Introduction: Recently, experts from the medical school of the national Mediterranean University in Turkey said that the unsaturated fatty acids in eggs can reduce cholesterol, so one egg a day for high cholesterol patients can help reduce cholesterol In a paper published by nutritionists at Kansas State University, it was first confirmed that lecithin in eggs can inhibit cholesterol absorption For people with cardiovascular disease, an egg is like a bomb Because cholesterol in eggs has always been a concern of doctors, especially the yolk So for some people, the meaning of egg is egg white, eating egg is eating egg white Over the years, eggs have been shrouded in the shadow of cholesterol, leaving many people at a distance Recently, however, a wave of anti egg movement has swept up rapidly In April this year, reference news introduced the new findings of aisai, head of the Department of Cardiology of the medical school of the national Mediterranean University in Turkey Now medicine has shown that unsaturated fatty acids in eggs can lower cholesterol, he said, so eating one egg a day for high cholesterol patients can actually help lower cholesterol In a paper published by nutritionists at Kansas State University, it is the first time that lecithin in eggs can inhibit cholesterol absorption So is this statement accurate? How do our domestic experts face this problem? Li Changping, a nutritionist in charge of the Nutrition Department of the Beijing Hospital of the Ministry of health, believes that lecithin and unsaturated fatty acids in eggs have the effect of inhibiting and reducing cholesterol, but their main role is to reduce the high cholesterol in eggs, so that the consumption of eggs will not cause the rise of human cholesterol, but it is not reliable to say that they can reduce human cholesterol Li Changping introduced that people with normal cholesterol content can eat 1-2 eggs a day, which is more difficult to digest and will increase the burden on the liver and kidney But for the patients with high cholesterol, high blood fat, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease and so on, an egg a day will not cause the rise of cholesterol Dr Li Changping pointed out in particular that it is unreasonable to eat only egg white As long as the consumption is controlled, it is better to eat the whole egg Hong Zhaoguang, a famous cardiologist and professor of Beijing Anzhen Hospital, also agreed that lecithin in eggs can inhibit cholesterol absorption Professor Hong believes that people who are healthy and have a normal cholesterol content don't need to worry about raising their cholesterol content if they eat an egg every two days However, people who have a high cholesterol should be cautious about eggs Dr Li Changping also introduced some problems that should be paid attention to when eating eggs Old people had better eat boiled eggs, which are easy to digest It's better not to eat sugar heart eggs or raw eggs Eggs that are not cooked contain trypsin and enzyme protein, which affect the absorption of protein by human body However, some bacteria in eggs can only be destroyed by high temperature Eating such eggs is easy to cause diarrhea or poisoning Based on the opinions of the two experts, we can preliminarily conclude that as long as we eat reasonably, we don't need to worry about increasing the cholesterol content of the body by eating eggs However, the reporter also learned from the Institute of nutrition and food hygiene of the Chinese Academy of preventive medicine that whether the lecithin and unsaturated fatty acids in eggs can inhibit the absorption of cholesterol is still uncertain Zheng Tao, director of the science and Technology Department of the Institute, said that the Institute has analyzed the composition of eggs, but has not analyzed whether or not these components interact with each other (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
