If you can tolerate eggs they really are a marvelous whole food that can be part of any meal of the day. Eggs are considered to be the most complete protein source in a single food – their amino acid complex is perfectly proportioned! They offer a fabulous source of carotene, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin D and niacin. And of course they are an excellent source of minerals, offering the easiest form of iron (‘heme’) to absorb and of course calcium, phosphorus and trace minerals.
Do not get caught up in the high cholesterol drama – this is an absolute myth.
“First and foremost cholesterol is a vital component of every cell membrane on Earth. In other words, there is no life on Earth that can live without cholesterol.

No wonder lowering cholesterol too much increases one’s risk of dying. Cholesterol also is a precursor to all of the steroid hormones. You cannot make estrogen, testosterone, cortisone, and a host of other vital hormones without cholesterol.” – Dr Ron Rosedale, leading anti-aging doctor in the United States. Read more here.
