Blood clots: Compound found in eggs linked to an enhanced risk of blood clotting
Express UK ^

Posted on 01/25/2023 5:43:52 AM PST by Tench_Coxe

BLOOD clotting is a normal response to injury. Sometimes, however, it can lead to cramps, pain and swelling, and if it enters the circulatory system, it can be fatal. In a small study, one popular breakfast food has been linked to the condition.

It’s “found in eggs”.

Well, uranium is “found in eggs”.

Truth is, many reliable studies show eating a fair number of eggs per day results in less death by all cause mortality.

Eggs come from slave hens that are held in lifelong confinement. If you eat eggs you are racist and inhumane. It’s very important to recognize our transgressions and transform our food sources to sustainable, diverse, equitable and humane sources. It’s becoming increasingly clear that we should derive protein from free-range insects. Your insect source should be local to decrease impact to climate change. Ideally, you would be harvesting a wide range (diverse) of insects from your home. This will eliminate the use of pesticides that poison the environment. Additionally, this reduces carbon emissions since there will no longer be a need to transport a most important food source using fossil fuels. Insects have always been naturally sustainable. Their ability to reproduce and hide make it virtually impossible to eradicate.

I'm surprised a study hasn't come up yet with how pot can prevent cots.

Have you noticed there's bioengineered ingredients in Mayonaise and peanut butter? Maybe that ingredient causes clots.

This is nothing new, the link between the choline in eggs and TMAO has been known for quite some time.

Now that eggs are in short supply - evidenced by the EMPTY shelves I discovered just 16 hours ago, a new development - we can be certain that marijuana will NEVER be implicated in any of these maladies.

There's a dark and a troubled side of life
There's a bright and a sunny side too
Though we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunnyside we also may view...

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Isn’t it amazing what they are discovering these days that causes blood clots, heart attacks, died suddenly, myocarditis and pericarditis, strokes, miscarriages, etc that we never knew before?

Yes....truly amazing!

What? No!!!

I am calling upon my comrades in PITI (people for the inculpable treatment of insects) to cancel you!

Choline and Health
Cardiovascular disease

Choline has been suggested to both protect and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Choline, along with the B vitamin folate, helps to lower blood levels of homocysteine by converting it to methionine. High homocysteine levels are a risk factor for CVD. Choline may also help to reduce blood pressure and stroke. In a study of almost 4,000 African-American participants followed for 9 years, higher choline intakes were associated with a lower risk of ischemic strokes. [3]

But choline may also act negatively toward the heart. Choline is converted by gut bacteria into a byproduct called trimethylamine (TMA), which is then converted in the liver to trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). Higher blood levels of TMAO have been associated with a higher risk of CVD in animal studies. [4,5] However, it is unclear what is TMAO’s relationship to CVD, or if it is just a marker of an underlying disease process that leads to CVD. A large cohort of men and women from the Nurses’ Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study, followed for 20-25 years, found that higher phosphatidylcholine intakes were associated with an increased risk of deaths from CVD and other causes. [6] There was a 26% increased risk of CVD deaths when combining data from both cohorts comparing the highest intakes of phosphatidylcholine with the lowest. Furthermore, having diabetes heightened that risk. It is believed that circulating TMAO may promote atherosclerosis by preventing the removal of cholesterol in the liver. However, it was noted that TMAO blood levels were not measured in this study, only choline from foods reported in diet questionnaires.

Other earlier, large epidemiological studies found the contrary, with no association of high choline intakes with a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, though these studies also did not specifically measure TMAO blood levels. [7,8]

There appears to be an association with diets high in choline-rich foods and cardiovascular disease, but the reasons for this link need further study.

Food Sources
Choline is found in a variety of foods. The richest sources are meat, fish, poultry, dairy, and eggs.

Beef, beef liver
Egg yolks
Chicken breast
Fish
Shiitake mushrooms
Potatoes
Legumes (beans, peanuts)
Milk
Yogurt
Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage)
Sunflower seeds

Signs of Deficiency and Toxicity
Deficiency

Most Americans eat less than the AI for choline but a deficiency is very rare in healthy persons, as the body can make some choline on its own. Also, the amount of dietary choline an individual needs can vary widely and depends on various factors. For example, premenopausal women may have lower requirements for dietary choline because higher estrogen levels stimulate the creation of choline in the body. A higher choline requirement may be needed in persons who have a genetic variation that interferes with the normal metabolism of choline. [10] A true choline deficiency can lead to muscle or liver damage, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. [12]

That’s the problem with you leftists. You think insects are people too, and thus it’s inhumane to eat insects. We all know chickens are human and we shouldn’t be eating innocent unborn chicks. That’s murder.

Egg material has been used in the manufacture of vaccines. Up until I retired some 20+ years ago, I was always asked “Do you have any allergy to eggs?”, before been given the free flu vaccine at work.

Probably not. But I wouldn't be surprised if other studies may be.

I'm old enough to remember "butter is bad for you, use margarine instead". An old timer once told me: ever notice that flies don't land on margarine?

There was also a story in the UK about “dirt on your hands” being a cause of clotting.

This is insane. What is more insane is that they expect us to believe all of these alternatives instead of the true cause.
