The Unhealthiest Way to Cook Your EGGS! Dr. Mandell

welcome I have a lot of great information to share with you about eggs and I'm not here in any way to tell you you should eat them or not eat them but I'm here to tell you the facts on ways that you can get the maximum effective assimilation from eggs depending upon how you cook them meaning that there are better ways of getting more nutrition from eggs cooking it certain ways versus others but eggs there is no doubt is a superfood and eggs can do wonderful things for the body just two eggs contain 13 grams

of protein and we know that protein is important for building and maintaining muscle fighting infections and growing here in nails and eggs are one of the few Foods on the planet that have all nine essential amino acids and eggs include iron it helps carry oxygen to the cells vitamin A that maintains healthy skin and eye tissue vitamin D that strengthens bone and teeth vitamin E an antioxidant plays in maintaining good health and preventing disease vitamin B12 helps keep the body's nerve and blood cells healthy it has phate selenium which acts as a major antioxidant as

well as lutein and zanthin that helps maintain good vision and prevents age related eye diseases as well as choline that plays a strong role in brain development and function and there are many different ways on cooking eggs but there's one good thing about heat is that it will kill bacteria that potentially could be harmful to the body we can soft boil or even hard boil our eggs and cook it in their shells the longer we cook it the harder the yolk will get we can poach our eggs and cook it in slightly cooler water and

only cook it for two to 3 minutes we can fry our eggs and put them in a hot pan that contains another layer of cooking fat it may be Sunnys side up maybe sunny side down over easy or even both sides and we can actually bake our eggs as well in a hot oven we can scramble our eggs which are beaten in a bowl poured into a hot pan and stirred over a lower heat we can make omelets where the eggs are beaten and poured into a hot pan and then they're cooked slowly overheat until

they're solid as well as microwaving our eggs which there's a lot of controversy about that the best nutrition you're going to get from your eggs is when you cook it on a lower heat in less time if you're cooking your eggs at high temperatures the cholesterol in them can become ox iiz and it can produce compounds known as oxysterols and the studies show that the oxysterol compounds as well as the oxidized cholesterol cooked on a high heat for long periods of time is what potentially can lead to heart disease or cardiovascular problems but it's not

the egg it's more of the oxidation that's taking place that sets the body up for more potential problems and overall a healthy person can have eggs and eat eggs and still have low cholesterol where today there's no link between excessive dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol yes if you have underlying conditions like heart disease diabetes metabolic syndrome that may be a different issue but if your liver is producing normal cholesterol because it produces 80% of it on its own and we only take in 20% so therefore if you're taking in less cholesterol your liver should make

more and if you're taking in too much cholesterol your liver should produce less and there are many other people out there that eat raw eggs but an interesting study shows that you're only getting 51% of the protein drinking it raw as when it's heated up is able to assimilate up to 91% of protein of that egg and another interesting study shows about biotin if you're eating raw eggs you're not getting the biotin by heating it up you you are then assimilating more biotin which has a major effect on our hair our skin as well as

our nails so overall shorter and lower heat cooking methods cause less cholesterol oxidation and help retain most of the eggs nutrients and for this reason poached and boiled eggs either hardboiled or softboiled are the healthiest and another big thing is you don't add all that extra saturated fat that potentially can leave to more oxidation and the healthiest eggs will be your organic and pastured eggs I hope you enjoyed this video please share it with your friends and family and most important make it a great day I'm Dr Allan Mandel
