“We can see a thousand miracles around us every day.  What is more supernatural than an egg yolk turning into a chicken?”  S. Parkes Cadman

How familiar are you with the real truth about eating EGGS?

Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the white of an egg?  (Job 6:6; NIV)

I know I’ve written about the health benefits of eating eggs before.  However, a recent conversation with a friend prompted me to address this issue once again.  The friend actually said that they ate “Eggs Beaters”, thinking that was a good thing.  I flinched and began my discourse on why eating whole eggs is good for us and that they don’t cause high cholesterol levels.  As Dr. Diana Schwarzbein says in her book, The Schwarzbein Principle; The Truth About Losing Weight, Being Healthy and Feeling Younger, “You can eat eggs every day, as many as your body wants.”  How’s that for a show stopper?

Dr. Joseph Mercola says that “most people generally don’t eat enough protein, and organic free-range eggs are one of your best sources. Remember, you can easily eat one dozen eggs per week, as they will NOT cause your cholesterol to increase.”  Eggs are one of the highest quality sources of protein along with being a very good source of iodine, a necessary nutrient for healthy thyroid function.  Eggs yolks contain lutein, an important nutrient for eye health.

Today’s link is from The Weston A Price foundation.  It’s an excellent article (pun intended) on “Good Egg, Bad Egg, How to Know?”  It gives some good tips for purchasing eggs.  Dr. Mercola also offers articles on his site about what eggs are the best ones to buy.  Use eggs for your healthy holiday baking and enjoy some homemade eggnog!

Prayer Power
Father, we are so grateful to You for all of Your wonderful creations.  We thank You for creating chickens and eggs…which ever came first.
