Eggs May Raise Heart Risk Via Gut Bacteria
medicalnewstoday ^

Posted on 04/28/2013 7:53:39 PM PDT by chessplayer

Yet another study, by the same US research team, links raised risk of heart attack and stroke to the action of gut bacteria on certain compounds contained in digested food. This time the link is to a compound found in eggs: lecithin.

Earlier this month, researchers reported in Nature Medicine how they found L-carnitine, a compound found in red meat and added to energy drinks, can increase heart risk because gut bacteria digest it to produce trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), a metabolite already suspected of helping to clog up arteries.

Eggs are bad for you in odd-numbered years.
In even-numbered years, they are nature's perfect food.

An egg is a container of cell culture fluid; why would stuff in there be dangerous, esp to such a vulnerable thing...?

I guess God/evolution made a huge error?

Morning breakfast ritual-—1 fried egg, 1 buttered (real deal) bagel, 1 cup java, fruit(orange preferably) and a small orange juice. The body shall obey the rules.

The “study” involved anti biotics, the whole premise is preposterous.
Sulfur is a necessary nutrient to all human beings, eggs contain sulfur.
Most everything we have been told for the last money grubbing 30 years is IMHO absolute b/s.
Did your Granmda cook with eggs?
Of course she did!

I believe what Mark Twain said (not the FReeper MT) - he said "My habits protect me but they're liable to assassinate you"

Everything in moderation. Like, I think I'll have another vodka gimlet please, thank you.

The Med Mafia guns for eggs again, whodda thunk it?

Could it be the fact that those eating plenty of eggs live longer and don’t go to Duckters?

The BS gets deeper every day.

Eggs are obviously perfect for the chickens that come from them; where do the Duckters get their crazy ideas from?

If they replace the word “may” to “will” that’s when I will pay attention. Until then pass the eggs please.

L-Carnitine Could Improve Cardiac Health Following Heart Attack

http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/1112822098/l-carnitine-red-meat-cardiac-health-benefits-heart-attack-041313/

(excerpt)

redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports – Your Universe Online

While foods like steaks and hamburgers are often negatively linked to cardiovascular health, new research published in Friday’s edition of Mayo Clinic Proceedings suggests a compound commonly found in red meat could actually improve cardiac health in patients following a heart attack.

The authors of that paper conducted a systematic review of 13 different controlled studies and linked the compound L-carnitine with a “significant reduction” in the risk of death from all causes following a heart attack. Furthermore, the substance was linked with a “highly significant reduction” of death resulting from ventricular arrhythmias and anginal attacks following a cardiac event, when compared to control groups or placebos.
