lol people can be strange when it comes to food, those Japanese eat healthy diets, of healthy weights, low smoking rates, active, low alcohol, variety of world leading foods with world class micronutrients (green tea, kimchi, kombucha, natto) etc. just because they eat eggs and live long doesn’t mean eggs are healthy, it means other things they eat around those eggs make them healthy. It’s true, people pick and choose what suits their habits regardless of what they get told. Sad!

Wow, just spent an hour jumping from one egg video to another and by far this is the best, no bs and honest summary. Automatic sub!

Clear explanation. Some people choose eggs because the cost is lower than meat.

I’ve been watching so many videos this morning on whether or not eggs are good and this is the best video I’ve seen on the question. 🍳

*Summary: - Eggs do raise cholesterol levels, especially in people who are starting with low cholesterol - In people with already high cholesterol, eating eggs will not raise their cholesterol by much (hyperbolic curve effect). However, they should probably avoid eggs with the aim of lowering their cholesterol. - Eggs may raise both LDL and HDL, but the fact that they raise LDL ("bad") is more significant to their effects on health. - Egg whites are a good, but not essential, protein source - Healthy individuals with diets rich in fiber and unsaturated fats can choose to eat an egg here and there, based on personal preference.

Then, the Nursing home, once he was admitted, really started restricting his diet and cutting out the stuff he ate all his life. My Grandpa, his son, made them give him his bacon and eggs back into his meal plan. He was really upset because he was 105 years old and he just wanted to eat what he wanted. And, at the age of 105, why not just let him eat whatever he WANTED to eat?!!? Ya know what I mean?!!? He was extremely healthy, though. He died from a broken heart, I believe. He was really upset about having to go to a Nursing home. And, I don't blame him. But, he got to the point where he was way too much for my Grandma and Grandpa to take care of on their own. They were very old, themselves!!! And, they didn't want to put him in a Nursing home at all. And, we were up there visiting him around the clock. Except for bedtime, of course. But, yeah, he didn't die from clogged arteries. Eating eggs and bacon every morning let him live to the ripe old age of 105!!! I'd say that was pretty good!!!Dietary cholesterol does NOT translate into higher cholesterol levels within your body. It just doesn't!!! And, obviously, this doctor isn't really all that up to date on the information on Dietary cholesterol and the effects it actually has on your cholesterol levels within your body. Eggs actually have a emulsifier in them!!! Breaks down the cholesterol!!! So, NO need to worry about the cholesterol content of eggs. I, myself, have ate eggs and bacon (and or sausage) pretty much EVERY morning of my life, too, since I was a teenager. Perfect blood work!!! Perfect!!! Eggs AND bacon don't raise your cholesterol levels much at all (if they do at all)!!! Sugars, processed foods, etc., will raise your cholesterol levels. I ate a LOT of eggs and bacon (and or sausage) over my lifetime!!! Same with my great Grandpa who lived to be 105 years old before he passed away

I started eating 3 eggs a day many days during the week for workout protein. For a decade take statin drugs, latest one a few years ago lowered cholesterol a bit more. Then in pandemic when eggs like toilet paper disappeared from supermarkets, a farmer friend gave me a set of chickens. Then a got into eating much more eggs than before. Had cholesterol checked, and no change. Then got started in heavy weight lifting to get in better shape, and cholesterol quickly dropped again, and now after a year of gym, continues to straight line decline. All cholesterol indicators are in preferred ranges of concentration. The impact of switching to a much higher egg protein diet has had zero negative cholesterol impact on me. The taste is great and the protein is a supplement for muscle building working out.

Live your videos: 1. NHS UK - Eggs are an excellent source of protein, there is no recommended limit on how many eggs you should eat a week, but variety is important to a balanced diet, so try poached, boiled, omelette to make sure you mix up your meals. 2. Diet is responsible for about 20% of cholesterol 3. Heart disease is multifaceted and chasing a single number is somewhat insufficient as a solution - family history, smoking, alcohol, blood pressure, weight, exercise regime, plaque deposition in arteries all very important too.

I’m so happy you are here but it’s so sad about HDL cholesterol because mine is so high and my ratio was so good and now I know it’s meaningless. Pride always comes before a fall. X

Very interesting and informative 👍

You are the clearest most informative person I’ve ever encountered. I aspire to be like you!

I have grave doubt about short term studies. The body's homeostatic systems need a while to kick in. And your age governs many metabolic states, so, I'd like to see studies check results from 20-40, 40-60 and 60+. Calorie restriction is an obvious example. It takes a few months before your body starts to reduce aspects of your metabolism if you reduce daily calorie intake, but the effect is very different through the age ranges.

Good point. No food is good or bad per se. It all depends on context.

"The recent evidence surrounding egg consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease is mixed. However, the weight of evidence suggests that eggs have a neutral relationship with heart health neither remarkably increasing nor decreasing risk. This suggests eggs can be included as part of a heart healthy eating pattern and can be chosen as one of a variety of protein foods- including fish and seafood, legumes, nuts and seeds, and poultry" Heart foundation Australia.

Thank you so much my friend. Your videos are brilliant. Full of so much brilliant advice. And it's so true - protein is everywhere! More protein in peanuts than most meats.

Do you go more by body weight or by body fat %.

Although I eat alot of animal products, this was a wonderful and informative video.

A nuanced story indeed, but still I have a comment. Since, what adds to the controversy, it is also important how data are presented. The graphs shown suffer from y axis cutting which can be quite misleading. The total rise of the level is about 10%., but a quick glance on the graph gives the impression the level almost doubles. Adding to this the remark that cholesterol level "shoots' up gives the viewer/listener the feeling that it is a big deal. But a 10% rise, is that actually a lot ? I question that, all the more considering the natural variation, and other nuancing aspects mentioned later in the video. Thumbs up for that !

thanks

refreshingly honest

What about the mantra that we require one gram of protein per kg of bodyweight? Also, have you heard of Dr Gabrielle Lyons and her emphasis on protein intake and maintaining muscle mass. Your thoughts please.

What do you eat for breakfast for protein?

Gil, could taking something like ezetimibe, remove any risk from eating dietary cholesterol and saturated fats? Or how should one perceive this? I love eggs(taste and it's easy to make a quick meal with), but at the same time have found out recently, I have extreme levels of lp(a) and wondered if, ezetimibe, could be a way to "work around" this issue of increased risk from diet. Surely you must have been asked about this before? 😉🙂

I read somewhere that if you gain cholesterol from diet, it was because your body actually needed the additional cholesterol. That (now forgotten) source continued by saying that when your body has achieved enough cholesterol, then enzyme action in the gut will begin to cut dietary cholesterol uptake. In short, the premise is your body knows how to take care of itself. I also note a different source, this one I recall being "Grain Brain", that had *numerous* powerful examples suggesting that a total cholesterol level of perhaps 260 is actually a very desireable metric, as opposed to the 150 or less usually recommended. Even assuming that all the above is true, I strongly suspect that dysbiosis can "wreck" the equation. That is, I imagine that when the gut is not in good health, then the gut "enzyme action" which inhibits cholesterol uptake will not function properly and, voila, the resulting total cholesterol then exceeds what the body needed, perhaps considerably. Thoughts? By the way, I'm super impressed with your knowledge and pragmatism.

He advised that we only need 1 month to show any changes. So I went from Jan 2023 to Feb 2023 with no meds. I guess the other 10% of my diet that isn't plant based was a causal factor as my numbers jumped and I went back on my meds. The 10% includes 2 farm fresh unwashed eggs at breakfast every morning and sometimes an egg salad sandwich for lunch with the other part of the 10% being fish. So I'm going to dropping eggs from my diet and do another test in a couple of months.

As the Mayo Clinic reports, most healthy people can eat up to seven eggs a week without increasing their risk of heart disease. Studies have even shown that eating between one and three eggs on a daily basis improves HDL levels, which is the good type of cholesterol. HDL helps to remove some of the bad kind of cholesterol (known as LDL) from your arteries, so you want your HDL levels to be high so that they protect your heart. Of course, everyone is different. Keep in mind that people with diabetes are already at higher risk of heart disease and some research suggests that eating as many as seven eggs a week could elevate their risk even more. In short, there is research to back both cases. We suggest limiting your egg consumption-whether that's once a week or three times a week-so that you keep your heart in tip-top shape.

And according to researchers, provides rationale to reevaluate heart health guidelines. The research team - comprised of experts from seven different countries - evaluated data collected from 19 studies on a total of 68,094 older adults. The team was seeking to determine if LDL cholesterol is associated with death in the older adults. According to the cholesterol hypothesis, it should directly relate. According to the BMJ study, it doesn’t. Researchers say almost 80 percent of the participants in the studies who had high LDL cholesterol did not die because of their cholesterol level. On the other hand, researchers discovered people with low levels of LDL cholesterol, or LDL-C, had the highest rates of death related to cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of deathTrusted Source for both men and women in the United States. “These findings provide a paradoxical contradiction to the cholesterol hypothesis,” researchers wrote. “The cholesterol hypothesis predicts that LDL-C will be associated with increased all-cause and [cardiovascular disease] mortality.” Overall, the researchers - four of whom have published books criticizing the cholesterol hypothesis - say, “the benefits from statin treatment have been exaggerated.”

How the ‘Cholesterol Hypothesis’ Came to Be Those who have challenged the importance of LDL cholesterol say we’ve been measuring things incorrectly. What researchers are learning is that cholesterol may not be a direct indicator of heart disease and total cholesterol - the accumulation of three types of fat in the blood - could be a useless metric. Paying attention to triglycerides, however, might be the best number to monitor regarding heart health. Lustig, an outspoken critic of the processed food industry, is one of those people. While not involved in the most recent BMJ research, said it proves that LDL cholesterol doesn’t matter. But he’s not the first person to suggest so. In the 1960s, there was a battle going on over what caused heart disease. There were two camps. One said sugar was the culprit while the other said dietary fat, particularly saturated fat, was the bad guy. John Yudkin, a British physiologist and nutritionist, suggested sugar was to blame. Ancel Keys, an American scientist, pushed the dietary fat issue. The two battled it out during the 1970s, but three major findings relegated fat as heart health enemy number one. The first, Lustig says, was the issue of familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic disease where people lacked an LDL receptor in their liver, causing them to die of a heart attack as early as their teenage years. The second was that dietary fat raised LDL cholesterol. “That is true. I’m not going to argue that,” Lustig said. The third argument in the fat-is-bad argument was that elevated LDL levels in the larger population correlated with heart disease. “That was the idea, and therefore fat was the problem, sugar wasn’t. Yudkin was thrown under the bus, died basically a forgotten man, and the low-fat hypothesis ruled the day, destroyed our diets, and basically caused the obesity and metabolic syndrome pandemic we now experience,” Lustig said in an interview with Healthline. “It turned out those three items, all of which were semi true, turned out to be irrelevant and were unrelated.”

You have not watched or understood the video.

Could you do a video on whether fruit is healthy? (I know that sounds crazy) I just see some people claiming it to be too sweet because we have selectively bred it to be that way. Not saying I believe this for a second, just curious!

i made one a while back (it's how to eat healthy step 2 or something to that effect). i'll probably do more in the future. all data points to great outcomes with fruit. we have to act on evidence not speculations :)

@@alexmoore5332 it's this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pnZ-ssmGZtqXYpM.html it's an oldie, I go over some basics but it's not that in depth. the 'food X is not good because it has changed a lot' argument isn't very relevant, either we have data or we don't (and if we do it's almost always with the modern version of the food, for obvious reasons, so it obviates speculation)

I'd like to see a video on collagen for vegans, it seems like the only affordable options are animal based for all the types (1, 2, 3... etc) and do vegans really need to supplement it? It seems like certain aminos like glycine and proline are very hard to get from plants and I noticed my skin has more wrinkles since going vegan so I just started supplementing. Also if we do supplement aminos, most are animal-based and even plant-based including fermented are most likely from non-GMO corn. First world problems, I know. Second, I'd like to see a video on creatine which cannot be found in plants. I've noticed huge improvements in energy since supplementing it as a vegan and in conjunction with 2:1:1 aminos my muscle mass goes away much much slower (ie I look as jacked as I did when eating meat). Creatine is also associated with cognitive brain benefits as well and I do feel sharper than before. Third on the list would be other things vegans cannot get such as Taurine (do we really need this, should I supplement it?), Carnosine (I do supplement ALCAR for brain benefits), and DHA (though I think you have covered this in past videos). Thanks!

"do vegans really need to supplement it?" I'd argue no one needs it.

If your diet is deficient then your probably not on the proper human diet.

It's interesting to me that the people that did the study on the college students felt they had to do a double blind study. Is the placebo effect so powerful that it can actually raise or lower your blood cholesterol levels? That seems unlikely.

maybe not directly but if they know what they're being fed it might change their other dietary and/or lifestyle habits. double-blinding (if possible) removes even more potential confounders

@@NutritionMadeSimple Yes, I didn't think of that.

I'm 3 years late to this video, I appreciate your content. My confusion is, as someone with high-ish LDL(130) , I'm told "Cholesterol esterification is a mechanism the body uses to store and transfer cholesterol"..and that ingested cholesterol from eating food will have very little impact on my LDL / apoB levels. The study you referenced seems to contradict this. As you said, very confusing. I guess I should simply not take the risk and greatly reduce my eggs intake (5-6 eggs per week).
