The incredible edible egg. The poor thing has gone from a breakfast staple to an avoided protein . . . or at least part of it. I love seeing people eat their scrambled eggs whites. How can they do it? They claim it's to help lower cholorestrol but honestly I'd just eat them less because I like to eat stuff that has flavor.
Happy news though - The latest research from the University of Alberta has found that egg yolks contain two powerful antioxidants that are thought to fight heart disease and cancer. The yolk actually contains more antioxidants than your typical apple! Hello healthy!
Past research has shown that the stomach and intestines convert egg protein into enzymes that act like ACE inhibitors to drop blood pressure. Eggs are also a rich source of carontenoids and lutein which are important for eye health.
Honestly I think as with anything - all good things in moderation.
