Dr. Nick Norwitz breaks down seven egg facts: dietary cholesterol triggers a hormone that keeps blood cholesterol stable, four eggs meet your daily choline needs, and eggs have perfect protein bioavailability. He also explains how lemon juice in scrambled eggs reduces harmful compounds, and claims an ostrich egg could support Dwayne Johnson's weight.
I'm an MD PhD scientist and egg-thusiast, and here are 7 things you need to know about eggs. Oh, and you're really not gonna expect number 7. Let's go. 1. Eggs don't tend to increase cholesterol because when you eat cholesterol, it triggers the release of a hormone called cholecin that then goes to your liver and tunes down the body's own production of cholesterol, helping keep your serum cholesterol levels at a steady balance. That's why I famously could eat 720 eggs in a month without increasing my cholesterol. Okay, 2. Eggs are rich in choline. Which is important for brain health, muscle health, and liver health. 4 eggs will fill your daily requirement for choline. Okay, 3: eggs have a great protein bioavailability score, actually a perfect PDCASS score of 1.0 versus only 0.52 for peanuts or 0.34 for scarab beetles if you're into that. Okay, 4: eggshell doesn't matter for nutritional value. 5: adding a dash of lemon juice to your scrambled eggs before you cook them can help reduce the formation of harmful advanced and products. 6, ostrich eggs can hold up to 253 pounds horizontally, which means Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson should be able to stand on an ostrich egg without breaking it. Somebody get Dwayne to do that, I want to see it. And finally, 7.
Hey, what's going on, man? This is your boy Akon. Just wanted to give a big shout out to my man Dr. Nick Norwitz, you know I'm saying? Alright, man, listen, just want to say it's a great job you out there doing, you know I'm saying? Everybody know how much I love music, but They don't know how much I love eggs though. I don't wake up in the morning without making me a nice, nice, you know, plate of scrambled eggs, man. So definitely, man, you might want to try the same to get your day going right. You feel me?
