The truth about eggs and cholesterol: how eggs can actually LOWER your cholesterol and blood pressure



I see a lot of disinformation about eggs and their cholesterol - almost everywhere.
A lot of people seem to think that eggs are unhealthy.
Others will tell you that eggs are one of the best sources of high quality protein and that you should eat them weekly.
Who is right? Are eggs healthy? How many eggs should you eat?

Let’s find out the truth about eggs.
Hello, this is Katherine from 00Kidney.
I’m making this video not just for the kidney patients but for everyone who wants to eat healthy and who wants to take care of his own cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
The video you’re watching right now is different from the others you may have watched here on Youtube, because I’m basing what I’m saying on the very latest studies published about cholesterol in eggs.
There was an important study published just some months ago that really changed how people will be looking at eggs. I’ll explain you why in a moment.
So, today, my main purpose is to bust some eggs related myths and to show you that

you can actually
eat eggs to
lower your blood cholesterol
and even blood pressure

Now, organizations like the American Heart Association have been demonizing eggs for decades, convincing a lot of people that they should avoid eating eggs.
BUT, today we know that a lot of the diseases that were imputed to dietary fat and cholesterol are now well known to be caused by sugar consumption.
So, they told us eggs were causing obesity, heart disease and high cholesterol… then, studies found out that what was really causing all these diseases was sugary foods all the time.
But still people are afraid of cholesterol in eggs.
Now, that’s our main concern with eggs: they contain cholesterol.
But, where do we trace the line between what’s really dangerous about eating eggs and what’s just a myth or disinformation?
Let’s clarify one thing immediately.

High blood cholesterol
is a real danger
for our health
Higher cholesterol levels are associated with higher risk of heart disease and stroke.
High blood cholesterol is also associated with high blood pressure, the second leading cause of chronic kidney disease.
So, it is definitely not a myth that high cholesterol levels are dangerous.
Given this assumption, it seems very clear why a lot of people just prefer to avoid eggs altogether.
There’s cholesterol in eggs… so don’t eat eggs. Problem solved, right?...
But, on the other hand,

eggs
have excellent
nutritional values

. And there may be very compelling reasons to still eat them.
Let’s see what there is, in an egg.
One large egg weights about 50 grams and contains 78 calories.
There are 5 grams of fat, mostly saturated fat.
There are 6 grams of high quality protein, very nutritional, very digestible protein, with the perfect amino acid profile. Really good for your diet.
Then there’s some sodium and potassium, not very much.
Basically no carbs.
And then, as you can see, there’s cholesterol. We’re talking about 187 milligrams. We’ll get back to this quantity because it’s important.
And vitamins. Eggs are rich in vitamin A, useful for cell growth, immunity and with antioxidant properties.
There’s a lot of vitamin D, useful for the health of our bones and teeth.
There’s also B6, cobalamin, iron, magnesium… all these micronutrients are very useful for our body.

So basically, we can see that eggs are rich in antioxidants and vitamins. And there’s high quality protein in them.
Protein is the cornerstone of the correct way of eating.
We call high quality protein all the protein sources that are easy digestible and contain all the necessary amino acids. Our body really needs those amino acids. They are the building blocks of all the tissues in the body. We can’t function without amino acids.
So we need high quality protein on a daily basis, and eggs are great when it comes to nutritional values.

So, eggs are bad for their cholesterol but good for their high quality protein and vitamins.
Now you may say: Katherine, there are a lot of other sources of high quality protein we could use instead of eggs… like fatty fish, lean cuts of meat, beans… all of these are totally free from bad cholesterol. Even some dairy has less cholesterol than eggs.
So, why even bother with eggs?
Because

there are studies
showing that
dietary cholesterol
has a very little connection
with blood cholesterol levels
Yes, eating cholesterol rich foods won’t significantly affect your blood cholesterol levels.

Ok, now wait a minute before rushing to that McDonalds to eat all the cholesterol rich junk food you have been avoiding for the last ten years.
Dietary cholesterol is still dangerous.

As I was telling you in the first part of the video, there’s a very large research, published just a few months ago on The Journal of the American Medical Association giving us some new information on dietary cholesterol.
They may have found out that there’s a direct correlation between number of eggs eaten per day and the risk for cardiovascular disease.
So it seems like the more cholesterol you eat, the more you are at risk.
This is especially true for people with a predisposition for cholesterol problems
They also gave us a range: 300mg of cholesterol per day. That should be a safe range for people with cholesterol problems.
Eat less than that if you have high blood cholesterol levels.
One egg yolk contains about 187mg, so remember this number, when doing your meal planning.
Considering the most recent findings, what I’m recommending is to eat egg yolks in moderation.
Don’t eat more than 2 or 3 per week.
But, don’t obsess with cholesterol in eggs because it is far from proven that dietary cholesterol is the cause of the problem, especially if you don’t have high blood cholesterol levels.
Now, as I was telling you, it’s actually possible to use eggs to lower your blood cholesterol levels.

The kidney friendly diet

This video is the start of a series about how to improve our kidney function through the correct, kidney friendly diet. But I don’t like to call it a diet. This is more a kidney restoring program. It provides you the easiest way to give your kidneys all the nutrients they need to fight the disease, without introducing harmful toxins. Before we start, who is going to benefit more from this video?

For whom am I making this video?

If you:

• Suffer from chronic kidney disease, stage 2 to 5
• want to delay kidney failure and dialysis by up to 3 years
• want to know what natural ingredients and herbal remedies you can use to improve you renal function
• and if you have symptoms like being over-tired, swollen hands or feet, itchy skin and difficulty sleeping

Then this video is for you! And you absolutely need to watch it until the end. All these problems can be vastly improved, if not completely solved, following this easy, step by step program. How are we going to do that? The method that I have developed is more than a renal diet. And it’s a lot easier to follow than a regular diet. No keeping track of nutrients, no annoying meal planning and no measuring food or other bothersome tasks. Why? Because people only follow strict diets for the first few days or weeks and then start disregarding the diet completely. I’ve seen this a thousand times. This is why my method is a lot easier. There are foods that damage our kidneys and foods that can help healing them. The tricky part is understanding what are the good ones and what are the bad ones for you.

The same diet won’t work for everyone. A food healthy for patient A can be dangerous for patient B. And even the quantity plays a big role. Too much protein can put a strain on your kidneys, while too few can cause a dietary deficiency. Too many calories will make you gain weight, too few calories and you’ll start feeling even more tired. This may look complicated, but if you keep watching I’ll show you an easy and very effective strategy to tell what’s wrong and what’s right for your kidney diet. Yes, I’m putting together this video series to help you exactly understand what’s good and what’s bad FOR YOU. Watch the video to know what you should absolutely avoid in your renal diet
