In nursing school in the mid-70s, I was taught that a particular protein people were consuming was BAD for you and carried that misinformation into my job as a heart nurse.
For the past 5 decades or more, those in the health industry strongly recommended limiting eggs in the diet because of the amount of cholesterol in the yolks, even promoting crazy products such as Eggbeaters.
Yet eggs have been a natural part of our diets since the dawning of time. Only now are we learning the full extent of the nutritional wonders they pack, and how beneficial they are in promoting lasting health. It was just one of the early attempts to undermine the goodness of Creator God and make us question His wisdom.
Now researchers have isolated over 1,500 unique proteins in eggs – very different from other sources of protein (source). Eggs have a ‘perfect 100’ score and many other foods are measured by the protein quality of eggs.

If you have 3-4 pastured organic eggs a day, you may not need to buy and consume certain supplements because you are getting them in a functional whole food. Not only will this save you money, but you will avoid the often less-than-desirable “Other Ingredients” often added.

Pasture-raised organic eggs are the best type of eggs to consume. If you can’t raise your own chickens for eggs, then a local farmer’s market is a great place to buy your eggs.
Find a source local to you: Eatwild’s Directory of U.S. and Canadian Farms & Ranches is a great resource.
When the hens are properly raised, their eggs:
• Have anti-inflammatory properties
• Are one of the few food sources of Vitamin D
• Give us a wide range of antimicrobial properties
• Have high levels of omega-3 fatty acids and choline, an important nutrient for the brain, liver, and heart
• Have properties that can help counter cancer and tumors
• Support the immune system
• Help lower blood pressure
• Provide a complete essential amino acid profile
• Key source of Vitamin B12, esp. for ovo-vegetarians at high risk of Vitamin B12 deficiency
• Highly bioavailable form of Vitamin A due to the presence of fat
• One of the few natural sources of iodine in the diet
• Provide an alternate source of omega-3s to fish and seafood options
• They even contain a form of colostrum
Eggs improve your cholesterol profile and do NOT raise your risk of heart disease (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). Eating 3 whole eggs per day reduces insulin resistance, raises HDL and increases the size of LDL particles in people with metabolic syndrome (7).
Eggs contain the perfect balance of fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E, K) essential for your brain, hormones, and eyes – and an abundance of trace minerals.
They are rich in the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, both reduce risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
Eggs provide the best protein in pregnancy as long as the eggs are completely cooked. This means the white has set and the yolk has started to thicken. (source)
To top it off, they are delicious!
I regret that I taught allopathic medicine’s ‘misinformation’ about eggs to many patients’ families (to their detriment) and personally missed out on some of the best nutrition during the years I struggled with infertility. So we live and learn. Now I wouldn’t be without 3-4 organic pastured eggs every morning.

I love eggs and wish I could eat them. If I do, I get nausea, cramps, and diarrhea. I can eat duck eggs in moderation. If I eat them everyday, they will disagree with me, too. I can eat 3 to 4 a week, no more than 2 at a time. I only eat pasture raised organic eggs from local duck farmer. And I get organic pasture raised chicken eggs for my grandchildren. Have you ever heard of anyone else with this problem that I have with eggs? Thanks.

Debbie, that has got to be hard. Do you have to avoid eggs as an ingredient in other recipes?
It may be an egg allergies with its etiology from past childhood vaccines. I wrote on that occurring much more than people realize:

It is possible to detox toxins out and I am working with many families to reverse food allergies – even peanut allergies – not in ever case, but in many.
Email me and I will give you more info on how (too much for here).
Blessings,
Jacque

I can’t believe I didn’t see this till now. I will email you.
