Guest guest Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 i have just been reading a newsletter by Dr mercola, all about good cholesterol. In it he says eggs are good but not in things like over cooked scrambled eggs, as he says this can turn the fats rancid. So if this was true could omelettes also do this to eggs. I dont see it can be right though. What do you think Bee? Dudley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for Mercola's Quote with arrow. ---------------------------------------------- Mercola's Article: Of course, as Americans cut out nutritious animal fats from their diets, they were left hungry. So they began eating more processed grains, more vegetable oils, and more high-fructose corn syrup, all of which are nutritional disasters. It is this latter type of diet that will eventually lead to increased inflammation, and therefore cholesterol, in your body. So don " t let anyone scare you away from saturated fat anymore. Chronic inflammation is actually caused by a laundry list of items such as: * Oxidized cholesterol (cholesterol that has gone rancid, such as that from overcooked, scrambled eggs) <--- MERCOLA'S QUOTE -------------------------------------------------- @@ Hi Dudley, Eggs or meats should not be overcooked, anyway , because it makes them lose moisture and packs the protein molecules closer together so they are harder to digest. The only way one needs to be concerned about rancidity, is if one cooks on high temperatures with oils with low smoking points which will cause them to become rancid .. i.e olive oil. Better to use coconut oil, lard, duck fat or other fats with a high smoking point to avoid issues of rancidity. Bee, will follow up on Mercola's article later on. Until then, take care Ed group moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
