Egg Yoke Myths That Will Amaze You
Most people believe that the egg yolk is bad for getting rid of stomach fat and that you are better off separating the egg yolk and just cooking and eating the egg white.
If that is what most people believe, then most people are just plain wrong.
And they are not helping themselves at all by only eating egg whites – indeed they are doing more harm than good by not also enjoying the egg yoke!
Egg Yoke Myths
The first point to realize is that most of the helpful nutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, and good protein is contained in the egg yoke.
You are eliminating over 90% of the benefit of eggs by avoiding the egg yoke!
Does that sound wise?
Next, the right type of egg yoke is loaded with good omega-3 fatty acids, which your body needs and which can help with your cholesterol.
Which brings us to the issue of cholesterol!
Cholesterol is not the evil enemy as it is portrayed often. Your body produces cholesterol naturally, and when you consume foods with high cholesterol levels the body reduces its own production to compensate.
Conversely, by not consuming cholesterol rich items, you cause your body to INCREASE the production of cholesterol.
The reality is that eating the right types of whole eggs increases your good cholesterol at a higher rate than your bad cholesterol, which improves your ratio – which is the important metric with respect to cholesterol.
What about the extra calories in the egg yoke?
Of course, eating the egg yoke does increase your calorie intake. But along with those calories you are also ingesting lots of rich nutrients which actually augment the fat burning abilities of the metabolism.
So this more than offsets the extra calories and helps with overall weight reduction and weight control.
The Real Issue About Eggs
Instead of thinking in terms of egg yokes and egg whites, you need to be thinking in terms of organic free range eggs and mass farming eggs. This is where the real problem with eggs is!
Regular store eggs simply have much lower levels of helpful nutrients, less helpful omega-3, and more harmful omega-6.
So for your good health switch to organic free range eggs, enjoy the whole egg and the resulting health benefits!
