Daily Dose November 14, 2003 ************************************************************** Eggs-oneration for my favorite food - once #1 on the mainstream's most wanted list! Boy, I'm on a roll lately. Over the last few years, the mainstream's been reversing itself left and right - to grudgingly agree with a raft-load of what I've been tooting about for the last, I don't know, 3 decades or so! But even though I've savored hearing our medical establishment recently admit the wrong-headedness of such long-standing " truths " I've been railing against - things like the carb-heavy Food Pyramid diet, the PSA test for prostate cancer, how sodium causes high blood pressure, the dangers of even the most moderate alcohol consumption, and tons of others - there's one thing they've about-faced on that's made me happier than anything else: The idea that eggs are BAD for you. And don't be fooled by all the pro-egg talk you may have been hearing lately. Up until very recently, the mainstream's been vilifying these golden morsels of good fat, protein and other healthy substances as dangerous " cholesterol bombs " that'll stop your heart faster than snake venom. Their persecution of one of nature's perfect foods is legendary, stretching back to the 1970s. Back then, it got so bad that egg producers were forced to develop a huge PR campaign just to keep people eating eggs... Remember " The incredible, edible egg? " It was a catchy slogan then - but they're words to live by now. Eggs ARE incredible, and they've ALWAYS been edible. Here's the latest proof: * A University of Washington study found that adding two eggs per day to the National Cholesterol Program's recommended daily diet had NO EFFECT on plasma LDL - even among those with elevated LDL! * Finnish research involving over 21,000 male subjects found that dietary cholesterol was NOT associated with coronary heart disease risk. * A pair of large epidemiological studies (involving over 117,000 participants) showed that the adjusted risk of Cardiovascular Disease was identical whether subjects ate less than one egg weekly or seven. * Even the stodgy American Heart Association has given its blessing to an egg-a-day diet for optimum heart health. So jump out of bed in the morning and fix yourself a nice omelet - or whip up a batch of egg salad for lunch... Because my favorite heart-healthy food is BACK ON THE MENU! ************************************************************** To start receiving your own copy of the Daily Dose, visit: http://www.realhealthnews.com/dailydose/freecopy.html Or forward this e-mail to a friend so they can sign-up to receive their own copy of the Daily Dose. ************************************************************** They ought to call them " craniumberries " Serve yourself a double helping of cranberry sauce this Thanksgiving - and start adding a glass a day of this tangy juice to your health regimen... Why? Well, for starters, cranberry juice and other products are rich in vitamins, nutrients, antioxidants - and even substances with antibiotic properties. But by far the most important reason you should be consuming this berry and its extract is this: It can very likely help protect your brain against neuron damage in the event of a stroke. According to lab-animal research conducted by the University of Massachusetts, brain neurons treated with cranberry-based extract were NEARLY 50% MORE LIKELY to survive strokes intact than untreated brain cells. The researchers have not yet isolated the specific compound in cranberries which provides this neuro-protective benefit... But since cranberries are so darn good for you in other ways, why not get ALL these benefits straight from the delicious source! Just be sure to eat 100% natural cranberry sauce and drink 100% pure juice. Check the labels - most of the grocery-store varieties contain added sugar.
