Eating eggs often

[dave_in_cw]

Are eggs bad for you? At work scrambled eggs on toast is about the only decent thing on the menu, but 'm just a bit concerned that having eggs every day might not be too good for the old cholesterol levels. Any comments would be appreciated, thanks.

According to Dr Atkins no they're not bad for you - i have yet to get independent confirmation but apparently eggs are high in cholesterol correct, but there are two types of choleywhatsit - i don't have the scientific names but they are referred to as good chol. and bad chol. and eggs are said to be mainly good chol. so no i don't (IMHO) think they are bad for you - as long as you don't eat them fried :-). I'd be more concerned about gaseous emmissions :-))))

According to Delia the other night it's a maximium of six a week...so make that your limit and don't incur the wrath of Lady Smith.

What does she know? she supports Norwich city.....

I think there are other health issues (ignoring cholywhatsit), which get people advising you minimise egg intake - salmonella for one....

Fried eggs beans and chips is tops for producing bottom burps, in case you're interested

[dave_in_cw]

I am interested, thanks. And I certainly do fart like a two stroke as it is. My flatmate will bear witness to that. I knew that about baked beans, but not about fried eggs. Still, all of those are great for hangovers, especially with greasy bacon. But the resulting bottom burps are not pretty.

Eggs are good for you unless you have a cholesterol or triglyceride problem. I know a chap in his nineties who eats 56 (scrambled) per week.

a doctor told me that people should eat no more than 3 a week of they want to maintain a healthy cholesterol level
