The myth of the egg is whether it is good or not, whether it is healthy or not. It has been a cardiologist who has spoken about it through social networks. This is Jose Abellan, who has addressed an issue that always brings a lot of controversy. Because some say yes and others say the opposite. According to moments and theories related to food and well-being. “They are in the spotlight. Because while some tell you that they are good, others that they are bad,” he explains
That’s where the myths come in, and in this case, they are linked to nutrition. Listening to professionals is essential to know what is true and not to be influenced by any kind of misinformation. “In nutrition, and in health, there is no good or bad. There are foods that are more or less healthy than others,” he says.
That’s why this health professional explains that the egg is back in the eye of the storm because of the diversity of versions about its health benefits or not
The specialist explains that eggs are a natural food and really rich in essential nutrients, but they also have a high amount of cholesterol, which in the long run is detrimental to the heart
Studies spoke of two cases. If the egg is compared with ultra-processed products, the former wins. But when the egg is compared with plant sources, the opposite is true. “This may be due to the amount of cholesterol it provides us with, and it does not mean that eggs are bad. But it is less healthy than other foods. And I think it’s important that you’re aware of this, so you don’t overdo it,” says the cardiologist.
