Egg yolks raised on pasture have orange egg yolks, you rarely see that in grocery store eggs! When we were in Scotland the food was so much healhier. Beautiful orange yolks, all pasture raise meats! Food was cheaper too. American food is factory farmed crap.
When I was in primary school in the early 60's, my parents esp my Dad is very strict we should have a proper breakfast before we leave for school (there were no roti canai nor nasi lemak those days). My bunch of sisters hate eggs, they wait for Dad to leave & skip their eyes. Good for me, I will have their shares as well. From those early days till now, I have my 2 half boiled eggs without fail ..... am gonna be 75 soon. To me eggs are the best source for healthy proteins !
I am amazed! I never saw Red-yellow egg yolk. I never knew all the health aspects. I stopped eating eggs regularly because of my misunderstanding of cholesterol risk, and I didn’t know that healthy eggs do not need to be refrigerated. I have no problem with paying more money for healthy eggs. Now I know what to look for. Thank you once again, Dr. Li!
The difference is not if they are healthy or not for refrigeration. You can leave any egg out of the refrigerator for some time and they will keep for a bit. If they are from a Farm and unwashed they will keep far longer. I test mine before eating. If they float in water they're no good.
My grandmother raised chickens and sold eggs in the 1940s & 50s. She didn't feed them because they naturally ate bugs and produce scraps. She never refrigerated the eggs. The hens keep them warm when they nest so they don't need to be cold. She only washed the shells prior to cooking them. Washing them is what makes it necessary to refrigerate them. Great video! ❤
@@waynewang8904 I said that they did not feed them, not that the chickens didn’t eat. They were roaming free on a farm and only came into the coop at night (unless they were nesting). They had fruit and vegetable scraps, seeds, leafy green plants, grasses, worms, and bugs to eat. They ate what birds naturally eat, but were not deliberately fed commercial “feed “. I know many people in my area that do not feed their chickens and they are much healthier than those in factory farms. You might want to try pasture raised eggs since that’s often the closest to natural that you can buy in a grocery store. 😊
@@waynewang8904 Wow, what’s wrong with you to be so quick to call someone a liar? How about asking for clarifications or more information? I thought she provided useful and on- target information. My grandparents had a family farm on the Iowa and Minnesota border. I visited there a couple times when I was little. I remember the chicken coop and hens and rooster walking about and watching them feed the chickens, pigs, and walking their dairy cows out to the pasture every morning and back again at night. If it was a super cold day I was told the littlest baby pigs got to come inside to stay warm in the room off the kitchen. They cared about all the animals in their farm. A different day for the most part, now. That’s why I hate to contribute to the cruelty and why I am vegetarian.
But this video missed the down side of egg: cancer risk, many other issues. There is no perfect food. All choose their own cherry-picking for their ideas. Okinawan centenarians only eat about 1 egg every three months. Evidence based medicine is better than pure theoretical analysis (easily wrong conclusion with pure subjective reasoning).
Butter (or even better, ghee) is healthy too. 8-/ PS: Even better is organic, grass-fed ghee, which is what I cook with when eating animal products, partly because it's high temperature tolerant. I do add organic extra virgin olive oil to other foods.
The color of the yolk does depend on what they eat, but pasture raised may not be that dark orange color. It depends on the pasture. And...whether pasture raised or in a factory, you can put things in the feed to get a dark color - which may or may not indicate carotenoids.. Get to know your chickens :)
Thank you for defending the humble, wonderful egg. I have two eggs every morning with sourdough toast and 15 g of baby spinach. This breakfast starts the fat burning process in my diet plan. I lost 8 kg since last Christmas. Thank you, Doctor !

Our bodies are not the same, some foods give you an indication that they fo go well with your body. Sometimes it’s important to just listen to what your body tells you, and not use all info like a blanket for all.
We Euros do not remove the cuticle from the egg and we vaccinate our chickens against salmonella. In Germany you have to go out of your way to even find non pasture raised eggs. Caged "battery" chicken are illegal. There are some that are just "free range" without specifying pasture but those all go to the fast food industry and large scale industrial processors.
i do not think this is true. as a german we complain about bad conditions. and caged and non caged usually are the same despite a few cm more space and somewhere a hatch. if you have a hall with 10.000 chickens and one tiny hatch to the outside they are called free range... despite never have seen the sun light. german industry is pretty strong in fooling and shitting customers in the face. do not believe those stories.

Eggs are tasty, too, I always get pasture raised when I run of eggs from my daughters chick's that are pasture raised. Also, I leave those out until washed off . Thank you Doc. for this video 🎉
Nice video! I love and pay the extra for pasture raised 0:03 eggs. They are certainly worth it! My favorite brand is ‘Vital Farms’ raised on family run farms. I cook my pasture raised eggs in pasture raised dairy butter. The flavor and nutrition cannot be beat. I do not cook with olive oil, I put it on my salads. 😋
I’ve bought eggs from Rosy’s Organics in South Carolina and her chicken were just beautiful! Seeing is believing. She is what we need more of in this world!!!♥️
This is so true...I have been eating eggs 2 to 3 a day and my Lipid profiles are perfectly fine! As long as you do not mix it with high saturated fat foods, you will have great benefits from eating eggs everyday.
Long ago when I was younger I ate daily a lot of eggs with butter mostly with bacon and my cholesterol was perfect. These days I had to limit greatly these foods to keep my lipids on healthy side
Hm, I have read that saturated fat is better than poly-unsaturated fat because it does not break down as easily into harmful free radicals. Btw, I generally use lard to cook my eggs, has a higher burn point than butter, so fewer advanced glycation end products. I also would like clarification on the difference between butter from organic free-range non-CAFO cattle vs. cattle raised with chemicals and glyphosate-impregnated soy and grain.
Thanks for the intel much appreciated. One thing I read was that the food industry can alter the colour of egg yolks and so it’s no longer a reliable indication of a good egg.

Hi Dr. Li, I hope you and your family are doing well 🙏.I just watched your video on foods good for your liver!! I'm a vegan and ear all the foods except the olive oil. I am 71, in great health thank G-d but after my Covid shots I got very sick and developed Rosacea. I am fine now and trying to see what my triggers are.

Sorry this is so long but I love and respect you. I listen to Dean Ornish, The Estulin's Dr. Gregor. I'm living my life in such a healthy way and I'm grateful for doctors like you that want to educate🎉❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤😊😊😊😊
Hey Dr., great info. Regarding egg yolk color it seems some farmers now use additives to "dye" their yolks to meet the demand of people wanting orange yolk eggs. Looking online I have found that paprika, marigold petals, chili flakes, and alfalfa feed as some of the popular additives. Also, I have read that many of the bigger feed mills automatically have started putting these additives to change the yolk color. Just fyi.
I heard one published study said that the increase in TMAO because of egg consumptions due to the conversion of Choline in the gut by some bad bacteria. But there is another study seemed to contradict with that assertion by stating that increasing eggs consumptions did not result in a correlated increase in TMAO.
Several decades ago I read that scrambling eggs was the worst way to eat them due to greater oxidation of the cholesterol, so I always poach my eggs. By scrambling the eggs we introduce more heat and oxygen into the yolk which tends to produce higher levels of oxycholesterol. Have you also heard anything along those lines?
Also note that caffeine potentiates the choline in eggs, making it more nutrient available. People have been drinking coffee and tea with eggs long before we knew what choline was. How cool is that? Healthy cravings are your body requesting what it needs.
I learned that in order to keep all the nutrients from the eggs that we cook, we need to keep the yolk intact. So, boil the eggs is the best way to keep the nutrients. Scramble eggs diminishes the nutrients because we break the yolk.
That's not true - scrambling eggs causes a decrease in B vitamins and selenium, but keeps more healthy fats, vitamin D, and vitamin K than if they're boiled. A fried egg may be best
@@audreyfischer8662 some people even eat raw eggs in smoothies after working out. I only eat cooked eggs. Sunnyside egg is ok, can you make the eggs cooked all the way? I do not know what to answer you.
When I was a nurse in the 70's /90's I noticed the patients that ate farm fresh eggs had the BEST cholesterol levels of anyone. I raise chickens free range and share my eggs with neighbors and food bank
You don't have to keep any eggs in the fridge, I have been doing it for years and zero problems. But I also eat 15 plus per week, so they dont last very long. If you need really good eggs from a gorcery in the USSA, Sprouts has good ones.
EVOO should never be heated, so no cooking, but excellent at room temperature. Also note that even organic eggs don't come from the nest as clean as you find them in the market. They always have little bits of feather, or whatever was in the nest, on them. So the seller wipes them. Even so, they will keep well outside the fridge, as long as it is in a cool spot. As a child in the Fifties I used to fetch the eggs from the nests in our yard, so I know. In South Africa eggs in supermarkets are kept outside the fridge, but of course there is air-condintioning to keep the store cool.
We still have horrible studies that don’t regard other risk co-factors or interpret with sufficient clinical knowledge. We just had this total confusion in the xylitol world - and also in some mouthwash studies that have scared everyone in 2024. Why don’t scientists doing studies talk with clinicians to see if their hypothesis is missing something?
I was surprised to see eggs on the shelf in 7-11's in Thailand and Cambodia unrefrigerated... Had to look up and learned what the Dr. in this video explained.....thanks for the video
Thumbs up if you want him to make a video in which he comments on others who say eggs are really bad for you. Dr McDougal has a 1 hour presentation on why they are bad. There are documentaries saying they are all the same, that there is no reason to buy the expensive kinds like pasture raised.
There is nothing wrong with butter. These doctors always talk about gut health but omit the butyrate in butter that is excellent for gut health. While I like olive oil, it does not compare in comparison with butter when it comes to flavoring an egg.
I have been eating 2 eggs every day for months now since I found out all the benefits of them. Thank you Dr Li for this video and all the rest of your's I have been watching.❤
When I had chickens they would hide their eggs in nests. By the time we found them they may have been in the garden a week or more. The eggs were still fresh and good and never harmed us.
I enjoy your videos as I find the information based on your research fascinating. I trust the ones that you do directly as opposed to others which use your name but don't appear sincere. The question I have about eggs is how many can one eat in a week. I have high bad cholesterol and was told by my Dr that I could eat only 1 omega 3 egg a week. I usually buy large eggs because I like to bake with these, although they do sell small and medium. Does the size of the egg matter as to how many one should be eating per week? I find the information you provide very interesting and I am looking forward to reading your book! Thank you so much!
I like and eat eggs a lot. I’m South Aftican, some traditional families as I say some ( pls note, not all), don’t allow girls to eat eggs as to delay puberty. Believe you me this is to a certain extent true, as some females go on menstrual period a day or two after eating eggs 🤷🏽♀️.
There’s nothing wrong with bacon or butter doc ! My grandmother ate eggs cooked in lard and butter and ate bacon with it every single day ! Lived very long in excellent health ! 98 and she also ate bread and carbs daily ! She made it herself !
We have natural local eggs on our island, they are covered in a dried film, It looks gross but is easily washed if, I wash mine just before I crack them. They are orange not yellow!
Egg's are great. They are a food that has not had mineral level collapse as in almost the entire edible plant's catalogue. Black salt if taken before every drink well do more for your health than every other product.
It’s been five years now, I have two raw eggs which I have been told is not good, but never had an issue. Feel great and it save me time in making breakfast.. yes, feeling great.. I am 65 now.. my eyes are ok.. should I eat more???
The colour of an egg yolk can be manipulated depending on the feed.. a hard to crack egg (thicker shell) is a good indicator of higher quality. So get cracking!
Dr Li, some say extra virgin olive oil should not be heated. Would you please inform us about this? Is there a maximum temperature that we can heat it?
Heating olive oil will cause oxidation. Personally, I only use olive oil cold, and add it after cooking. As an alternative, use tallow or lard, which are much more stable, for cooking. Even so, avoid burning, as even saturated fat will eventually be damaged by heat.
I eat 2 eggs daily Since many years ago. Thank you for your information to the public. Im Gonna live 120 years so I started to focus on food to reach my goal. I'm just behind in exercising. 😅
Dr. William Li, please clarify to us older folks if these affirmations I read on a few websitess that, apparently, eggs can cause further damage to an enlarged prostate. 🙏
If the bloom is left on the eggs there are some simple ways to preserve them for a very long time also. There is a simple way to test if your eggs went bad and that is to put into water, and if they float to the top they're bad. Trace minerals in Eggs; Phosphorus: 91mg per medium-sized egg (179mg per 100g) Iodine: 25mcg per medium-sized egg (50mcg per 100g) Selenium: 12mcg per medium-sized egg (23mcg per 100g) Zinc: present in smaller amounts, but essential for eggshell and bone quality Copper: present in small amounts, contributing to eggshell and bone health Iron: primarily found in egg yolk, essential for healthy red blood cells Magnesium: present in small amounts, important for various bodily functions Manganese: present in small amounts, involved in bone health and metabolism Potassium: present in small amounts, essential for heart health and other bodily functions These trace minerals play crucial roles in various bodily functions, such as: Supporting bone health and eggshell formation Regulating metabolism and energy production Maintaining healthy red blood cells Acting as antioxidants to protect against cell damage Supporting immune function and overall health
I grew up living two doors down from the egg man who happened to live in a tiny trailer along with the chickens and 😢 eggs! We were always hanging out with him for just a short time as our mom would have us go to buy the eggs from him! Lol. Here's a new shocker for you Dr. As long as you don't touch the eggs definitely not cleaning them they would last two years at least cuz it happened once so he told us that.
A great video on eggs Dr William & you have answered all or alot of the questions I really want to know just got answered about cholesterol & it's health benefits & thank you Dr William & I am going to watch this specific RUclips video about eggs very soon & thank you for answering all my questions about eggs Dr William & Iove to eat the right kind of healthy eggs too Dr William too !

Hi Dr. Li, I hope you and your family are doing well 🙏.I just watched your video on foods good for your liver!! I'm a vegan and ear all the foods except the olive oil. I am 71, in great health thank G-d but after my Covid shots I got very sick and developed Rosacea. I am fine now and trying to see what my triggers are. I stopped the Ceylon cinnamon because of cinnamalaldehyde. and tomatoes. I don't want to use the creams with terrible side effects. I also was using EGCG ..When I listened to your video on inflammation I started drinking 5 cups of green and oolong tea with chamomile. I am improving. Thank you...Any suggestions? Sorry this is so long but I love and respect you. I listen to Dean Ornish, The Estulin's Dr. Gregor. I'm living my life in such a healthy way and I'm grateful for doctors like you that want to educate🎉❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤😊😊😊😊
Hey Dr., great info. Regarding egg yolk color it seems some farmers now use additives to "dye" their yolks to meet the demand of people wanting orange yolk eggs. Looking online I have found that paprika, marigold petals, chili flakes, and alfalfa feed as some of the popular additives. Also, I have read that many of the bigger feed mills automatically have started putting these additives to change the yolk color. Just fyi.
Thanks Dr Li for this very informative free information . I really appreciate all your posts 🙌🙏
I heard one published study said that the increase in TMAO because of egg consumptions due to the conversion of Choline in the gut by some bad bacteria. But there is another study seemed to contradict with that assertion by stating that increasing eggs consumptions did not result in a correlated increase in TMAO.
Eggs-cellent information! Thanks!
This is good information about eggs! The only question is how you know the good quality of them before cracking them and see the color?
Thank you, Dr. William Li, that was an interesting video on eggs.
I eat two eggs every morning for breakfast and have done so for best part of forty five years. Before that it was a bowl of cereal.
Several decades ago I read that scrambling eggs was the worst way to eat them due to greater oxidation of the cholesterol, so I always poach my eggs. By scrambling the eggs we introduce more heat and oxygen into the yolk which tends to produce higher levels of oxycholesterol. Have you also heard anything along those lines?
I always have 2 half boil eggs on alternate days now I can have it everyday. Thanks Dr Li
Also note that caffeine potentiates the choline in eggs, making it more nutrient available. People have been drinking coffee and tea with eggs long before we knew what choline was. How cool is that? Healthy cravings are your body requesting what it needs.
I'm going to change my egg buying habits. Thanks.
Thank you. That help me lower my blood sugar levels too. I ate better. Greens and eggs abd lost waistline.😊
I learned that in order to keep all the nutrients from the eggs that we cook, we need to keep the yolk intact. So, boil the eggs is the best way to keep the nutrients. Scramble eggs diminishes the nutrients because we break the yolk.
That's not true - scrambling eggs causes a decrease in B vitamins and selenium, but keeps more healthy fats, vitamin D, and vitamin K than if they're boiled. A fried egg may be best
What about sunny-side up 🍳?
I heard you shouldn’t eat uncooked eggs.
@@audreyfischer8662 some people even eat raw eggs in smoothies after working out. I only eat cooked eggs. Sunnyside egg is ok, can you make the eggs cooked all the way? I do not know what to answer you.
Steamed eggs 9 minutes for soft 10 minutes or 11 for hard use your veggies steamer not as harsh as boiling
Again a great video filled with super info. Thank you❤
When I was a nurse in the 70's /90's I noticed the patients that ate farm fresh eggs had the BEST cholesterol levels of anyone. I raise chickens free range and share my eggs with neighbors and food bank
You don't have to keep any eggs in the fridge, I have been doing it for years and zero problems. But I also eat 15 plus per week, so they dont last very long. If you need really good eggs from a gorcery in the USSA, Sprouts has good ones.
I feed my hens organic layer feed and also lots of fresh herbs from my garden 🐔
Are the hens supposed to eat worms and bugs?
EVOO should never be heated, so no cooking, but excellent at room temperature. Also note that even organic eggs don't come from the nest as clean as you find them in the market. They always have little bits of feather, or whatever was in the nest, on them. So the seller wipes them. Even so, they will keep well outside the fridge, as long as it is in a cool spot. As a child in the Fifties I used to fetch the eggs from the nests in our yard, so I know. In South Africa eggs in supermarkets are kept outside the fridge, but of course there is air-condintioning to keep the store cool.
We still have horrible studies that don’t regard other risk co-factors or interpret with sufficient clinical knowledge.
We just had this total confusion in the xylitol world - and also in some mouthwash studies that have scared everyone in 2024.
Why don’t scientists doing studies talk with clinicians to see if their hypothesis is missing something?
You are brilliant. And your vivid adjective laden description of factory eggs has convinced me to spend money on better quality eggs.
I ate 40K eggs ( approximately) beginning from 2009 and my HDL is around 80, triglycerides 50.. i eat 5 to 10 eggs a day with plenty of butter..
I was surprised to see eggs on the shelf in 7-11's in Thailand and Cambodia unrefrigerated... Had to look up and learned what the Dr. in this video explained.....thanks for the video
Thanks Dr. LI very informative
Thumbs up if you want him to make a video in which he comments on others who say eggs are really bad for you. Dr McDougal has a 1 hour presentation on why they are bad. There are documentaries saying they are all the same, that there is no reason to buy the expensive kinds like pasture raised.
There is nothing wrong with butter. These doctors always talk about gut health but omit the butyrate in butter that is excellent for gut health. While I like olive oil, it does not compare in comparison with butter when it comes to flavoring an egg.
And is a medium chain trans fatty accid. 👍🏻
Not much butyrate in butter - Plus 100% grass fed dairy of any kind is far superior.
most high saturated fat sources are associated with high LDL. Something thats been proven by thousands of studies.
eggs don't have that much so its typically fine for me
I have been eating 2 eggs every day for months now since I found out all the benefits of them. Thank you Dr Li for this video and all the rest of your's I have been watching.❤
Good information and explanation of differences between farm and factory egg.
Thanks Doc.
Great info and big AHA moment to me too! Thank you for great information and always the latest research studies on topic. ❤❤❤
When I had chickens they would hide their eggs in nests. By the time we found them they may have been in the garden a week or more. The eggs were still fresh and good and never harmed us.
Since I live in a house with a garden , I have the opportunity to raise chickens .They give me fresh eggs every day.🐔🐓🥚🥚😊
Thank you Dr Lee. Can you talk about coconut milk? My friends said coconut milk has bad cholesterol.
Thank you so much Dr. William Li 😊
Egg yolk contain a rich source of lecithin which has been shown in some small studies to reduce cholesterol
Thank you for sharing you knowledge and paying it forward. 😊
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for all the tips
can you do video on your own supplements and medications (repurposed included)? Thanks!
Thank you for answering question of refuge ration of eggs
I enjoy your videos as I find the information based on your research fascinating. I trust the ones that you do directly as opposed to others which use your name but don't appear sincere.
The question I have about eggs is how many can one eat in a week. I have high bad cholesterol and was told by my Dr that I could eat only 1 omega 3 egg a week. I usually buy large eggs because I like to bake with these, although they do sell small and medium. Does the size of the egg matter as to how many one should be eating per week?
I find the information you provide very interesting and I am looking forward to reading your book! Thank you so much!
Thank you! I was diagnosed with MD but eating eggs n dark greens so far so good
I like and eat eggs a lot. I’m South Aftican, some traditional families as I say some ( pls note, not all), don’t allow girls to eat eggs as to delay puberty. Believe you me this is to a certain extent true, as some females go on menstrual period a day or two after eating eggs 🤷🏽♀️.
There’s nothing wrong with bacon or butter doc ! My grandmother ate eggs cooked in lard and butter and ate bacon with it every single day ! Lived very long in excellent health ! 98 and she also ate bread and carbs daily ! She made it herself !
We have natural local eggs on our island, they are covered in a dried film, It looks gross but is easily washed if, I wash mine just before I crack them. They are orange not yellow!
Egg's are great. They are a food that has not had mineral level collapse as in almost the entire edible plant's catalogue. Black salt if taken before every drink well do more for your health than every other product.
It’s been five years now, I have two raw eggs which I have been told is not good, but never had an issue. Feel great and it save me time in making breakfast.. yes, feeling great.. I am 65 now.. my eyes are ok.. should I eat more???
The colour of an egg yolk can be manipulated depending on the feed.. a hard to crack egg (thicker shell) is a good indicator of higher quality. So get cracking!
Dr Li, some say extra virgin olive oil should not be heated. Would you please inform us about this? Is there a maximum temperature that we can heat it?
Heating olive oil will cause oxidation. Personally, I only use olive oil cold, and add it after cooking.
As an alternative, use tallow or lard, which are much more stable, for cooking. Even so, avoid burning, as even saturated fat will eventually be damaged by heat.
Use organic coconut oil for cooking.
Tank you, Dr Li!
I eat 2 eggs daily
Since many years ago. Thank you for your information to the public. Im
Gonna live 120 years so I started to focus on food to reach my goal. I'm just behind in exercising. 😅
2 eggs in a spoon of olive oil, a handful of spinach. Adding some turkey bacon as well.
Dr. William Li, please clarify to us older folks if these affirmations I read on a few websitess that, apparently, eggs can cause further damage to an enlarged prostate. 🙏
If the bloom is left on the eggs there are some simple ways to preserve them for a very long time also. There is a simple way to test if your eggs went bad and that is to put into water, and if they float to the top they're bad.
Trace minerals in Eggs;
Phosphorus: 91mg per medium-sized egg (179mg per 100g)
Iodine: 25mcg per medium-sized egg (50mcg per 100g)
Selenium: 12mcg per medium-sized egg (23mcg per 100g)
Zinc: present in smaller amounts, but essential for eggshell and bone quality
Copper: present in small amounts, contributing to eggshell and bone health
Iron: primarily found in egg yolk, essential for healthy red blood cells
Magnesium: present in small amounts, important for various bodily functions
Manganese: present in small amounts, involved in bone health and metabolism
Potassium: present in small amounts, essential for heart health and other bodily functions
These trace minerals play crucial roles in various bodily functions, such as:
Supporting bone health and eggshell formation
Regulating metabolism and energy production
Maintaining healthy red blood cells
Acting as antioxidants to protect against cell damage
Supporting immune function and overall health
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊
I grew up living two doors down from the egg man who happened to live in a tiny trailer along with the chickens and 😢 eggs! We were always hanging out with him for just a short time as our mom would have us go to buy the eggs from him! Lol. Here's a new shocker for you Dr. As long as you don't touch the eggs definitely not cleaning them they would last two years at least cuz it happened once so he told us that.
Doctor, have you seen the Cleveland Clinic study linking egg consumption with prostate cancer?
TEACH!
Hi Dr. Li, Thank you for info! What about those with an autoimmune disease. Should they eat eggs (especially egg whites) that may cause issues?
Certainly not, unless you want to take the risk of getting prostate cancer.
I eat a scrambled egg per day. I love eggs to start my day.
I love that too.
Eggs + Frank's Hot Sauce for the win.
In Mexico, in Baja, eggs are never refrigerated. Never have gotten ill.
5:37 - no such thing as bad cholesterol. LDL isn't bad for us either.
Awesome info video enjoy my healthy eggs thanks for sharing
Thanks for the info 😊

I found your discussion of the studies on egg eating confusing. You mentioned 3 groups eating different amounts of eggs. Was there a difference in the results? Also, if you’re going to reference a study, please provide a link to the study if it’s publicly available.
