Fun Food Facts:
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? According to the bible, the chicken came first: "And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. And God said, 'Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.'" Genesis 1:10-20.
EGGS are a nutritionally perfect food. The protein quality of eggs is even superior to milk, beef, whey, and soy, making eggs one of the best source of protein ever. Don’t be afraid to eat the yolk. It’s good for you. It’s loaded with vitamins and nutrients. They are one of the best sources of choline, an essential nutrient essential for cardiovascular and brain function and for cell health. If you’re worried about cholesterol, according to the Harvard Medical School Guide to Healthy Eating, “No research has ever shown that people who eat eggs have more heart attacks than people who eat no eggs.” People vary widely in their response to dietary cholesterol. Now, I do not recommend you eat eggs every day. That would take away from eating a whole grain breakfast with nuts and fruit. Eating eggs 1-2x per week is OK in my book. In order to minimize oxidation, the best way to enjoy them is to keep the yolk in tact, so hard-boiled, soft-boiled, or poached are the best way to go.
