hmm you getting sinus? i heard that eggs and chicken have some bacteria. then when you are sick (fever etc etc) and eat egg, then got those bacteria on you. haha that what i heard from bukit mertajam chinese med sifu who specialize in these

Why not healthy? Eggs are one of the best source of protein. But of course moderation is still key, 2 - 3 eggs is still okay.

I think 1-2 eggs per day is still considered as normal and it wont have any side effects as well. I also have the habit of eating 2 eggs every morning since last year.

?

A cough can be cause by any number of things and eggs are probably one of the last few possibilities (after 100's other more possible reasons) if at all lah.

Go see a doctor and get a diagnoses. Eggs are not your problem.

i had 10++ whole eggs everyday for 4th yrs now...nothing bad happen ...

Eating 2-3 eggs is OK.Just not take too much for one day.

Had been eating 2-3 eggs for years and still ok .

mayb taking more eggs without doing exercise is bit risk..huhu

Egg is a huge source of cholesterol. Atherosclerosis develops when your arteries harden due to the accumulation of fat, cholesterol and other substances, making it difficult for blood to flow through. This forms plaque, which can eventually form blockages inside the arteries, triggering other complications, such as a stroke or heart attack.

Canadian study shows that excessive egg yolks consumption, especially in those with cardiovascular issues are "almost as bad for your arteries as smoking, leading to atherosclerosis."
Study author Dr. David Spence tells Global News, "When you get older, you're going to have a higher and higher risk of heart attacks. So why would you want to make your arteries get worse faster by piling cholesterol on you?"
- http://www.globalnews.ca/health/6442696486/story.html
The study above use test subjects "eating three or more egg yolks a week".

According to the Mayo Clinic, if you are healthy, you shouldn't consume more than 300 milligrams of cholesterol per day. If you have diabetes, heart disease, or high levels of LDL (low-density lipoprotein or "bad") cholesterol in your blood, you should try to have no more than 200 milligrams per day.
One large egg contains about 186 milligrams of cholesterol, which is all contained in the yolk. Egg whites don't contain cholesterol.

Harvard study shows "Higher Death Rate Among Men Who Eat 7 or More Eggs per Week".
"The researchers -- who included Luc Djousse, MD, MPH, DSc, of Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School -- counted 5,169 deaths among the men during the follow-up period.
Even after adjusting for other risk factors, men who reported eating seven or more eggs per week were 23% more likely to die of any cause during the study; the risk rose among those with diabetes."
- http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/news/20...many-eggs-risky


But there are also contradicting study from University of Illinois.
"Thirteen patients at the Highland Hospital in Oakland, California were fed the equivalent in egg yolks of that found in 15 eggs per day for a 3 week period. The serum cholesterol did not increase significantly in any except two bedridden, obese patients. Four of the 7 ambulatory patients in the study actually showed a slight decrease in serum cholesterol."
"In the Ireland-Boston Heart Study the researchers followed 600 Irishmen between the ages of 30 and 60 who had lived in Boston for 10 or more years and their brothers who had never left the old country. The Irish brothers ate about twice as many eggs as their American brothers--averaging over 14 per week. Yet, the Irish brothers had lower levels of cholesterol in their bloodstream, and their hearts were rated from 2 to 6 times healthier. " But do note that the researchers stated that "More physical exercise was given as a possible reason for this difference."
"Dr. Robert Itchiness, a cardiologist in New York city specializing in metabolic disorders, has treated over 8,000 patients. He lowered the serum cholesterol markedly in 63 percent of his patients with a diet high in meat, milk, and eggs."
- http://urbanext.illinois.edu/eggs/res06-cholesterol.html

So far, there are no one study that could provide a death blow to another. However, do caution, and consume with moderation.
I, myself, consume almost 12 per day for the past two years, but do note I do heavy physically demanding tasks per day.

I eat 10 whole eggs a day. Don't worry.

My sister is a nutritionist.
She says, a week we only can have total of 3 eggs. (Kinda ridiculous right? We cant live a day without eggsss. Its so delicious )
This is due to the cholesterol level in the egg yolk.

Egg white is ok.

Correct me if Im wrong. =)

Partially.

Those who work out take more than 3 a day easily. If you lead a sedentary lifestyle yeah it would probably lead to cholestrol problems.

actually, its true what she said

taking 3 is already enough for the week.
eggs are the best all-in-one food you can get anywhere.

In the old days, eggs were considered a luxury food

U mean?
If wan to have more eggs a week, workout more?

He means if you work out consistently, you can afford to eat more. If you hardly move all day, eating more of anything isn't going to be helpful.

My nutritionist friend told me exactly the same thing, used to it at least 2 everyday.

Me 48kg weight..consuming 3-4 pcs of egg per day....for 2 years now...but my weightmaintain that...not really heavy lifting work done...dont know why...

although egg is a good source of protein, vits and minerals, its moderate on calories. 3 eggs would be around 200 calories (depending on size).
Increase your food intake to gain weight.

Actually is it necessary to eat eggs? Its bad for acne too (I feel that).
Gain weight, should we actually do something else rather than eggs everyday?

Sometimes It relates to some other body system that are unhealthy.
For me, i always have this problem of getting stomachache. (Unhealthy digestion system). - It may be one of the reason why cant get fat

**I am a thin guy too**

It DEFINITELY has nothing to do with acne. And it is not specified that only eggs plays a large role in order for you to gain weight, other types of food that you consume and your choice of lifestyle plays a huge factor in this as well.

Haha basically ya it wont cause acne. Sry let me make it clear.
If make acne worse...for some people. (Include myself )

eggs have a lot of cholesterol. But it is mainly in the yolk.

If youre doing some workout, take the egg white is enough. thats where most of the proteins are.

Why don't you just buy whey then, instead of wasting good food.

too much protein, without exercise will lead to kidney failure. but if youre working out often then it shouldn't be a problem. same rule applies to supplements.

too much yolk will lead to raised cholesterol levels.

Someone from BB.com also claimed he consume 36 eggs per day and still alive.

Personally for me it's 4~6 whole eggs per day, usually it's half cooked.

too much hearsay will lead to rubbish advice.

1. a person with no disease of the kidney will not be affected.
2. dietary cholesterol has little to no impact on cholesterol level. however, if the person already has increased cholesterol level, following the advice maybe sound.

so Dr Slimey, instead of going for personal attacks why not back your 'facts' up? patho: the stones obstructing the kidney will lead to an atrophic kidney, resulting in a dilated and thinning of the kidney and impaired function. biochemistry: 1.75mg of bone calcium lost into urine, for every increased 1g of animal protein intake. when more than 90% of your kidney function is lost, you get ESRF. yes, so if just one kidney is blocked you will still be fine.

High protein diet has been implicated in chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, renal insufficiency, renal stones, cancer, coronary artery disease, It has been found that high animal protein intake in healthy individuals increases the probability of forming kidney stones by 250% - Robertson et al 1979.

Restricting protein intake improved lithogenic profile in hypercalciuric patients. - Giannini et al 1999.

High incidence of calcium oxalate, in increased intake of animal protein - Curhan et al 1996, Robertson n Peacock 1982.

Increase in urinary excretion of calcium with increased protein intake. As a result, may lead to loss of bone calcium, and formation of renal calcium stones - Allen et al 1979, Heany 1993, Leamann 1999.

Protein intake under 2. 8 g.kg does not impair renal function in well-trained athletes as indicated by the measures of renal function used in this study - Poortmans Dellalieux 2000.

Reduction in animal proteins and salt is associated with a lower relative supersaturation for calcium oxalate and a marked decrease in risk of incident stone formation. All the diets above mentioned have as a common characteristic the reduction of the potential acid load of the diet that can be correlated with a higher risk of recurrent nephrolithiasis. Containment of animal protein and salt can decrease significantly urinary supersaturation for calcium oxalate and reduce the relative risk of stone recurrence in hypercalciuric renal stone formers - Trinchieri 2013, J Med Life.

Patients with appreciable albuminuria are much more likely to develop tubulointerstitial scarring and fibrosis and progress to end-stage renal failure - Stoian 2012, J Med Life.

was what i shared too complicated for you?

so you look for ONE article to debunk the debunk the findings in at least SEVEN other articles?

TLDR/layman version: excess protein lead to kidney stones, and THEN kidney failure.

did you even read what i posted?

they did touch on kidney stones there.

aiks u changed the link

I suppose this is another grey area, with many inconclusive studies.

One side saying it's harmful, another saying insufficient evidence to prove its harmful.

so TS, I hope you have found your answer

The yolk is where all of the cholesterol (about 185mg) of an egg is found. The American Heart Association recommends keeping cholesterols intake to less than 300mg a day.
Not being aware of your daily cholesterol intake and eating more yolks is almost as bad as smoking for people at risk of heart disease.
you can consume the white as much as you want, but don't take more than 3 - 4 whole egg each week.

hope it hepled

If you are consuming the egg yolks, make sure you do enough exercise daily to burn off the cholesterol. Too much egg yolks will be bad for those who don't exercise at all.

This is helping no-one; the "yolks are as bad as smoking" study has been utterly discredited.

For the record, I ate seventeen eggs yesterday.

a few, like 2 per day, just the egg white not the egg yolk is good. good protein intake.

after so much writing and show proof, and you folks think egg yolk is bad?

I was not coming up with this from no where and i didn't make it up by myself.
Even though researchers on that study were only looking at people with pre-existing risk factors for heart disease and not the population at large, but it still valid as the amount of cholesterol would exceed the guidlines.

http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealt...278_Article.jsp
http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealt...484_Article.jsp

Check these two pages and have a look at their guidlines as www.heart.org (American Heart Association) is the most reliable source.

This is probably the most common nutrition myth and is so far from the truth it’s shocking. Eggs increase cholesterol. This statement is 100% true. However, one key word is missing that turns this statement on its head. Eggs increase GOOD cholesterol! That’s right eggs increase HDL (good cholesterol) not LDL (bad cholesterol). This original study was conducted by a cereal company! It’s no wonder that the conclusions were so negative towards having eggs for breakfast. Also, dried egg yolk powder and not real eggs were used in this study! Not only does nobody eat dried egg yolk powder, but in and of itself, dried yolk powder is toxic to blood vessels because it’s been oxidized. Eggs are a great protein source and cheap. Never use just egg whites alone the yolk actually offsets the insulin response from the white and contains healthy fats. If you’re watching your calories from fats its fine to have say 4 whites with 1 yolk. A note on cereal is that it’s a great way to increase your body-fat! Sugary cereals combined with insulinogenic milk will have your storing body-fat at an alarming rate not to mention have you crash hard one hour later. What really grates me is that the majority of cereal advertisements are aimed at children. If you have kids try replacing their cereal with eggs and watch their performance in school improve.

All the cholesterol in yolks are surly LDL FRIEND, please read more before giving information.

I guess all of my friends and most of gym regs are gonna die soon on nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

too much egg yolk is bad.

Could you kindly provide some links to reading materials for the above-highlighted?

But many dont get it, if you take cholesterol, it wont readily absorb into your body as a whole (again do understand there are good HDL and bad (LDL) cholesterol.

whats basically accumulates in your body are basically from trans fat. this is what you need to avoid or minimize.

But, if you have some coronary (CHD) then one should avoid most of the cholesterol intakes. As long as you are exercising heavy these intakes are not going to cause you any problems.

AGain, here are some reading material from research publications

Extensive studies on cholesterol from egg had also indicate that increasing egg intake, reduces CETP and NCET (if you are not sure what are those, read here;- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesteryles...ansfer_protein)


As I mentioned on the previous thread, posted above, the egg yolk brings way too many positive factor (nutrition;- vit/mineral) which outweighs its ill factor. For general public, eat in moderation as you do with any other food.

Egg is one of the best food comparatively to any other food; it brings you all the nutrition with less calories (about 70 cal), where most of the other food wont be able to do.

Good one bro.. people who told me wei cholesterol high leh eat so much eggs.. then they go makan their pisang goreng, ayam goreng, yao char guai......

I only take 1 egg yolk per day. those omega-3 eggs

Thats fine as well, unless you are implying something else?
