Eggs on the SCD

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I just read that eating a lot of eggs is bad for the cholesterol levels. I am

not currently having a boost in that, but three or four mornings per week, I eat

eggs for breakfast as the BTVC suggests. Since I read that there might be some

side effects of eating eggs later on in life, I thought it would be better to

decrease on their consumption. This causes another problem - what to eat for

breakfast. What do you eat for breakfast that is different from scrambled eggs

or an omlette? Any suggestions other than smoothies, sandwiches, and banana

pancakes. I already have these some mornings.

Thanks a lot!

Eggs causing cholesterol to go up, causing troubles, is part of the

mainstream medical advice still in effect with a lot of doctors and

articles. BUT, new the last few years research has shown that eggs are a

very good and beneficial food and we don't have to worry about the

cholesterol stuff so much. Maybe for people who have the genetic

very high cholesterol, I don't know, but not for most people. I have a

nurse friend who is in her 60's. She is diabetic and her doctors insist

on low cholesterol. However, she has been going more toward what I would

call sensible eating, namely eating real food. She told me the

other day she's been eating a whole lot MORE eggs in recent months and

her cholesterol has gone down. She laughed and said her doctor

would probably faint if she admitted this. I will be 70 later this year

and I'm delighted my digestion can handle eggs again. I really am not

expecting dramatic changes to cholesterol levels when next tested.
