today we’re going to talk about the

difference between the egg yolk and the

egg white there’s a lot of people that

just are eating that whites and they’re

shooting the yolks away thinking that

the yolks are unhealthy because it’s

going to clog the arteries because it’s

so much fat well that is a big mistake

because most of the good nutrition is in

the yolk egg yolks are loaded with

cholesterol but here’s the thing that

cholesterol will not clog your arteries

in fact it’s not going to increase your

own body’s cholesterol when you increase

the dietary cholesterol guess what your

body makes less so if you take a look at

all the cholesterol that’s in someone’s

body 75% of it is actually made by the

body only 25% comes from your diet so

your body makes most of the cholesterol

that it has so it’s tightly regulated

when you actually eat more your body

makes a little bit less and we need this

cholesterol to feed the brain the

nervous system all your cell membranes

the hormones especially testosterone

estrogen the stress hormone called

cortisol the egg yolks are loaded with

fat soluble vitamins vitamin A D E and K

2 also egg yolks contain trace minerals

b12 ful late which is really important

to prevent DNA damage and does a lot of

other things as well phospholipids which

help support the membranes of your cells

and calcium then we have immunoglobulins

igy and basically these are our

antibodies so these greatly help your

immune system especially in their gut

and there’s some very interesting

research I put the links down below but

they’re even concentrating this antibody

and giving it to people who have certain

gut diseases and getting pretty good

success it’s also great for antibiotic

resistance this is why the egg yolks are

really benefit

so if someone is I don’t know rundown or

they’re sick eggs are a really good food

to consume now on the flip side the egg

white has most of the protein not all

but most there’s also a chemical called

evident in egg whites that blocks biotin

now that’s only if you eat the egg

whites raw and you really don’t have to

worry about it even if you do eat raw

eggs because you would have to consume

20 eggs a day and I’m talking about raw

before you would become deficient

because biotin is in so many different

foods plus the good bacteria in your gut

make biotin now there are people that

are deficient in biotin but that’s

usually for another reason they have a

alteration in their genes that is not

allowing them to absorb it and the only

way to handle that is to take more of it

one of the symptoms of a biotin

deficiency is alopecia another one is

brittle hair and thinning of the hair

also skin issues but for the most people

they don’t worry about biotin so if you

do raw eggs and they’re high-quality you

don’t have to worry about that

deficiency now the other thing about egg

whites is that it has a good amount of

b2 okay and b3 and has more magnesium

than the yolk and more potassium as well

and it’s really important to eat the

whole egg if we take a look at the

insulin index from low to high so

basically the insulin index is a scale

that shows all the foods that are not

carbohydrates that affect insulin so

you’d have certain proteins and fats so

fat would be low protein like in egg

whites would be higher than the whole

egg which is lower so in other words

when you consume the whole egg it has a

lesser effect on insulin than if you

just consume the egg white so eating the

whole egg will help your blood Sugar’s

now the last thing I want to point out

about the egg is that it’s not muscle

protein like all the other proteins that

people are consuming its in embryo so it

has a lot of other factors for the

immune system it’s more nutrient-dense

it’s much easier to digest and out of

all the protein not counting breast milk

whole eggs provide the best quality

protein and I’m talking about the

protein that actually ends up in

repairing the body tissue and it’s a

higher quality protein than any muscle

protein out there so definitely eat more

eggs I consume four eggs a day I make

sure they’re pasture-raised

I make sure they’re organic oh and by

the way if you haven’t seen the video

that I did on the dangers of eggs based

on this one study that a lot of people

use to so call prove that eggs are

dangerous check it out it’s on this page
