How often should you eat eggs and how should you cook them
Don't be afraid to eat eggs. You can easily eat one dozen eggs per week, as they will not cause your cholesterol to increase. Scientists have shown that infants who eat the adult equivalent of 40 eggs per week don't have problems.
If you are cooking your eggs, avoid eating eggs daily. You should not eat eggs more than five days a week if you prepare them conventionally. You can tolerate eggs on a much more frequent basis if you consume them raw.
I recommend mixing one whole egg with the equivalent of three egg whites. I personally use organically fed free range chicken egg whites that we get from Trader Joes. Vicky will add vegetables with this mixture that includes spinach, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms. She makes to coo these in a carefully not overcooked omelet.
It has been proven that you can eat two dozen eggs a week without increasing your cholesterol as long as you do not overcook your eggs. Oxidized cholesterol contributes to the hardening of our hardening of your arteries, which increases your risk of heart disease. High heat will promote oxidization of cholesterol. Scrambled eggs or omelets are the least healthy way to prepare eggs so don’t overcook the eggs.
Surprisingly, the best way to prepare eggs is to not cook them at all. Simply eat the egg yolk and all-RAW. Use a half a scoop of undenatured whey with a full egg in your morning protein smoothie. You won’t even notice the egg.
If you’re worried about salmonella from raw eggs, this is more of a concern from commercially raised eggs. Organic Free Range eggs are shown to have much lower salmonella levels with just 4.4 percent in organic flocks and 6.5 percent in free-range flocks, compared to more than 23 percent of farms with caged hens. So your chances of contracting salmonella when using organic eggs are fairly slim. (Mother Earth News)
