"Eggs are all the nutrients needed for bodybuilding, and so naturally they are extremely nutrient rich," said Christopher Blesso, Associate Professor of Nutrition at the University of Connecticut.
Eggs, along with other foods, help us to increase our body's ability to absorb more nutrients. For example, one study found that eating eggs with salads increases the levels of vitamin A intake from salads.
But because of high cholesterol levels, for decades, there has been controversy over eating eggs — many studies suggest that eating eggs increases the risk of heart disease.
An egg yolk contains about 3 milligrams of cholesterol, which is half of the daily cholesterol levels in the US food policy. According to this policy 1 mg cholesterol can be taken daily.
Does that mean that eggs are actually doing us more harm than good?
Cholesterol, a type of yellow fat that is produced in our liver and intestines, is found in all human cells.
Usually we think of it as 'bad'. But cholesterol is one of the components of cell membrane or membrane formation. It is also important in the production of vitamin D and testosterone and oestrogen hormones in the body.
All the cholesterol we need is made in our body. Cholesterol is also found in animal foods that we consume, such as beef, shrimp, eggs, cheese and butter.
Blood lipoprotein molecules carry and transfer cholesterol to our bodies. Each of these people has different types of lipoproteins and determines whether the risk of heart disease will be made.
Low-density lipoprotein or LDL cholesterol is considered as bad cholesterol - which is transported from the liver to the arteries and cells. Researchers say that this causes cholesterol accumulation in the blood vessels and increases the risk of heart disease.
However, the researchers did not mention that cholesterol intake was associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Because of this, US dietary regulations do not ban cholesterol intake; There is no such ban in the UK.
Instead, the emphasis has been on reducing saturated fat intake, warning that it may increase the risk of heart disease. Foods that contain trans fat or artificial fats are high in LDL.
Although some trans fats are naturally found in animal derived or produced foods, much of this type of fat is produced in artificial ways. The highest levels of fat are found in margarines, snacks and dipping oils, such as fried and baked foods such as pastries, donuts and cakes.
In the meantime, eggs without shrimp are the only foods that have high cholesterol but are low in saturated fat.
"Although eggs have higher cholesterol than meat and other animal foods, saturated fat increases the amount of cholesterol in the blood. This has been explained by many studies over the years," said Maria Luiz Fernandez, a professor of nutrition at the University of Connecticut. A recent study has shown that eating eggs has nothing to do with increased risk of heart disease.
The discussion on egg health has taken on a slightly different field. Because our bodies are able to absorb the cholesterol we consume.
"There are certain systems in the body, so for most people, cholesterol is not an issue in the diet list," said Elizabeth Johnson, an associate professor of nutritional studies at Tufts University in Boston, USA.
In a study conducted by Johnson, a group of researchers led the analysis of the results of six studies. They did not find any association of heart disease with cholesterol in the diet list.
"The thing that happens when people take cholesterol with food is that the body lowers cholesterol production," he said.
And when it comes to eggs, it is said that this cholesterol is less risky than the general health risk. Cholesterol causes more damage when it is ruptured in our arteries. But the cholesterol available from eggs is not excreted, said Blesso.
"When cholesterol breaks down or is exposed to oxygen, it causes inflammation, and eggs have all kinds of anti-oxidants that protect them from being burned," he said.
Besides, some cholesterol is good for us. High-density lipoprotein or HDL cholesterol is transported to the liver, where it breaks down and is excreted from the body. It is thought that HDL does not cause cholesterol to accumulate in the blood, so it has the effect of preventing heart disease.
"People should be aware of what kind of cholesterol is flowing in the blood. Otherwise, the risk of heart disease can be high," said Fernandez.
It is important to note the difference between HDL and LDL in the body, because HDL prevents the harmful effects of LDL.
However, although most of us control the cholesterol we eat through liver cholesterol, Blesso says that when one third of people take cholesterol with food, their blood cholesterol levels rise by 5% to 5%.
The tests found that
