 Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs
also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk,
in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge
has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of
several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg
substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the
advantages of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One
disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative
to regular eggs is a new type of eggs, sometimes called “designer” eggs. These eggs are produced by
hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flaw, and rice bran. In spite
of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular
eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol
in humans.
Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to
back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationships between eggs and human cholesterol
levels have brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of eggs that is the main determinant
of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol
derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the
body’s production of blood cholesterol . Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake
of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not
help reduce the blood cholesterol level.
