Egg yolks are indeed full of cholesterol. Like most cholesterol-rich foods, they are jam-packed full of important nutrients, especially the fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids.

In fact, the slew of nutrients in an egg yolk is so comprehensive that a few a day would offer better insurance than a multi-vitamin. Most importantly, the yolk contains most of the nutrients in an egg.

Egg whites, on the other hand, contain far fewer nutrients. The only thing that could justify their consumption is their attachment to their companion yolk.

Not at the moment, but I’ll try and see what I can do when the next one rolls around.

I was wondering if there’s any way to download these podcasts? I would like to listen to them on my mp3 player while at work.

Thanks for the word on eggs. I always thought that was such a freakin’ waste to eat JUST the white in the egg. I’d rather not eat eggs at all in that case.

Props for letting me know bro, It’s been fixed. For some reason… during the audio compression the stupid software cut down the time to 8 mins.

As for cholesterol… oh comon now, that shit is a major myth. It was proven in the 50′s that the amount of cholesterol in food generally has a small impact on cholesterol in the blood. In fact, you should worry more about saturated fat (which has a bigger impact on your cholesterol than a fucking egg). 2-3 eggs/day is nothing to get worried about.

Bottom line, eggs are kick ass… eat them with awesome sauce and you’ll do just fine. The only time I’d worry is if you have cholesterolemia… in which case you should be under the Doc’s care anyways.

Good podcast… although it cuts out short for me. As soon as you start on the question about the ab-exercises, the entire thing just stops playing.

As far as egg-whites go… I’d imagine most people consume the whites versus the entire egg is to avoid excess cholesterol. While it’s not something I personally do, I can imagine that eating 2-3 eggs every morning for breakfast could load up quite a bit of unwanted cholesterol.
