Stop Eating THIS Nutrient Dense Food Because It’s Bad For Your Health

One of the craziest things going on with social media right now is a bunch of people telling you to avoid eating literally any food because it’s bad for you.

-Meat -Eggs -Grains -Oats -Fruits -Veggies -Dairy

And of course fatty foods are bad and make you fat, right?

That leaves us with ice soup for dinner, but also water is bad and is making the frogs…

Anyway…

One of the most controversial foods is eggs

Because one half the internet thinks it’s the best thing you can possibly eat…

-High quality amino acid profile aka protein -Decent amount of EPA and DHA omega 3 fatty acids which are hard to get from most foods -Lots of bioavailable nutrients when cooked -Highly versatile -Easy to cook -Easy to eat

And the list goes on…

Then you have the other half of the internet thinking this:

Egg consumption is taking years off of your life

-Worse than smoking cigarettes -High cholesterol content makes it bad -Causes increased risk of heart disease -Smells bad

But here’s the thing:

I haven’t seen one good case for eggs being bad, because all the main reasons are easily refuted with a bit of research.

I’m not a scientist or a doctor and what I’m about to say is not meant to be medical advice, but allegedly:

-No one in their right mind actually thinks eating protein and omega 3s is worse than inhaling heavy metals, ammonia, arsenic, and thousands of other chemicals from over-processed and possibly rancid tobacco.

-Your body makes cholesterol in accordance to how much you consume, so if you’re regularly eating high cholesterol foods, your body will make less as a result to balance things out.

-The claim that eating eggs increases risk of heart disease is proven true, but the main study that correlates this is in patients who have diabetes.

(**02/03/2024 Update: A reader brought to my attention the above outcome was not proven true, and upon further research I found the outcome suggesting the correlation was not found in future studies therefore not reliable, suggesting eggs have no consistent correlation with an increased risk of heart disease)

As for the smell?

Well that depends on how you’re cooking them, and if you’re here in the good ol’ USA and aren’t getting them directly out of pasture-raised chickens from a farm… then keep your eggs in the fridge.

You can probably see my bias by now, but that’s just been my experience with the whole egg debacle.

I’m not saying you have to eat eggs by any means

There are plenty of other ways to get the same nutrients…

My point is to come to your own conclusions instead of blindly following some social media account spurting sensational content.

That said, if you need help navigating the chaotic world of fitness so you can build a body you can be proud of while avoiding the nonsense…
