There Is No War Between Eggs & Cholesterol..
With all the scientific advancement we have achieved until now, I think that medically we have missed the boat completely.
Since Big Pharma started to control the medical Associations and donating to medical schools, becoming a traditional doctor today is really missing the mark if healing is the objective.
And it seems that our young doctors emerging from medical school are more ingrained in Pharma talk than a doctor of even 10 years ago.
All this to say that revisiting healing techniques, ideas and even past research is not given any more credence, especially if anything has been condemned and criticized by mainstream medicine.
Take for example the egg and cholesterol issue. Research for the last 50 years has proven that nothing could be further from the truth.
Eggs are a great source of many nutrients such as lecithin, EFA, zinc, vitamin A, B, lutein and more.
Now we’re talking here about moderation as in all things. But according to doctors even today, eating eggs raises cholesterol and we are told not to eat them.
Actually high cholesterol isn’t the real problem anyway for most people with heart disease.
Remember when margarine appeared on the market? There was heavy advertising putting butter down and extolling margarine’s benefits of being a polyunsaturated.
Some people still believe this although the research leaves no doubt that the higher consumption of omega-6 fatty acids increases inflammation, pain, joint problems and even heart disease.
You will not hear it in the news, but you will hear how the benefits of antioxidants use is being questioned and that it can actually speed up the development of cancer rather than help prevent it.
As usual, the media likes to focus on negative issues and whether it’s true or not, having the pharmaceutical industry backing is more important for survival than people’s lives.
This particular study focused on cancer patients who took either beta-carotene or vitamin E and it was reported that they were 40% more likely to suffer a recurrence of their cancer compared to those not taking the supplements.
What you won’t hear about, however, is that the same researcher re-examined the original data and found that it was wrong.
It seems that the only people who had a return of cancer were smokers who did not want to quit while undergoing radiation and chemo.
This won’t be the last time pharmaceutical interest will continue to downplay the safety and effectiveness of supplements. It seems that’s it up to us to stay vigilant, keeping our eyes and ears open for the truth because I’m sure this is not the last time you will hear of misinterpreted or false studies being passed as truth.
I am always on my guard when it comes to media sources and usually if I believe the opposite of what is being passed as truth, I will be much closer to the real truth in the end.
