Should eggs be eaten in moderation?

Should you moderate your egg consumption? A “bad reputation”completely “unjustified” according to journalist and doctor Damien Mascret, present on the set of 19/20, Thursday October 6. The reason ? One egg contains 220 mg of cholesterol. “But we now know that most cholesterol does not come from dietary cholesterol, but from saturated fatty acids found in meats, cheeses, pastries”he adds.

According to the doctor, the egg is on the contrary “excellent” for health. “It’s high in protein, and every day our body needs protein”he recalls. “On the other hand, we also know that there are a lot of essential vitamins [et] antioxidants, very good for the eyes”, continues Damien Mascret. Only downside, excessive consumption of eggs is not recommended for people with diabetes or who have cholesterol “really overkill”.
