You know, sui yuk can be a great food source.
Saturated fat (such as those from sui yuk, palm oil, butter) IS part of a well balanced diet. And it plays very important roles in cell membrane, hormone production, and other bodily functions.

And quite recent research has found that saturated fat and blood cholesterol level is not the cause of heart disease. They are simply an indicator of the illness. (lazy to dig out this reference)
Just like fever is not an illness, it is an indicator & immune response towards infections.

As with all food, it's how much a person eat them compared to other nutrients and that person's activity level that makes him/her a healthy person. Problem being Malaysian don't eat enough of unsaturated fats.

P.S. the egg yolk myth has been busted so freaking many times already, it's getting lame. Good job to Jamis anyway for bringing it up again.

Eggs have cholesterol. But it should be noted that ingested cholesterol and those created by the body are different. And their effect of the body and health are different too. I'll let some other intelligent soul explain more on this.

Don't waste good food!

Drink more water!

From amongst the clouds and sun ray, a voice is heard saying...

"It's in the blood. Educating people is your destiny, no matter about green computing or fitness. YOU are meant to do it!"




Ahahahahahah!
