Why eggs are unhealthy

 

Let’s start with some of the researches which have been done on the topics of eggs.

 

“American Heart Association – if 1 egg has app. 213mg of cholesterol and the limit (dietary cholesterol intake) for people with normal cholesterol is 300mg a day, you could fit in one egg, if you cut down on all other animal products.

 

And the limit for people with high cholesterol is 200mg a day which may not even allow a single egg a day.”

BUT ANY DIETARY CHOLESTEROL IS UNNECESSARY AS OUR BODY ALREADY PRODUCE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR OUR NEEDS.

 

Health risk associated with a consumption of eggs

 

• Heart disease – A study in the journal “Atherosclerosis” found that just 3 eggs or more a week was associated with a significant increase in artery – clogging plaque building in people’s carotid arteries going to their brain, a strong predictor of stroke, heart attack and death. (Watch this video for more info eggs vs. cigarettes in atherosclerosis)

 

• Type 2 Diabetes – Researches found a stepwise increase in the risk of diabetes when more and more eggs people ate. Eating just a single egg a week appeared to increase the odds of diabetes by 76%. Two eggs a week appeared to double the odds, and just a single egg a day tripled the odds. Tree times greater risk of type 2 diabetes. (Watch this video for more info eggs and diabetes)

 

• Cancer – People who consume just 1.5 eggs per week have nearly five times the risk for colon cancer, compared with those who consume less than 11 eggs per year, according to a study published in the International Journal of Cancer. (Read more here health concern with eggs)

 

My opinion is…to avoid any unnecessary dietary cholesterol and to decrease the risk of any health complication mentioned above we should completely eliminate animal products from our diet and should nourish our body with a delicious plant based food which doesn’t contain cholesterol at all.

 

Here is a clear comparison list of nutritional value of 100g raw egg versus 100g raw chickpeas calculated from cronometer

 

Chickpeas has

more fibre,

more protein,

less fat,

less saturated fat,

no cholesterol,

more calcium,

more iron,

more magnesium,

more zinc,

more vitamin B,

more folate,

more vitamin C and K comparing to egg.

 

As you can see a chickpeas is more nutritionally dense which is very important for our health.

To sustain our health or to get our health back it is very important to consume a food which is nutritionally denser with less calorie content.

 

And plant food falls exactly into this category – dense in nutrients low in calories.

 

Let’s see here the example

Egg raw 100g vs. Chickpeas raw 100g

• Calories – 155,364

• Fibre – 0g,10g

• Protein – 12.6g,19.3g

• Fat – 10.6g,6g

• Saturated fat – 3.3g,0.6g

• Cholesterol – 373mg,0mg

• Water – 74.6g,11.5g

• Calcium – 50mg,105mg

• Iron – 1.2mg,6.2mg

• Magnesium – 10mg,115mg

• Zinc – 1.1mg,3.4mg

• B1 – 0.1mg,0.5mg

• B2 – 0.5mg,0.2mg

• B3 – 0.1mg,1.5mg

• B5 – 1.4mg,1.6mg

• B6 – 0.1mg,0.5mg

• Folate – 44uq,557uq

• D – 87IU,0IU

• E – 1mg,0.8mg

• K – 0.3uq,9uq

• A – 520IU,66.7IU

• C – 0mg,4mg
