten, based on the erroneous assumption that they might cause cholesterol. Your body makes its cholesterol- even vegans get high cholesterol- and reducing carbohydrates that stimulate insulin will actually lower cholesterol better than not eating eggs. This is why I suggest wild salmon and omega 3 eggs. Read what Susan Allport has to say about the difference in nutrition between eggs from chickens who range freely and conventional eggs:
Of Chickens, Eggs, and Omega-3sEggs were once a much more healthful food. And they can be again. by Susan Allport originally published Monday, December 17, 2007
Which came first: the egg or the omega-3 enriched egg?
The omega-3 enriched egg, of course, since all eggs used to be full of omega-3s when the chickens that laid them foraged for a living, scratching and pecking in backyards and farms.
These chickens lived — almost entirely — on green leaves and bugs. And the omega-3s in those green leaves and bugs were concentrated in their eggs for the same reason that omega-3s are concentrated in the breast milk of women: to support the brain development of the next generation – chicks, in this case, instead of infants.
When we humans interrupted this process and ate those eggs, we ingested almost as many omega-3s (including long-chain DHA and EPA) as we would from the same amount of many species of fish. Which — considering the importance of eggs in human diets around the world – must have made [...]
