Eggs, cigarettes and atherosclerosis

What do eggs, cigarettes and atherosclerosis have in common? Consuming the amount of cholesterol found in just a single egg a day appears to cut a woman’s life short as much as smoking 5 cigarettes a day, for 15 years. Heart disease is the number one single cause of death. As an alternative, fiber consumption is the most protective behavior for your health that a woman can do. Eating just a cup of oatmeal’s worth of fiber a day appears to extend a woman’s life as much as 4 hours of jogging a week, but of course there’s no reason you can’t do both. if you just don’t think that you can give up those eggs, then learn hypnosis at Seattle weight loss hypnosis and Bainbridge Island weight loss hypnosis.

Eggs vs. Cigarettes in Atherosclerosis

As I reported last year, the Harvard Nurses’ Health Study found that the daily consumption of the amount of cholesterol found in a single egg appeared to cut a woman’s life short as much as smoking 25,000 cigarettes. Following up on that research, a study in the journal Atherosclerosis found that just 3 eggs or more a week was associated with a significant increase in artery-clogging plaque buildup in people’s carotid arteries going to their brain, a strong predictor of stroke, heart attack, and death. In fact you see a similar exponential increase in arterial plaque buildup for smokers and egg-eaters. Those that ate the most eggs had as much as two-thirds the risk of those that smoked the most, the equivalent of a pack-a-day habit for 40 years or more. ~ Michael Greger, M.D.
