Thinking Eggs Are a Healthy Protein Source? Think Again! 🍳
Many believe eggs are a nutritious staple, but I will highlights several reasons to reconsider:
Excessive Choline: While choline is essential in small amounts, eggs are rich in it. Overconsumption can lead to the production of TMAO, a compound linked to heart disease and other health issues.
High in Cholesterol and Saturated Fats: A single egg can contain as much cholesterol as the recommended daily intake. This excess can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Not the Perfect Protein: Contrary to popular belief, eggs aren't the ideal protein source. They lack certain nutrients and can be replaced with plant-based proteins that offer additional health benefits.
Contains IGF-1: Eggs have high levels of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1, which has been associated with increased cancer risk.
Linked to Prostate Cancer: Regular egg consumption has been connected to a higher risk of developing prostate cancer.
May Contribute to Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: The fats and cholesterol in eggs can exacerbate liver conditions, especially when combined with other dietary factors.
Biotin Depletion: Raw egg whites contain avidin, which can bind to biotin (a B-vitamin) and prevent its absorption, potentially leading to deficiencies.
