Craking the controversy about eggs A new study has shown than, for many people, eggs can be a part of a healthy diet. They are good sources of protein, folate and minerals. And nutrients found in eggs, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, are important for people susceptible to developing eye problems such as macular degeneration and cataracts.
A recent study found that men who ate six or fewer eggs a week had no change in their level of risk of death. However, eating more than one egg a day was linked to an increase in the risk of death. Men with diabetes who ate any eggs also had a greater risk of all causes of mortality.
Diet guidelines aimed at restricting eggs should not be generalized to include everyone. It's bet to follow the individual advice of your doctor or dietitian about eggs.
If you need to restrict your eggs, the fat and cholesterol is found in the egg yolk, not in the whites. You can substitute two egg whites for one whole egg in breads, pancakes and baked goods. Or try a cholesterol-free eggs substitute. Usually ¼ cup of egg substitute equals one whole egg.
