Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I eat eggs almost every moring for breakfast, and my cholestoral is 177, which is good? I think eggs affect some people's cholestoral but not others'. Laura-Marie --- david* <hempprince wrote: > > > I know a bee keeper who sells fresh honey at our > outdoor > farmers market.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 If you are eating commercial eggs, you may be eating the eggs of creatures injected with antibotics, beaks removed, and stored in tight cages. I am not sure how things have changed since Paul McCartney has spoken up about farm animals but I have heard that chickens are given fed with other chickens ground up. I have been on a farm in Switzerland where the chickens are free-range and there is a real difference. When i was younger, i could eat anything without affecting my cholestrol although the Army found that most of their soldiers had high cholestrol when feeding them eggs every morning during the Viet Nam War. Balance is very important and i think that eating the same thing every morning isn't a good idea. Eggs are not necessary for a healthy diet but it takes some thought when replacing nutrients. I use expeller-pressed oils, miso, grains [whole rice, etc], lentils, seeds, seaweed, beans [or tempe and tofu], fresh fruit and veggies [pref. organic], along with herbs, nutritional yeast, etc. I am in much better shape than 20 yrs ago and people are surprised if they find out my age. I do think that attitude and laughter will make up for an imbalanced diet but eating well is important too.
