Dear subscribers, thank you for clicking on it. Do you consume a lot of eggs? Eggs are very good and nutritious for you, but one thing I'm worried about is that eggs contain a high amount of cholesterol.

As in the past, many people refrain from consuming eggs due to cholesterol concerns.

Many experts for years have also recommended moderate egg consumption. The reason is that egg yolks contain a lot of cholesterol. But recently, some studies have emerged that it's okay to consume a large number of eggs.

The public is confused about who's right. So today I’ll discuss eggs, a recommendable egg consumption amount, and how to choose healthy eggs.

If you're curious about this, please watch it until the end.

[Director Lee Dong-hwan’s HOT new release]
[Dominating Body] Hello, I'm Lee Dong-hwan, a doctor of education and family medicine specialist from 이동환TV.

The first study of eggs I'm going to show you today is this. It's a paper from Australia.

It was published in 2015 in AJCN (The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition). They studied about 140 people for three months.

어떤 연구를 했냐면
It was a study in which diabetics were the main subject.

The subjects were divided into two groups. One group just had a normal meal and the other group had two more eggs to eat.

After 3 months of observation, they compared how cholesterol levels in each group has changed. In conclusion, there was a minuscule difference in cholesterol level.

between those who have taken the eggs and those who have not. Therefore, this research shows that eating eggs doesn't increase cholesterol level.

That's good news to hear. Many experts, however, argue about the limitations of this particular study. This is because adding two eggs may not have much effect on people who usually eat a lot of cholesterol, while two eggs can have a big impact on people who don't eat a lot.

Some scholars state that due to these other studies, the people involved in this study would have had little impact because they probably were high cholesterol consumers in the first place.

Anyway, there are many studies that show eating a lot of eggs doesn't have much impact on cholesterol level. One of the most common hypotheses is that only 20% of our blood cholesterol levels is attributed from food alone.

The rest, the other 80%, is attributed by cholesterol produced in organs such as the liver.

That's why we don't have to refrain ourselves from eating cholesterol food. Finally, in January 2019, the American Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee made this announcement.

In the past, people were told to refrain from eating foods with a lot of cholesterol, such as eggs and shrimp, but now they don't have to.

This is great news. By the way, in March 2019, there's another paper that contradicts this renewed optimism.

It's a paper from JAMA. JAMA, as you know, is a very respected journal issued by The American Medical Association.

Here, they've published research based on a span of 17 years and over 29,000 subjects that by eating more than one egg a day, or more than 300 milligrams, in terms of the amount of cholesterol than those who did not take at all, it is attributed that all deaths related to cardiovascular disease have increased by 18%.

It's a little disappointing, right? In other words, if you eat a lot of cholesterol food, your death rate will definitely increase.

These two conflicting papers start to confuse us. Many experts began to debate. In conclusion, if you gather a lot of expert opinions, this is it.

First, let's say there's a healthy person. People without special diseases or complications don't have to deliberately avoid cholesterol-abundant foods such as eggs and shrimp.

This is because eggs have many beneficial nutrients, and cholesterol itself plays a lot of important roles in our bodies. Then who should be careful?

If you have experienced heart disease or stroke, or if your cholesterol level is too high to control, you should consult your doctor first.

Besides, it is okay to eat some eggs if you can control it to a certain extent while receiving treatment for hyperlipidemia.

It's because there are so many advantages that come with eggs: a lot of nutrients, vitamins, and other key components like lecithin that are so important for your body.

Then how many eggs can you take? There's a lot of controversy about this. According to data from the Department of Nutrition at the University of Connecticut, eating about three eggs a day steadily increased HDL cholesterol and dropped LDL.

So up to three is fine. The United Kingdom National Health Service suggests that there’s no limit as to how many you can take!

Moreover, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition says up to 12 eggs a week are fine.

Lastly, according to the data released by The National Heart Foundation of Australia, 6 to 7 eggs per week are acceptable.

I don't know who's right, but if you look at it generally, there's no problem with two eggs per day, a little more with three or four even.

If you're healthy and don't have a high cholesterol level, you don't have to worry about eating eggs. Now, the last thing I'd like to tell you about is which eggs you should choose.

To begin with, there are four kinds of eggs. The first is regular eggs. These eggs are from a hen that usually feeds on grain.

The second is organic eggs. These eggs come from chickens that feed mostly on organic crops and do not use drugs. The third is organic meadow eggs.

It's an egg that's produced by a hen that is freely released and grown while eating surrounding natural foods such as plants and insects.

The fourth and last one is an egg that has increased the omega-3 content. Now, which of these four eggs is the most desirable?

It's the third one! Organic meadow eggs are said to be the healthiest. They are rich in omega-3s.

Chickens that naturally feed on plants and insects are much less stressed out. Therefore, they can produce healthier eggs. How was my explanation of eggs today?

There's been a lot of controversy over eggs. Many people are worried about whether to eat a lot of eggs or not, and some people eat only the whites, without the yolk.

However, if you are healthy without any special illness, don’t worry. I hope you enjoy healthy eggs and live a healthier life.
