Written by | published on

"Whole" or "skim" - eventually it may make much less of a difference than either low-fat or high-fat proponents may still believe.... that is if you're young and healthy and not doing the "1 gallon o' milk"-routine, bro ;-) Now that more and more people begin to get that eggs are not toxic cholesterol bombs, it's about time that scientists re-address the myth that putting the "whole" in the "milk" would have serious health consequences... oh, wait: Eventually, Sara Engel and colleagues from the  University of Copenhagen  found statistically sign. health consequences - allegedly heart-healty ones! More specifically, the authors observed that only 3-weeks on whole vs. skim milk will significantly elevate the HDL levels of 18 healthy adults who were randomly assigned to a sequence of treatments consisting of 0.5 L/d of whole milk and skimmed milk as part of their habitual diet.

Still throwing away the yolks? Bad idea... even your gains would benefit from the very part of the egg where most of the nutritional value is hidden. You will have read it in the Facebook News  already (if you didn't subscribe, yet, I can only recommend you head over to facebook.com/suppversity right away): whole eggs build more muscle than egg whites. If that's true, generations of bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts have literally  thrown away their gains by separating and trashing the yolks of their beloved (? how one can love egg-whites, only is beyond me, anyway ?) egg- whites . In view of the fact that eggs have always been one of  SuppVersity Readers' Favorites  I thought: why shall I stick to only one egg study? Let's check out what else the egg-o-logy has to offer, these days... Whole eggs are also an excellent source of dietary protein Yolk: Triglyceride & LDL ↓, HDL ↑ Eggs Boost Vit Uptake 3-4-fold Egg-o-logy - All About Eggs Eg...

There are 1bn ways to prepare your eggs and the Internet is a rich source of recipes. You will probably remember the SuppVersity news about the pro-anabolic effects of eggs - whole eggs - from the other day. Now, "gainz" are nice, but as a recent study from the  University of Alabama at Birmingham  indicates (Goss 2017), they are also a highly useful diet food. In their recent experimental trial, Amy Miskimon Goss and colleagues investigated the effects of whole eggs, being consumed as part of a low carb diet on the diet-induced changes in body composition, body fat distribution and selected health parameters in aging men and women. Whole eggs are also an excellent source of dietary protein Yolk: Triglyceride & LDL ↓, HDL ↑ Eggs Boost Vit Uptake 3-4-fold Egg-o-logy - All About Eggs Egg is Healthier Than Oatmeal Eggs Contain Preformed Vit D 3 eggs/d = Doping for 'ur Heart For their randomized clinical trial, Goss et al. recruited 26 m...

Don't miss out on a long-neglected superfood. With the latest study from the University of Connecticut  the evidence of beneficial (heart-)health effects of increased egg consumption keep accumulating - and this time, we are up to three eggs per day in healthy subjects. The latest study from the  University of Connecticut  adds to the previously discussed health benefits of eggs . Starting with the important and scientifically warranted premise that HDL function may be more important than HDL concentration in determining risk for cardiovascular disease, the authors Diana M DiMarco, Gregory H Norris, Courtney L Millar, Christopher N Blesso, and Maria Luz Fernandez conducted a study to confirm and quantify the previously observed increases in HDL and LDL particle size, LCATactivity, and plasma apoAII and carotenoid concentrations in unhealthy populations, in a group of 40 men and women 40 men and women [age 18–30 y, BMI (in kg/m²) 18.5–29.9] who were - hopefully just li...
