Medical Forum / General / Cardiology / February 2008an egg a day
Would an egg a day be too much of a heart attack risk? Some links say yes while others say no. Some suggest 2 per week is the maximum. Your take? > Would an egg a day be too much of a heart attack risk? Some links say > yes while others say no. Some suggest 2 per week is the maximum. > > Your take? After my heart attack the nutritionist told me 3 yolks per week, maximum. I've pretty much stopped them completely, except for the occasion few pieces in a salad at a restaurant. 52 years old, decent cholesterol levels. >> Would an egg a day be too much of a heart attack risk?

Since having a heart attack, I've upped my egg intake to about a dozen a week, usually free range organic. If you are worried about cholesterol in eggs, you're completely wasting your time. My HDL now runs in the upper 60s. I cannot imagine that eggs are a heart attack risk and the issue of eggs containing cholesterol being a problem for the heart was debunked a long time ago.

Doing away with eggs completely does not make much sense while cutting it down makes a lot. Eggs contain nutrients that are very good for your eyes. You need to do exercise, I mean harsh exercises, preferrably harsh work in order to get your body working. Here in China, some farmers eat anything and smoke anything and drink anything and they are as healthy as buffalos. The secret is harsh work...

As with many questions, there is not one answer fits all. Can depend on what your lab tests show, your family history, your medical history, your level of activities, what other foods you eat.

Beware of those offering a simple "one size fits all" answers - if it were that simple, there would be no need for these medical types of groups. http://HeartMDPhD.com/Convicts/Idiotsatan > On Feb 16, 12:05 pm, mortonmull... > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > were that simple, there would be no need for these medical types of > groups. But these days given the amount of work and exercises we do, eating less may be a blessing. As I said, if you were like some Chinese farmers who labor all day long, eating or even smoking anything is well tolerated. But for 'civilized' people who sit on their a.ses all day long, eating less is recommended. Then again, how much to eat in terms of eating less is an individual thing, i suppose. The more active you are, the more calories you burn up, so can eat more without gaining weight - generally, overeat calories gain weight, undereat calories lose weight. Also, in general, being more active is better than being less active.

Not according to LORD Almighty GOD, Who created us (Exodus 16:16). It remains smarter to eat less, down to the right amount: http://HeartMDPhD.com/BeSmart Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be blessed: http://TheWellnessFoundation.com/BeHealthy Prayerfully in the infinite power and might of the Holy Spirit, Andrew <>< -- Andrew B.

Of course Moses et al in Exodus were wandering in the desert and not being "couch potatoes" eating potato chips and Twinkies and smoking and drinking beer while watching TV so their caloric intake was different. Best to stick to medical science for health care. For those of faith, God would not have created the scientific method if He did not want us to use it unless you believe the scientific method is like the Apple in the Garden of Eden http://HeartMDPhD.com/Convicts/Idiotsatan On Feb 17, 1:40 pm, "Andrew B. Chung, > http://HeartMDPhD.com/Convicts/Idiotsatan Your response sums up perfectly what you have to say and how everyone should accept it - well said.
