- Freedom of Information Act documents reveal that the U.S. Department of Agriculture warned the egg industry that saying eggs are nutritious or safe may violate rules against false and misleading advertising.

"Eggs can reduce hunger"
10/10 Advertising
:'DDD
Matías Pierdoménico Eggs make good. PC hand grenades
Eating Bogies can reduce hunger too.
''Eggs are unhealthy to eat''
10/10 Alternative Medicine
Eating paper may reduce hunger as well. Approved.
The amount of material you and your team has to go through to make a single video must be massive. You guys present it in such a simple way. Hats-off 👍
They also said feeding dead cows to cows was safe.
@Somar Chimon your body naturally produces Cholesterol - consuming of high amounts of trans fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol increases the amount of bad cholesterol in your body. Some health organisations recommend staying under 300mg of cholesterol per day, whilst eggs have about 1000mg of cholesterol minimum and about 1.2 - 3.1 grams of saturated fat. If you compare a medium egg to half a cup of (black) beans, the egg (at about 80 calories) has saturated fat and cholesterol, some B vitamins, minerals like selenium, but the protein content is higher in the beans (approx 120 calories), and there's no cholesterol or sat fats. The beans are slightly lower in B vitamins, but higher in minerals. You do not need to consume cholesterol for a healthy diet as a vegetarian, but you could do more research on where to get protein other than eggs.
Well said sir they say lots that have turned out to be fictional or better just outright lies
No one needs eggs what a joke but you buy into it lolhahahaha we need to thin the herd and eggs are dead chicken embryos so that means they are meat
I wish I would have gone vegan years ago instead of a year ago how sick
@@chocolatechips1183 me too (2.5 years in) but better late than never
This week’s most popular video was on my Freedom of Information Act bombshell about the USDA and the egg industry: nutritionfacts.org/video/who-says-eggs-arent-healthy-or-safe/
Heyy I was just wondering if organic, cage free egg WHITES from hard boiled eggs would be considered healthy and safe...? Is all of the cholesterol and salmonella found in the yolk or is salmonella contained throughout the egg?? Hope these questions don't sound to stupid!!
Why would we listen to anything the US government has to say about "safe" or "healthy" food anyway? The USDA is bought, paid for and run by pharmaceutical company's they want fat sick and unhealthy Americans.... and it's working.
Wade McFarland Actually, the USDA is bought by Monsanto. FDA is the servant of the pharmaceutical companies.
Like you said, any information on health and diet that comes from the government is not right. Most of it isn't even wrong.
***** so... if something were proven once, it should be impossible to consider it proven already? I'd say context is both wider and more complex than you give it credit for being
.
Common sense dictates that to keep several trillion non-human vertebrate land-animals alive artificially for food *in addition to* looking out for the interests of billions of living humans simultaneously is a fool's errand.
I am referring to carrying capacities, and I have been straight-edge for YEARS, you kermudgeon.
And yet here I am, being laughed at when I say eggs are extremely unhealthy.
+Jon Boll have you even watched the video?
+Rich Tremblay Unethical people-whether they are friends, family members,
or strangers-should not be advising ethical people on how to live their
lives. You need to do what you now know to be true. So don't let others
bring you down. Misery loves company; those who still eat meat, dairy
and eggs are drowning in misery, and would love some company. So stay
strong. The animals are counting on you to make compassionate decisions.
+Rich Tremblay V
Share this video. Preach it, brother.
+Ubaid Shah maybe not the last laugh.. but he most certainly has the last cry.
It's not what Dr. Eric Berg says. Organic eggs are healthy. People have been eating them for millenia everyday, including my great-grandmother who lived until she was 94 and died of a fall, disease free, and worked until her last day in the field where she grew her food.
Conventionally grown eggs, filled with chemicals, are indeed dangerous. Eggs grown by farmers aren't.
I'm a ovo-vegetarian but you vegans sure love to scare people up wth biased reports which only mention one side of the equation.
This is one of the first nutritionfacts videos I saw when I was going vegan 8 years ago, and it continues to be one of my personal favorites
After lookin at your videos why are you vegan? You seem to be extremely under weight?
Haven't had a egg since 2004, and I loved eggs. It took a heart attack and a triple by-pass to wake me up. People just can't seem to understand that and dairy is not good for you. I told this to a friend of over 40 yrs. from Wisconsin, and he quit emailing me. Many people just don't want to hear the truth.
Eggs and dairy have more saturated fat than most meats, yet they account for the majority of saturated fat in Americans diet and are the last foods most people would consider giving up.
I think it depends what causes inflamation in your body, some react to gluten others to eggs. Juat a thought, but maybe its different for every body.
@@serenapena7984 if you continue to watch the videos on this channel you will quickly see that the scientific evidence does not support your assertion.
Grow your chicken, don’t buy vegetable oils, processed food etc, you should be okay
@@saedabumokh9577 You can grow your chicken, but don't eat the eggs or the meat 😎

Well done.

Looks like 188 people weren't too egg-cited to hear the bad news. It must be egg-ravating!
I love it ha
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate this comment. Thank you.
oh for god's sake don't egg him on
I egg to differ...eggs are consumable after all haha
Lynnianaa EGGactly dude!
You are doing the world a great service by compiling all this research and presenting it in a most great manner.
Research of the USDA's opinion, no less.
Jon Boll you have no proof!
Jon Boll - you are the one who is misled.
The founders of modern vegetarianism/veganism didn't get heart disease or cancer but they did get Parkinson's which severely restricted their mobility in later years. Blood tests showed they had not a drop of DHA despite having eaten plenty of nuts n seeds www.i-nhs.com/inhs/vegan-parkinsons.html
More n more vegans are eating eggs. HaHa HaHa HaHaaaaaaaaa
The government telling me that eggs aren't safe....??? That must mean they're the best possible thing you could eat. I love eating eggs as much as I can. I pick organic ones up from a small local farm. I've never been sick or had any bad side effects from eating eggs. I'm strong and healthy, eggs give me all sorts of energy to work hard all day. Help your health and community, go out and buy local eggs!
+Pig Farmer Ben I smoke cigarettes for years now and I'm strong, feel good and healthy. Cigarettes must be good for you. Kappa
one must ask the question what are these "eggs" to save you time they're basically chicken menstruation
+AsmodeusClips your mother wishes you would stop smoking, but most importantly move out of her basement.
+Aaron Verran nutriance my friend. But you probably don't need them to type on a keyboard.
+Pig Farmer Ben what?
erm....... why is the government PAYING to advertise eggs?
Because it's a million dollar industry
which the government GAIN from ONLY if they invest their money in it. And the government like money :) :)
***** confused much?
+matchbox555 did you watch supersize me? there is a part where it gets mentioned, too. but i will try to explain it myself (but excuse my not so good english skills): the government supports industries by advertising them and also by subsidies, which helps them to keep the prices of their items down, so people consume more than they should or naturally would. when consumers buys more, the industry gets more money. and when the industry gets more they can pay the government a lot of money back in form of taxes. this is the simpliest form to explain it. there are a lot of other things playing a big role such as the pharmacy lobby. by allowing a lot of unhealthy food to be sold, people get sick more quickly, so they have to buy medication etc. like for allergies, diabetes or obesity. to conclude: for the government it is an investment to get more money back. btw the government also subsidize banks, although they have already a lot of money. so it is about lobbyism, monopolism and control. you need the government for that and the government needs those industries. so practically they help each other to keep everything under control. and by that i mean our system. the system we live in is a consumer society and when people stop consuming a lot, our system the way it is now, would fall apart. it is a circulation they try to keep in progress.
ConGamePro I've seen that in a documentary. It was so fucked up.
It's interesting that Japan is the country with the highest egg consumption rate in the world. They also have the highest life expectancy, a low cancer rate and one of the lowest obesity rates in the world.
It's about time the chicken periods are exposed
when do trees ovaries will get exposed? Still waiting for that one!
But you are a product of human ovulation eewwwe
13Gladius 2, stop eating humans!
Omg🙄seriously, a chicken is a bird, not a mammal🙄 birds to not develop a uterine lining, so they do not have a period. Laying an egg and shedding a uterine lining are two completely different things🤦♀️ Pretty pathetic that you have to resort to trying to gross someone out to get them to stop eating eggs. Please take a human biology class because you are very confused if you think we are birds🤔
justylex, don't you know where chickens come from?
I just pulled up the "incredible egg" website. Looks like the egg board is still operating under the same constraints shown in this video. Here is a little tidbit.
"Eggs are all-natural and packed with a number of nutrients. One egg has 13 essential vitamins and minerals in varying amounts, high-quality protein and antioxidants, all for 70 calories."
It's amusing the to see them try to make eggs sound healthy without being able to say that they are healthy. If the government really did change it's tune on eggs; why does the egg board have to play such word gymnastics?
+transhealthy They're using nutrients in their ad? Can you share the link?
TeleTrans 1 Because HURR DURR SAT FATS=BAD. But sugar and carbs are a okay! The USDA and FDA still goes by with that dated 1977 food pyramid thing and they don't plan on changing that anytime soon.
I have to say if I didn't see this video first I would have fell for that wording.
Word gymanics oooh big word
I've lost 40 lbs in 18 weeks and I eat eggs A LOT. Edit: so how can they not contribute to weight loss?
They do😊
You ate less of everything else (fruit and vegetables?) So now you may weigh less but risk of disease still higher than if you didn't eat loads of eggs, I think.
Just say no to hen periods.
This is comedy gold! What a sad state of affairs!
"Can reduce hunger".
Lol! So can cotton balls! I need to send this to my mom. She eats relatively healthy but has high cholesterol because she likes eggs.
I've been telling her for years the saturated fat and cholesterol in eggs means it's not a health food.
Because we all know the FDA is the most accurate source of nutritional information and always knows best. The same people that would use this as evidence would turn around and call the FDA out on recommending things like meat in the diet. You can't both use them as a source of authority and then refute them as one.
The "source of authority" are the many studies upon which these guidelines on truth in advertising are based. The USDA is helping the egg people from future litigation with their suggestions. They're still on the same side. That is why these documents were not public, and are blacked out.
this comment should be way up
brutalbeetle meat IS bad. And yes he can.
Ok I guess we can’t trust the cdc either
obviously you are not bright enough to understand what this is about.. let me shed some light for you.... The USDA is "allocating funds" to promote meat & Dairy....(this is because our political system is so broken the politics and power of the Multi trillion dollar meat & dairy industries)...so the USDA plays the role of "policing" how those funds are used.....what is being pointed out here is the government knows that eggs are unhealthy and therefore does not allow them to be advertised as such. the "Reason" the government knows they are unhealthy is because of hundreds of studies that have been done by accredited organizations and individuals that are verifiable that show this to be the facts.... I have personally read hundreds of them myself...have you? somehow based on your comment I doubt it... so just STFU you have no clue ya troll :) now in 2019 let me also call your attention to the "slow Progression" as I call it that the food pyramid now does not say X servings of "meat" it said X servings of Meat, beans, legumes....because they are slowly weening the public off the meat & dairy and trickling the info out so as not to bring multi trillion dollar industries to a grinding halt......the facts are still the facts....lol
My body told me eggs are unhealthy. Every time I tried to eat them a few hours later I'd be so sick. I used to love eggs and could eat them daily until I began to get sick after eating them , suddenly even my taste buds refused them.
I guess I'm glad that the industry isn't allowed to lie with taxpayer dollars but why do they have access to taxpayer dollars for marketing purposes to begin with? These are all for-profit entities no different from any other. This is small potatoes compared to the subsidies the animal agriculture industry gets for the purpose of production but it's ridiculous that in addition to lowering their costs, they also get a government-funded marketing budget.
I take exception to the idea you can't call eggs high in protein. The average egg is 76 calories and contains around 5.5g of protein. Each gram of protein is 4 calories, meaning that each average egg is around 29% protein calories. This is only "low" in protein compared to milk, cheese and meats and it's not very far off of milk and cheese at all.
Compared to every fruit, vegetable, nut, bean and seed that I've ever looked at, eggs are high in protein. High and low are relative terms. Compared to White Crab meat or Haddock, Chicken breast is "low" in protein, but who in their right mind would call chicken breast a low protein food..?
I can watch these videos all day, doctor. Thanks for the great research, succinct conclusions, great editing, etc. Please continue to cover more topics you may have not already! Thanks!
Nice work, probably get lots of negative feedback from eggs lovers, truth is truth though.
Hi Dr..Greger .I am interested in ask you about curcuma.
Could curcuma replace Meticorten as anti inflamatory in Lupus E.S.?
I apreciate you opinion.Thanks from Mexico
I used to scarf down two-to-three sunny side ups on rye toast almost every day...it was my last addiction to animal products. Never more - and since going vegan, my biometrics and feelings of health have _greatly improved_ with each passing day!
My last non-vegan meal was about 4 very sloppy scrambled eggs and a whole pack of smoked salmon.
5:24 Can you please provide a link to the full email chain?
Probably not!
This is a jaw dropper. Thank you.
I haven't eaten eggs in years, and this helps me talk to others about why they shouldn't be a part of anyone's breakfast EVEN if those people don't care about the animals.
Furious Pete, still laughing at your name and comment lololololol
Eating more eggs will allow the liver to rest from making cholesterol of which it makes only 75% of the body's daily needs anyway. Does Greger know this? No bcz he's a doofus
Those that don't wana eat eggs, I beg you please don't !!! Less for you = more for those that really do want, love n appreciate them.
Lettuce bee kind to our animals 💝
So what
“Ohhh the animals”
Ok we’re all animals it’s just like that sorry.
The cycle of life, but yeah I do agree that animals unnecessarily suffer
And even if I do consume meat that is local and I hunt for bison meat and venison
On a large scale that is not sustainable, so we’re stuck.
😂😂😂😂😂
I just can't help but love when the industry gets absolutely wrecked by science lol
Two comments:
1 - What about the HDL vs LDL argument?
2 - About salmonella, while in the U.S. it is unsafe to eat under-cooked or raw eggs, in Japan it is the norm to eat raw and under-cooked eggs. Any comments on that?
My Aunt lived to almost a hundred. She ate a Traditional Japanese diet which included raw eggs mixed with lots of vegetables & greens, and white rice.
I’m confused. Is this video old? I thought we learned recently that dietary intake of cholesterol does not increase serum cholesterol...?
Because there is an agenda here, clearly. The man is plant based, saying eggs are bad..
Yes, that is correct. If you feed someone with a cholesterol of 300 5 eggs, cholesterol will not raise a bit. However feed someone who has a total cholesterol below 150 (basically heart attack proof) the same eggs and their cholesterol will spike quickly well into the 200's. That's how the egg people design their studies. Clever trick, but the story remains unchanged: there is never a need to eat cholesterol. It is super bad for you.
Such great research! Also you are very good at simplifying the vast amount of information.
Hi Doc, thanks for sharing your research and correspondence. I do notice though that Eggland’s Best lists all the vitamins and the amount of Omega 3 on the outside of the packages of white and brown eggs and claims to have 25% less saturated fat than regular eggs.
people need to wake up and stop eating these cruel foods which are extremely detrimental to your health and the environment
sometimes it seems like there is karma
+Dennys Bulnes Campos Yes. Constant egg production drains chickens of calcium and shortens their lives. Beaks are cut, they're crammed into cages, and much, much more than I care to go into detail. There's plenty of information online
***** they also ground up billions of live baby chicks.
To clarify, eggs are not cruel. the current farming practice is.
Mikes Law Debatable. Laying eggs is taxing on a chicken's body because of the nutrients its body is drained of to produce said egg. Chickens are supposed cannibalize their eggs in order to regain some of those nutrients
Just watching this and laughing my ass off. So glad I'm vegan.
Seems to me that the USDA is out of touch when it comes to saying what is nutritious. Still worried about the cholesterol and saturated fat in eggs, rather than the sugar in breakfast cereals. I rather eat an3 egg omelette with arugula than a bowl of "nutritious" cornflakes. Or your favorite healthy wheat cereal. Not that many people eat cereals, eat 3/4ths cup. 🙄. All that sugar in that bowl. Lol
A 20 year Finnish study found that 2000 men who ate at least 5 eggs a week had lower risk of diabetes compared to those who ate 1 or less. Lifestyle habits were factored in. They also found that high fat dairy such as cheese had 23% lower risk of the disease. But they found that red meat intake increased the risk.
One researcher said that the contradiction to other studies may be because high egg eaters generally live less healthy lives (smoking, other bad diet choices etc.) and were not taken into account.
I'm sure Greger would ignore the egg, and dairy part of the study.
+quakerlyster You could easily find evidence for the contrary.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20471806
You have to eat something. It's important to look at what they did not eat if they ate eggs. In a healthier population, eggs would probably be an unhealthy contribution to the diet.
Would be interested to see if other industries like fruit/vegetable are also subject to this sort of thing. Maybe they are just protecting themselves from being sued. Even if the risk is way below 1%
The broccoli lobby 😰
Excellent video, Dr. Greger!
bananiac Eggscellent* lol
I feel like this guy tells me that everything I thought was healthy is actually not. They're all lies. No red meats, no milk, no eggs. Feel like this guy is trying to make me paranoid about what im eating.
This absolutely blows my mind! How can they still legally sell these things to people without AT LEAST cigarette packet type warnings??... :/ So glad I have given up eggs and all other animal products thanks to Dr Greger :)
I love this! Thank you so much! Now I know where to send my egg-eating friends without having to get into an argument ;-P
Sure, after eating 5 weeks every day atleast 2 eggs (not counting products including eggs) I must call on some bull. USDA is hammering on Fat and cholesterol, while they should put their head in the industrial sugar consumption. Fat is not even bad to begin with. Meanwhile they are lowering standards for fatty content we can eat (and heavily monitoring these products on a commercial level) but they are also replacing those fats with more and more sugar. Diabetes and obesity are on a rise yet dietary fat is still getting the blame (while being actively lowered in products). This world is just so dang stupid sometimes.
Jack Stubbington I know that it's fat that is blocking the insulin, but it's not because you are eating dietary fat that you are storing it. Fat itself gives very little drive to insulin release (the storing hormone). It's because of chronic unstable insulin levels that you are driving fat molecules into your cells more than neccesary (or in other words, eating a fatty meal that includes a good amount of carbs is whats up). If saturated fat was (in your diet mind you) really the problem, then why is it such an effective way to battle diabetes with high fat/low carb diets such as atkins or keto? I know the reason why, and it's not fat that is to blame. I will keep telling people that they are looking at the wrong macro.
I also want to quickly add that I'm not saying that it's carbs alone that is at fault, I strongly believe putting both macros in the same meal is bad. (high fat and carb content). I've been experimenting myself with different approaches that allow me to eat a lot of fat and a lot of carbs during the day, but keep them seperated in my meals (so either a high fat-low carb meal or a high carb-low fat meal) and i'm making quite some health improvements over the board.
Agreed
+MysticDragons
They need something to promote. Wait a minute. Sugar isn't a food? But it make Billions to be handed out to the hands out.
Mark Anthony yes, sadly it's all about the money. Sugar is cheap to make, and makes a ton of products which means more $$$. Food companies don't want us to be healthy, they want us to be addicted to their food so we buy more of it. Sugar happens to be very addicting.
+MysticDragons Although, a high carb low fat vegan diet has been shown in clinical studies to reverse diabetes, so we can't really blame carbs.
I am so thankful to share this with everyone I know.
Haha, that explains that old "incredible, edible egg" jingle from the 90s.
What a load of crap. I lowered my cholesterol from 6.9 to 5.4 in 8 weeks by eating 6 eggs three times a week
This is one of my favourite videos. Makes me laugh every time. 💚
Yes, the standards are based on the lipid hypothesis which was thrown out decades ago, thus people fear cholesterol so eggs cannot be called healthy, but they are healthy for the general population based on quality and quantity.
Most modern evidence on human health concludes that fats and cholesterol are not the problem but in fact sugar is the problem. Begs the question why stupidly high sugar processed food can be deemed "healthy" but eggs cannot be.
Seems that if you are a Egg marketer your hands are pretty much tied behind your back. It says that eggs have too much cholesterol but what about good cholesterol? Also what about good fats?
#ShaunFitzmaurice
I’ve watched a handful of these videos. Okay, maybe four handfuls of these videos. I applaud you, standing ovation Dr. Gregor. This topic, the research and all of your hard work for this just raised the ceiling. It’s not hard to believe that the USDA is corrupt, but you filled in all of the blanks. We cannot be fooled! Thank you for all that you do. If I was a billionaire- heck if I was half a millionaire I would throw all my money at you. But my measly self can only like, share, comment, and spread the word. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you for this video: thoughtful, well-informed and highly crafted irony used to target and dismantle the corporate-driven, media-amplified manipulation of minds.
Well said! You're no mute imbecile yourself, 😂. Dr Greger is👌 & to the 👉, 👏
Great video, very interesting to see these documents that you have requested. Thanks for making and sharing this video. :)
You can say they're keto friendly.
You can say they're carb free, they don't cause an insulin response.
They also have pasteurized eggs, they are safe.
Dietary cholesterol does not readily affect cholesterol in your blood.
You can also eat them yolk free and you can also eat egg product which removes all the negatives of eggs.
People talk about how we've been eating eggs for thousands of years except evolution doesn't work that quickly. Eggs (and dairy) weren't part of the diet we developed our digestive systems for around one million years ago.
None of us were there but history records prove my point.
+Jon Boll So because they didn't eat eggs they only ate Celery? Seems like you need to expand your dietary spectrum. Humans a millennium ago ate diets rich in starches, fruits, roots, legumes and vegetables. Some cultures utilized meats and dairy but for the most part these were rare up until the invention of agriculture. Meat and dairy are incredibly inefficient to produce, they require lots of water and grains people could otherwise be consuming themselves. Yes meat and dairy are good sources of calories in the short term, but we're more concerned with the attritional affects which over time significantly increase the chance of many forms of cancer and disease.
Billions of animals have been eating eggs for billions of years even herbivores have the human body as a part of the animal kingdom is no different
Evolution doesn't work period, regardless how fast.
@@Josh-wb7ii They ate bugs poop and all They did not even gut them.
I think that is what is truely amazing about this is that in 2015 we dont even know if an egg is good for us or not. That tells you something....
+13thGh0st We do know and have known for decades, but the meat and dairy industry in western countries is absolutely massive and rich, happy to spend billions to make sure the average american gets their 2 eggs every morning, their burger for lunch, and their steak for dinner.
Do you eat / like eggs Joshua? Did you ever eat or like them..and when did you stop eating and liking them. All the best.
13thGh0st For the majority of my childhood I ate a lot of eggs, and also eggs. After learning about the many reasons why I should never consume eggs or milk again I weened myself off dairy in the span of about a month. Now I'm completely vegan and I have no cravings for eggs or milk at all.
+Joshua Muller
About a month? Did you have any withdrawal symptoms?
A month ladies and gentlemen. The courage and whatever I applaud.
I have to go now.My bacon and eggs, and I slipped in some toast and coffee, await.
Mark Anthony Hey we all have our vices, some adults like sex, drugs or alcohol, some children can't possibly go without their yummy yummy eggies and bacon!
I like watching horror movies, but this one is the most terrifying I've seen in years. "Let's make people buy and eat more eggs, but remember, they are not healthy, nutritious, OR SAFE" 😱
Here are my suggestions for the egg board:
"some people eat eggs" " eggs are a good source of egg", "eggs?"
I would love to see some FOI and USDA research on meat in general...is this why meat's "protein" was pushed so hard? I don't ever recall meat being called nutritious or healthy...only that it is a good source of complete protein, which is a correct statement. Of course there are "other" forms of complete protein, but it is a true statement none the less. Please research and share :)
Great stuff, Dr Greger is humorous and presents well-researched videos, one of the best nutrition channels on youtube.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha, good one.
Baby steps, but we're getting there, quietly but inevitably.
I believe that as a child I had the right instinct about animal foods, didn't really like any and HATED eggs (and milk!). My mother insisted on giving me soft-boiled eggs but they grossed me out, and when that runny yolk got cold if I put any in my mouth I'd wretch so she eventually gave up. When I grew up I more or less could stand them scrambled and in an omelette but I usually had to put onions or other stuff in them because I disliked the smell. I also could eat them fried once in a while but the yolk had to be completely cooked.
The only reason I ate them at all was because I thought they were "healthy" and since they don't digest easily when I did Atkins I ate them sometimes but can't say I ever found them "delicious". Most of the time I felt eating eggs once a month was plenty for me, so when I decided to change my diet last December I was more than happy to "give up" eggs (along with meat, then the few dairy products I ate 5 weeks later), I even forgot I had an almost entire carton in the fridge so it just had to go to the trash. I now feel so liberated I wish I'd made that decision years ago!
Not safe, eggs? Well, think again, they do come out of the ass of a hen, after all!
***** yes, that's what I meant!
One orifices yes, but two vents.
Thank you for making this! Very informative!
Following the logic of less than 1g saturated fat per 100g pretty much all nuts are considered unhealthy, including Greger's favourite, walnuts. I'm not sure this back and forth of censoring certain words is a good case against eggs...
I watched my grandparents eat local farm eggs all of there lives and live to be ripe old ages. And they loved there sweets. True, they walked a lot and ate mostly whole foods and rarely indulged in alcohol. Grand dad smoked until he hit 40's. Passed away at 85. Grand ma 90.
Thanks !!
I was going to say something about my grandpa my didn't get around to it.
My grandpa would have been 100 years old if he had lived but he died at 80.
He also use to eat high fat and high protein but very low carb.
But my dad is diabetic but his diet was high carb.
Gene, who cares? Anecdotes are useless when it comes to planning for public health programs.
joseph jacovino The point was Eggs are a WHOLE FOOD that people have eaten for EONS and most people have eaten them every single day. I still think the EGG industry is getting a BAD RAP because of Everything else that is NOT whole food that contributes to Health ISSUES from lack of Exercise, and Poor Attitude like yours that leads to depression and well being. I have nothing to do with the “EGG INDUSTRY” but will stick up for WHOLE FOODs anyday over what 90% of people are doing now going out to eat at drive thru’s. and Candy bars, and so called Smoothies making AMERICA FAT
I can't stop laughing! Great video. :-)
is this meant to be funny or is it some anti-vegan video some lame-o tried to pawn off?
like the dozens of crap I read about how meat is healthy and vegans are malnourished?

Use lard from natural pigs for cooking, butter on your bread, melted coconut oil for baking and the best olive oil you can buy for salads.
So I take it saturated fat doesn't cause inflammation then? Wrong.

Most studies are funded by for profit companies so I would take them with a grain of salt. On the other hand why do you think the traditional cultures around the globe who eat their traditional diets which in many cases contain much more saturated fats than Americans eat, rarely have any signs of inflammation related diseases like MS, Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Acne? Some of these cultures would include the Inuit of the Arctic, Maasai of Africa, Kitavan Islandas of Papua New Guinea etc.
After realizing this truth, It's a clear sign that these studies you mentioned are after your wallet.

saturated fat does not cause inflammation in the body. Correct!
That “The Incredible Edible Egg” campaign makes more sense now.
It must be eggravating to know I'm 42 6 foot with 15 percent bf eat 8 or 10 eggs a day and load 4 plates on everything that matters while having below normal cholesterol levels. You either got it or you don't.
egg industry is cruel and disgusting
Website of the egg board here -

What are the 4 risk increasing nutrients??
I watched this video all the way to the end and I was waiting for him to give the obvious response to answer the question of eggs being good or bad.... so are eggs good or bad? this whole video was so sarcastic I'm so confused!!!
Don't rely on the opinions of others to determine what is true or not. Dr greger just presents facts and its up to you to come to your own conclusion and getting more information
egg-traordinary video and egg-cellent presentation, Doc.
😂😂😂
So, these are pretty much legal documents we are reading when corporations try to sell products?
Dr Greger, I've been a big fan of your work. Like many people, I'm confused about all the conflicting information in nutrition these days. I saw you on the Netflix doc What the Health. While your arguments are not without merit or evidence, I think it's more prudent to take a Bayesian approach to answer whether eggs are healthy or not. By this I mean that common sense says if we have 100 studies on egg intake vs mortality, and say, 95 of them show something akin to "eggs show no negative association with CVD", and 5 show something akin to "eggs ARE positively associated with CVD", then what should we conclude? As a Bayesian, my posterior belief updates whenever I see new evidence that either supports or refutes my prior belief.
So let's say our prior belief is that eggs are bad for you. If we see several studies directly refuting that finding, we should update our belief in the opposite direction.
Do a quick search on scholar.google.com for "eggs cardiovascular disease" or "eggs mortality". The top several studies all show a recurring motif: no association
So while I generally applaud your overall theme of encouraging people to adopt a more plant-based diet, there doesn't seem to be much evidence indicating that eggs are bad.
ROFL I always like these joke replies.
@@jedmaple I wasn't joking at all. I'm a scientist as well and one of the tenants of science is to look at the data and let it inform and update one's beliefs.
The majority of data provided by myriad research papers shows there's either little or no correlation between egg consumption and cardiovascular disease. Don't take my word for it. Read the literature yourself and you'll see the same finding
Why would you misinterpret me as joking?
@@RedShipsofSpainAgain Seriously, stop it. I almost peed my pants, I was laughing so hard. If you want to believe in moonbeams and fairytales, who am I to intrude. I'm guessing those scientists at the USDA know less than you. Guess they didn't go to the right scientist school. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
@@mikestaalleeenergysystems2824 ok I'll bite. Since when is evidence based scientific data considered "moonbeams and fairytales"? If one article says eggs are not harmful, I wouldn't give it much thought.
But when dozens and dozens of scientific papers are finding that same conclusion, we should probably take that finding more credibly.
You probably mean egg board funded studies that compare eggs with some junk.
and since when does the USDA know what's healthy?
The USDA knows but they lie
so what sources of protein are we supposed to use then???
according to vegans and this channel all meat is bad, all eggs are bad, all dairy products are bad, all fish is bad...
humans weren't made to eat beans only as a source of protein. I for one believe in evolution and, looking at our closest relative still in existence, the bonobo, we can see that even they eat eggs. I find it hard to believe that millions of years of evolution, physical aswell as cultural, still hasn't eliminated this 'poison' from our diets.
I'm not going to eat larvae and peas for the rest of my life, thank you.
Suggestions are welcome however ;p
That Earthling the longest living populations ate the majority of their calories from starchy vegetables, grains and legumes. (Beans and lentils) they ate very little fish and oil, maybe 2 servings a week. You don't need as much protein as you think, and you can get it from plant sources. Your body prefers plant proteins and digests them more easily
Vegan buddhist. digests them more easily so been flatulent from all the beans and lentils all day and night and having stomach issues is better than not experiencing that with animal products? You vegan smart asses think all human bodies work the same, well let me break it to you. NO. I've tried vegan, vegetarian diets and when it comes to my body and how it works it just simply doesn't work, and dont bring me that bullshit that maybe i am not balancing the diets well. My body just feels more comfortable eating some days animal based products some days vegetarian only.
Oh and i love eating fucking eggs, almost everyday, those chicken periods are delicious, guess what i still manage to keep a low cholesterol because i have low saturated fat diets.
This is spot on! Thank you dr Greger!
They made a good point there. I am less hungry.... sometimes I am even full after eating eggs! Crazy man
Eggs are good for you.
Eggs are healthy.
Eggs are rich in protein and vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids.
Eggs are nutritious!
Eggs keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Eggs are delicious.
amen
So says the egg man.
I always thought that eggs were the perfect food,they contain everything.!!!!
This video says more about corporate spin and government regulation than it does about eggs. Nobody is hearing for the first time that eggs are high in fat and cholesterol in this video. I've seen no evidence that it is unhealthy in any practical sense of the word to include eggs in your diet. Clearly, moderation is called for, as it is with anything you put in your body.
***** I am skeptical that eggs are in any way bad for you, unless you have egg allergies of course.
I know links won't work, but do you have any keywords for a study that states that they are bad?
***** Yes, we know eggs contain cholesterol. But where is the proof it is harmful? If you re-read Berendo's comment, it is studies showing that they are bad we all would like to see... studies like the ones this doctor links to in his debunking of the common misunderstandings of cholesterol. eatingacademy.com/nutrition/the-straight-dope-on-cholesterol-part-i
***** YOU NEED TO TALK TO ME!!!! IF YOUR NOT EATING EGGS EVERYDAY YOUR UNINFORMED------and YOUR HEALTH IS IN JEOPARDY!!!!!
I see that Your The Dumb Ass Here
Moderation: Instead of putting gallons into the fire, let's put quarts!
I wouldn't be surprised if you were part of the meat/dairy industry ;)
So because it has high cholesterol and sat fat it’s not nutrituous? I wonder if ppl realize eggs have other sources of nutrients.
Excellent !!! Thank you every day, Dr. Greger.
Great video!!
this guy needs to review some of the literature about cholesterol and saturated fat. when you completely eradicate all extraneous variables and purely look at the relationship between saturated fat and heart disease there is none. eggs are one of the most nutritious whole foods available, especially the egg yolk which has the fat plus all the essential nutrients. SUGAR is your problem America, not saturated fat.
So youre saying if ppl ONLY eat eggs w zero variables then its healthy. Eggs are nasty and that yolk is NOT delicious. Fat blocks insulin receptors not sugar which causes insulin resistance. Fat makes people fat since fat stores as fat where carbs store as glycogen. Try some research bro.
@@Booooberrie Sugar also stored as fat , If the body Glycogen Store get full , the body start store that excess sugar into fat in the fat tissues, processed carbs and saturated fats are both bad
troll
100% agree with you. Vegans always have an agenda. Any and all studies I've read, including metanalysis primary sources, discount this video completely.
@@Booooberrie I imagine that you have surely heard and swallowed everything that shitty "documentaries" like "What is Health" said to put out such a junk.
In short, on the one hand, the storage of fat in the muscles, which therefore blocks insulin receptors, is largely caused by the production of insulin and therefore by the consumption of carbohydrates (see www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11500316)
On the other hand, fats (including saturated) are not a factor of hypertriglyceridemia, unlike carbonhydrates (in particular fructose) (see academic.oup.com/jn/article/131/10/2772S/4686463)
Finally, even without talking about studies, I will have to explain to me why I, my family and all my friends who grew up with a traditional French diet (a lot of eggs, cheeses, red meats, pork ...) have an iron health and body in general much more powerful / clean than most other Europeans and North Americans, including vegan tabilans like you (assuming that someone who explains to me about categorically that an egg IS NOT GOOD is either a Taliban or a child) or your guru Mr Greger, aka the skinny fat bald
But hey, I imagine that our good public health in France is due to WINE, because yes it is well known that ALL French people drink ALL the time of wine, and that wine must contain a special molecule that protects the body from cardiovascular problems as well likes to say the stupid high carbs / vegans who do not support contradictions of their dogma.
What's about egg whites sans yolks ??...🤔
Sir please say something regarding the oxidation of cholesterol during cooking. That should make eggs worse.
Wow

@@chillmemer2525 LMAO
I have been eating 2 eggs a day for years and my cholesterol is fine. I eat oats daily and brown rice 3 x per week and 4 fruits a day . I eat legumes daily and only one portion of meat a day
teetoo labalaba 💪💪🏻
Probably inspite of then
So when asked in a public forum id eggs are safe, anyone representing the egg industry is legally obligated to say no? Lol nice
Where can I verify this information? I find it really compelling, but I need to be able to verify it.
Contact Dr Greger.
Can reduce hunger - LOL !! )))
NO EGGS NO GAINZZ
+prsoKSA NO BRAINZZ
Can’t make gainz when you’re dead
I have been fairly strictly plant-based for a couple of years, but I have been craving eggs lately. Not just here and there, but pretty much daily for a couple months. It wasn't a food I really loved a lot when it was a regular part of my diet. Does anyone have any theories?
I crave chocolate sometimes - and cake - and lazing around watching TV when I have things to do ....
I tried vegan but I didn't feel physically well after months of refraining from eggs so I went back to being an ovo-vegetarian and feel fit and healthy again.
You're body might signal a nutritional deficiency. Not everyone's body is capable of absorbing the synthetic vitamins in fortified foods and supplements as well as your body would with naturally occurring vitamins (like B12).
doesnt seem to be law here in the UK :( went onto the Happy egg company website and the first thing i see is "HEALTHY QUICHE RECIPE"
It is unbelievable how people keep being fooled by the egg industry... :( Thank you for sharing this crucial information!
