so here’s an interesting question what

if your only protein source

came from egg what would happen

would you build up all this cholesterol

in your arteries and die of a heart

attack maybe a stroke

well actually no you would not let me

explain why

in six

major clinical studies it was found that

eggs did not increase or was not

associated with heart disease in healthy

people they talk about all the benefits

of eggs and how it doesn’t create a

problem other than increase your good

cholesterol

and have all these other nutrients but

the recommendation is really less than

two eggs a day which is interesting if

eggs are so good

why aren’t they recommending that and

i’m going to get to that in a minute if

you look at any

in all negative studies relating to eggs

they’re all questionnaire studies

they’re observational studies and those

are not real credible studies at all so

if you have a political slant or maybe a

certain bias and you want a study to

look a certain way

just do an observational study because

you could make those look any which way

you want and you’re basically just

giving people a bunch of questions and

forcing them to answer

a certain way

first of all how is someone going to

remember what they ate even

two days ago let alone

months or even years ago

so what would happen if you just relied

on eggs as your only source of protein

you’d actually do much better

health-wise and that’s what i want to

get into in this video i think the big

problem that people have with eggs is

being brainwashed i mean educated in

that eggs are high in cholesterol when

in fact they are high in cholesterol

okay but they also contain lecithin okay

which is the antidote to cholesterol

they’re loaded with choline which is in

it’s actually one of the ingredients in

bile salts that helps break down

cholesterol and as well as b3 which is

probably the best antidote to

cholesterol problems so if you’re

concerned at all about eggs increasing

your cholesterol and making things worse

you don’t have to have that concern

anymore now what’s so different about

eggs

versus other sources of protein

the egg is the highest quality

source of protein

other than breast milk okay it has

virtually every nutrient that you need

and it’s uh its amino acid profile is

complete

the nutrients and amino acids are very

bioavailable the waste product from eggs

is so minimal because you’re utilizing

all this great protein so eggs are

number one

meat is number two

dairy is three

and plant-based protein is low on the

list in fact the protein you get from

plant-based sources is actually pretty

poor and unfortunately as much as you

hear on the news about everything

shifting the plant base that

every man woman and child should be a

vegan

you have to realize that the studies are

observational and there’s so much

political bias going on right now

regarding plant-based away from real

science and of course the attack against

red meat is big time

they put in the same category as

processed meat and even of the same

caliber as like sugar and refined sugars

so here you have this meat that we’ve

been eating for

you know thousands and thousands of

years it’s just not just nutrient dense

but if you’re consuming something that’s

grass-fed grass

finished you’re getting a very

high source of protein that can greatly

help you not just with your muscles but

repair the proteins overall in general

sometimes people think about proteins as

just muscle but you have

all the enzymes in your body the

different metabolic pathways are all

protein

a good portion of your skin is protein

good portion of your bone is protein

your immune system is protein so when

we’re trying to replenish or repair

proteins we need sufficient proteins and

a bioavailable source that our body can

really use efficiently but eggs are at

the top of the list okay one egg will

give you seven grams of protein and

virtually every single nutrient it may

not give you all the vitamin c

but it will give you

the b vitamins

vitamin a

vitamin d

vitamin e

vitamin k1 and k2

omega 3 fatty acids so this is packed

full with nutrients okay so

other types of protein are just like

muscle protein but egg is a very unique

source of protein because it’s not just

a muscle protein and there’s a lot of

amazing things and additional

factors that can help your health

one being

something called sphingomyelin okay what

is that well that’s a compound that can

help prevent plaquing in your

vascular system so if you’re still hung

up on this idea that eggs might clog

your arteries actually it doesn’t it

actually prevents the plaquing of your

arteries

choline

which is a really important nutrient

that can help prevent a fatty liver

in fact if you’re deficient in choline

you will get a fatty liver but choline

is also necessary for a healthy brain

and choline is a really good antidote to

uh high cholesterol okay lutein and

zeaxanthin these are two compounds

that greatly support the macula of the

eye that’s the back part of the eye and

the macula helps you with central vision

it also will help

to act as a like a filter for

for uv radiation as well as filtering

blue light

so there’s a thing called age-related

macular degeneration

and these two compounds can help prevent

that condition

then we have something called

phospholipids what’s that it’s

combination between lipids and

phosphorus which is a great

anti-inflammatory it’s very important in

building your cell membranes

and then we have the the protein and egg

so people have been confused about the

egg whites and the yolk okay they think

that all the protein is in the egg

whites but did you realize that if we

compare per 100 gram of the yolk versus

the white the yolk

has 16.4 grams of protein per 100 gram

and the white only has 10.8 grams

of protein

per 100 gram so

per weight

the yolk has more protein not to mention

it has so many other things that are

essential for repair and even preventing

something called sarcopenia which is a

age-related muscle loss condition

in fact i’ll put one study below that

compares consuming whole eggs versus

just the egg whites

and

it demonstrated that if you have the

whole egg you have better results

with post exercise repair and muscle

building so

if you’re trying to build muscle and

you’re just doing the egg whites you

might want to do the whole egg the other

thing i’m going to mention as a side

note is what about just you know

drinking your eggs raw

well the problem with raw eggs and i’m

not against it in certain amounts but

raw eggs have a protease inhibitor okay

that means that

the enzyme to help break down protein is

inhibited so you may not get the full

benefit of that egg white not to mention

you may develop a biotin

deficiency if you have a large amount

and so this compound

is

kind of nullified when you heat the egg

when you cook the egg and the best form

of an egg i would recommend is something

like an over easy egg where the egg yolk

is runny okay but you’re cooking the

white part but even if you scramble your

egg or your hard boiler egg you’re still

gaining a lot of benefits so i don’t

want to get too far in the woods with

the cooking methods of an egg but i will

say that

at this point realize that eggs in

general are super super healthy

especially if you want to get a high

quality source of amino acid there’s

even some data on certain compounds and

eggs giving an anti-cancer effect

as well as an immuno modulation effect

which can help

regulate your immune system so the idea

of consuming eggs as your primary

protein source

it really the only drawback i see that

it has

is nothing related to health it has to

do with maybe boredom and making your

foods more interesting by adding

different protein sources but if you

were to just to consume eggs as your

primary protein source you would not

only increase your health but you would

probably increase your digestion as well

because eggs seem to be very easily

digested for most people unless you have

an allergy so realize that eggs only

have seven grams of protein right so

depending on your the size of your body

how much you weigh how much muscle you

have

your age

really will determine how much a protein

you really need to replenish

those amino acids

so less than two eggs a day is not going

to cut it okay so maybe if you have two

three

four or more eggs per meal now we’re

getting to an amount that your body

really needs to satisfy its requirements

since we’re on the topic of eggs if you

haven’t seen

this video okay on chickens you might

want to check that out i put it right
