How An Egg Can Kill You

Some of us are actually old enough to remember those old ads on tv that used to promote eggs and the consumption of eggs years ago. The jingle used to go ..."the incredible edible egg." The part that they were leaving out was the part about how much cholesterol one little egg contains. Did you know that just one egg has about 80% of the total amount of cholesterol that you can safely consume in one day? Based on recommended daily allowances that's it, just one egg and you are already at the limit just about. So imagine how many two eggs or three eggs will do you. It is one of the biggest and fastest ways to clog your arteries that is out there. Some doctors say that if you have been eating eggs since you were a child that by the time you are middle aged you should be worried about consequences. The chickens coming home to roost so to speak. The way i found out about it is that i was preparing myself some eggs to scramble and make some sandwiches with and as i was scrambling the eggs in the pan i finally took the time to glance at the nutrition label that was on the inside of the egg container. When it got to the cholesterol listing and it stated that it was 80% for just one egg i just stopped dead in my tracks because i was planning to have at least a half dozen of them in just one sitting and the rest on the following day. When i read it i got scared. I thought to myself that i cant keep doing that to myself or i will be dead way before i should be. I never ate eggs on a regular basis anyway but i have to admit i had no idea there was that much gunk in just one egg because eggs have always been promoted as kind of a healthy choice. I didnt eat the eggs i was scrambling on that day over a year ago. I have not touched an egg since. They are just off the list now. They have to be. They are too dangerous.
