The world’s oldest woman has cracked the secret to her longevity: eggs. Emma Morano, who will turn 117 on November 27, gobbles up at least two eggs a day, and has done so for 90 years — for an egg-streme lifetime total she says is over 100,000. Born in 1899, Morano, of Verbania, Italy began eating eggs religiously when she was 20 years old, after a doctor diagnosed her with anemia and told her to consume two raw eggs and a cooked one each day.

For decades Americans have been told bacon and butter are bad for our health - as well as too many eggs. The reason? They are high in fat and cholesterol, which have been demonized for their apparent links to heart disease and weight gain. But a doctor from Georgia who ate the breakfast trio for 30 days straight claims they actually made him healthier. Dr Sten Ekberg saw his bodyweight and body fat go down, as well as his levels of insulin, glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol and indicators of liver damage. Ekberg, a registered nutritionist, regularly conducts diet-related experiments on himself....

The humble egg is one of those foods that pops up just about everywhere. An egg can be cooked in dozens, if not hundreds, of different preparations, and just like any other commodity, the price has really fluctuated over the years. Tracking down the retail price of a dozen Grade A eggs over the decades wasn't an easy task, as prices have varied from store to store over the years, and supermarkets haven't kept track of prices for decades on end. So in order to get an annual retail price that we could stand behind, we worked with the U.S....

Recent research suggests that eating fortified eggs regularly does not negatively impact cholesterol levels or heart health in high-risk individuals, challenging previous beliefs about the risks of egg consumption. ============================================================================================ Subgroup analyses suggest a potential advantage for older adults and individuals with diabetes. Whether you like your eggs sunny-side up, hard boiled or scrambled, many hesitate to eat them amid concerns that eggs may raise cholesterol levels and be bad for heart health. However, results from a prospective, controlled trial presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session show that over a four-month period cholesterol levels were similar...

A new study on egg consumption in healthy young adults finds that whole eggs increase beneficial nutrients without negatively impacting heart disease or diabetes markers. The research also highlights gender-specific dietary responses and sets the stage for future studies on personalized nutrition. New research broadens the understanding of the nutritional impact of egg consumption in young, healthy adults. Are eggs good for you? Scientists have been studying this divisive question for years. Some have found that egg intake increases LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, and inflammatory markers associated with heart disease and diabetes, while others have highlighted the benefits of egg...

A CRISPR-alternative has been used to create eggs that are unlikely to trigger allergic reactions. That’s a potentially big deal for millions of children who are allergic to eggs — not just for their diets but also for their immune systems. The challenge: Allergic reactions are caused by the immune system mistaking something usually benign, like peanuts or pollen, for a harmful invader. Depending on the severity of the allergy, this can lead to anything from a mild rash to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Eggs are a pretty common allergy, with up to 2% of children experiencing a reaction to them. Most...

Two studies reveal egg yolks mitigate the vaccine-induced spike protein. In the USA, several food processing plants and egg-laying facilities have mysteriously exploded or caught fire over the past year and farmers are saying chicken feed is stopping their hens from laying. Propagandists are blaming “bird flu” for the egg shortage and the subsequent soaring egg prices while at the same time nudging people to stop eating eggs. Is this all just a coincidence? Or is it an orchestrated war on natural foods to ensure Bill Gates makes a fortune out of his fake eggs and people only have access...

You know how there’s a massive egg shortage and egg farms keep burning down all over America? Eggs are now over $10 per dozen in many places. Meanwhile you keep asking yourself “Why is this happening, sure seems odd?” Well, we might have the answer to that, and conspiracy theorists be damned. Chicken Egg Yolk Antibodies block the binding of multiple SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Variants to human ACE2. We’re serious, and we’ve got the studies, links, and it’s all from our own National Institute of Health right here in America. Is that why eggs are disappearing at an alarming rate?...

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.

Researchers have shown how moderate egg consumption can increase the amount of heart-healthy metabolites in the blood. The findings suggest that eating up to one egg per day may help lower the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Eggs are a rich source of dietary cholesterol, but they also contain a variety of essential nutrients. There is conflicting evidence as to whether egg consumption is beneficial or harmful to heart health. A 2018 study published in the journal Heart, which included approximately half a million adults in China, found that those who ate eggs daily (about one egg per day) had...

DOUBLE YOLKS EXPLAINED Female chickens — hens — are born with two ovaries, just like humans. As the chick matures into an adult hen, her right ovary shrivels up, leaving her left ovary to handle the task of producing and releasing eggs. When we refer to the eggs that come from a hen’s ovaries, we aren’t talking about the shell and whites. We’re only talking about the round yellow part we know as “yolks.” The other stuff — what we know as a complete egg — comes later in the process.When it works as it should, the whole process is...

I've been eating about three eggs a day on average for decades now. My cholesterol profile is perfect (well under 200) and even though I approach my 60s (scary), I have never once had a prescription drug. People like to say "don't eat eggs or only eat egg whites or you will get too much cholesterol" but they are clueless. Your human body (and I presume only humans are reading this) will make far more cholesterol than you will get from eggs each day in the absence of dietary cholesterol. So you are better off eating your eggs. Now most...

As far as weight loss foods go, eggs are one of the best choices you can make. Of course, the most effective way to shed pounds in a healthy way is simply to cut down on the number of calories you're taking in per day, burn more calories through exercise, or ideally, do a combination of both. But here's the thing: eggs can help in this regard because they're ultra-satiating—which means after you eat them, you'll be less likely to overdo it on the snacking between meals (thus helping you to save calories). Eggs are incredibly versatile—you can enjoy them...

Given all of the well-known benefits to eating eggs—which range from boosting your immune system to helping you lose weight to improving your cognitive health—you may have wondered if it's possible to eat too many of them. After all, with 6 grams of protein, 5 grams of healthy fat, and lots of vitamins, the humble egg is among the most nutritious foods on the planet. But according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of South Australia, Qatar University, and the China Medical University, the answer is most certainly yes—and the results will surprise you. Read on for...

In the late 70's there was a war waged by US govt. officials(experts) against the traditional American breakfast(bacon & eggs).

Police said that Yadav had accompanied his friend to the Bibiganj market area to eat eggs but suddenly an argument broke out between the two and they decided on a challenge of Rs2,000 for eating 50 eggs. Subhash accepted the bet and began eating eggs. He ate 41 eggs and just when he started eating the 42nd egg, he collapsed and fell unconscious. He died hours later.

Why Real Feminists Should Stop Eating Eggs Written by Michelle Kretzer | December 3, 2018 The human egg is tiny, undetectable to the human eye—and yet it’s a powerful, life-giving force that is still polarizing nations. Such an innocuous little ovum, yet it holds such an immense power to divide—and to divide people. As the battle for control over women’s fertility and reproductive rights wages on, feminists are rising up against abuse and exploitation. So what does it mean, then, when women take another female’s eggs from her without a thought and readily pay money for her eggs, knowing that...

This is extraordinary moment a farmer cracked up a huge egg to find another hidden inside. The egg the size of an adult hand was found at a family farm at Kairi, 82 kilometres south-west of Cairns, northern Queensland. Stockman's Eggs owner Scott Stockman told Daily Mail Australia their free range egg collector 'Zippy' made the mind-boggling discovery.

But the universe of wild bird eggs is far weirder and more diverse than the oval products on the supermarket shelf. Hummingbirds lay eggs shaped like Tic Tac mints - "perfect little ellipses," per ornithologist and evolutionary biologist Mary Stoddard. Sandpiper eggs come to peaks, in the manner of teardrops. Owls plop out tight spheres not unlike ping-pong balls ... scientists linked egg shapes to birds' flight behavior. Stronger fliers, such as swallows, had elongated or pointy eggs. Birds that couldn't fly so far or fast had rounder, more symmetric ones... Aristotle, said Douglas G.D. Russell, curator of the egg...
