Egg yolks are fine if no pre existing cholesterol issues. Search our blog — we have a previous post about the topic.

Thank you. Trying to convince my patients about this is not easy. However I can use articles like this to help inform/educate. Keep the good articles/information coming, I always enjoy reading them!

Thanks for the great article guys! I train a Cardiologist and he has been telling me that for years. I enjoy eggs every day (freerange- from the bums of happy chickens!) and will be sure to share that article with clients!

I agree about all things in moderation. My husband's grandmother is seeing one of the leading eye specialists in Houston that deal with macular degeneration and he recommends a daily egg (with yolk). As for heart disease… she is still going strong at 93!

Hey Chris,
O.K. O.K. I think you must be talking to me. I will throw in a yolk or two along the
way. Thanks for the info. Rhonda

Absolutely — the egg “thing” was always blown out of proportion, in my opinion, with everyone jumping to conclusions without having all the facts. But like you said, moderation is always the best option …

I'm amused by how research results change over the years. Coffee used to be bad for you, egg yolks were bad…. The old adage "everything in moderation," especially when it comes to "normal" (not highly processed) food, is usually a good rule of thumb.

I used to have cereal for breakfast and was quite hungry an hour after eating. Now I have two eggs with an apple or banana and what a difference!

Interesting- Egg yolks are good again- Science seems only to be as good as the information it can obtain at that given point in time. I do eat whole eggs(1 a day-most days) and then I add egg whites(3 per day-also most days) in my energy shake before lifting and after a run normally, during off days I usually have a shake in the morning to start the day. I look to obtain the extra protein and play it somewhat cautionary on the cholesterol end. So I guess I'll keep it that way.
