The reason why many people avoid eggs is its cholesterol. For example, people with high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood fat feel as if they can't eat eggs any more. Although the cholesterol content of eggs is indeed relatively high, the intake and absorption of cholesterol in food are ≠! When we eat eggs containing 300mg of cholesterol, it doesn't mean that we absorb 300mg, but the result may be that it is not even110.
There is no clear data that eating eggs or eating more cholesterol will lead to hyperlipidemia, affect blood sugar, blood pressure and other problems. China's research on risk prediction of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease also pointed out that people who eat eggs in moderation have the lowest death toll and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk.
Ansekeys, a Swedish scientist, once did an experiment, giving volunteers 2000mg of cholesterol per day (equivalent to 15 eggs), but found that the cholesterol in the blood of the tester was almost motionless. Cholesterol is a magical ingredient. The more intake, the lower its absorption, and it will decrease logarithmically. The cholesterol eventually absorbed may be very small, so we can hardly worry that too much cholesterol intake will affect our total cholesterol.
Humans themselves also have the ability to regulate high cholesterol, and the body will further reduce synthesis and secretion if it absorbs more. 1999, a professor at Harvard University also mentioned in a medical journal that eating eggs has nothing to do with heart disease; In 20 13, British medical journals also suggested that the intake of eggs had nothing to do with heart disease in a survey of 3.08 million people.
And authoritative research has confirmed that people who eat eggs every day have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease 1 1%, ischemic heart disease 12% and hemorrhagic stroke 1/4. Eggs are rich in minerals, fat-soluble vitamins, high-quality protein, and lecithin beneficial to the heart. Eating eggs can be said to be beneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In hyperlipidemia, diabetes, heart disease and middle-aged and elderly people, taking 1~2 eggs a day will not increase the risk of any cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
The reason why our cholesterol will rise is actually not related to the cholesterol from food.
It may be caused by long-term unhealthy eating habits, unhealthy living habits or some genetic factors. For example, long-term intake of foods high in oil, fat and sugar, such as fried foods, also contains cholesterol, but it is not cholesterol that makes our blood lipids higher, which may be caused by excessive intake of trans fatty acids, saturated fatty acids and N6 unsaturated fatty acids. For example, animal viscera also contains high cholesterol. Excessive intake of animal viscera may cause hyperlipidemia, which may be due to the high oil and heme content in many animal viscera, which may lead to obesity and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, not the cholesterol problem.
There is also lard that everyone doesn't like. Cholesterol is also a lever, and they dare not eat it. In fact, lard is a good oil, and its ratio of unsaturated fatty acids N6 and N3 is more reasonable than that of vegetable oil. Proper consumption may be more beneficial to us, but eating too much lard will cause excessive calories, induce inflammation and obesity, which is the initial problem that causes the three highs. An unhealthy life can also lead to hypercholesterolemia, such as sitting for a long time and not exercising, which will increase our low-density lipoprotein and decrease our high-density lipoprotein and induce hyperlipidemia.
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is just a tool to increase the transport of cholesterol in the blood, while high density lipoprotein (HDL) is a tool to stabilize the amount of cholesterol in the blood. Therefore, if there is a deviation between the two, there will be a problem of hyperlipidemia. There is also obesity, which can also lead to the decline of high-density lipoprotein, and induce a variety of chronic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Type 2 diabetic patients are generally obese, and the problem of hyperlipidemia is related to obesity, not cholesterol intake from eggs.
