Egg yolks - Medical pop Science or Historical Fact ?

[Ziggy]

you mean it? the teacher told me my idea is more suitable for dog food. . . now that's just rude!

If only dog food was so good! On the side of the Waldbaums by my house is a bin that they pour spent cooking oil in. There's a label on the bin that says a lot of stuff, I read it once. It said they use it for dog food.

Yup, as long as you find a good way to preserve the yolks...

That would be were the real problem comes in though. They'd fuck it up with chemicals for shelf life.

A whole egg is good for you; not quite so sure about fried since you're injecting more oil into the egg and altering it with additional heat and minerals from the pan.

Well yes, when you cook it, you cook some of the nutrients out of it. But that's the same for anything, like vegetables. If you're frying it, yeah, you're adding something to it. But if it's just butter (how I fry my eggs) then you're probably alright. Butter isn't bad for you (not including stuff that might be added to butter like preservatives or whatever). Cooking sprays on the other hand are a different story. I don't use those anyway.

I'm allergic to egg whites (still eat 'em anyway) so go YOLK. But the yolk-in-a-can is actually used in the food industry. Either to be put in the processing process or to be used in fast-food eateries for a quick omelette.

All the same that you're allergic to egg whites. There's nothing in there compared to the yolk. I think bakeries get egg yolks/white separated for things that need just the yolk or just the white. Which reminds me of when I worked at McDonald's when I was younger. Scrambled eggs were poured from a milk container called PWE. I'm sure besides scrambled eggs, it also contains a ridiculous amount of other stuff. If you ever want a good laugh, go on the McDonald's website and read the ingrediants to their food. It's scary.

I like bran. Why don't people eat more bran? (Or oatmeal for that matter.)

I love oatmeal! But oats are gluten, too. Though I've been told that wheat is the worst. And that's what most breads, cereals and pastas are made from. Here's an interesting fact I recently learned: Back in the day before all the big companies owned everything, when bread was made from family bakeries, the bakers would ferment the dough for up to 8 hours. This would actually change the gluten protein to be more digestible. These days, it's all about how many loafs of bread can be made and packaged and sent out. They don't ferment the dough like they use to, and as a result, it becomes worse to eat. But this is just one example of how we fucked up food.

So bread is just bad for your period? I thought that eating multigrain bread with 6 grams of fiber would at least be better for your health than all that other garbage.

With any healthy diet its good to eat a mix of foods. Bread and grains being bad for you is another idea that comes and goes. In my personal opinion grains especially whole grains you should consume the most of in a day then any other food group. I most mention though that if you live an active life style having carbs is a good thing, but if all you do is sit around it will become your enemy.

More or less, yes...

Nope...

If you have type O blood I would avoid grains as a whole. Other blood types should use it with moderation...

So can you actually chug egg yolks raw like Rocky with out getting sick? I'd totally try that.

[vlame]

mmm boiled yolks.

^ Apparently eating raw eggs that are organic is perfectly safe. Though I don't think I'll ever try that.

I've been told that whole wheat/multi grain breads are a little better for you, but still not too good to be eating. Apparently the only bread that's OK to be eating is any kind of grain that has sprouted, like ezekiel bread. Sprouted wheat bread is completely different than wheat bread. But even with that you don't want to over do it.

With any healthy diet its good to eat a mix of foods.

Well that's the one thing pretty much every one can agree on, a balanced diet. The problem with breads and such is that too many people over do it. Myself included.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that, unless you're talking about the right point. Like I've said already, there's a lot of misinformation out there. And the fact that the "top dogs" decide to change their views on a particular food every 5 years doesn't help. But I don't mean breads and grains exactly, I said gluten. A gluten is most breads and whatnot.

In my personal opinion grains especially whole grains you should consume the most of in a day then any other food group.

My brother called me a carbaholic once, and I definitely use to be. Apparently, breads and such are not what you want to be eating the most of. Fat and protein are what you want the most of in each meal. A bagel, not a good meal. Bacon and eggs, a million times better. Grains wont be a problem until you over do them. And most of us definitely over do them (and we don't even know it). Pasta and bread? What an awesome dinner. But it's 90% wheat. And I'm not necessarily talking about weight issues, it's more about the nutrients your body wants and the crap your body doesn't know what to do with.

People used to think that egg yolks were bad because they're high in cholesterol. And people with high blood cholesterol got heart disease. But as it turns out, dietary cholesterol only contributes around 5% of total blood cholesterol, so it's really only something you have to worry about if you have high cholesterol already.

As for bread, white flour is basically long chained sugar. It's converted straight away into simple sugars after absorption. Really the only difference is that your insulin levels don't spike as much, which is a significant difference. But overall, bread is empty calories. But it's a good fiber delivery mechanism if you eat whole grain.

As for gluten, if you haven't been diagnosed with celiac's disease... By which I mean, if you haven't had blood drawn and checked for antibodies, don't worry about it.

My NRT doctor would disagree.

It is not necessary to have celiac disease in order to suffer from the negative effects of gluten’s irritation and damage to the intestinal lining.

I hope so.


By the way, in my opinion, this is one of the top reasons I think the Racketboy forums are so great. It's a video game forum that we can have a thread titled "Egg yolks - Medical pop Science or Historical Fact ?" with a serious discussion that doesn't end up turning into bullshit.
