For example, which came first, the chicken or the egg? If we fast forward to the modern era we find that we still have questions about the egg. Like is the egg yolk bad for you and should you be eating them? Unlike in the nursery rhyme above, we have researchers instead of kings who can put the fall of the egg back together again!<\/p>\n<p>First let\u2019s start with one of the biggest fears about eating the egg yolk: high cholesterol content. In this<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/17092383\/\"> study<\/a> they compared men and women who ate eggs almost daily to those who didn\u2019t eat eggs at all. What they found was that the people who ate eggs on a daily basis didn\u2019t have an increase in the risk of heart disease compared to those who ate very little eggs.<\/p>\n<p>And then we have the saturated fat scare. Here\u2019s what saturated fat looks like on a molecular level compared to unsaturated fat:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-819\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Saturated-vs-Unsaturated-fat.png\" alt=\"Saturated vs Unsaturated fat | Egg Yolks = Unhealthy? Cholesterol? Heart Disease? | The Egg Yolk Debate\" width=\"400\" height=\"393\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The whole deal with saturated fat is that since the structure is straight instead of crooked like the unsaturated fat, it would be easier to stack up in your arteries and clog them. But is that really the case?<\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s look at the upside of eggs and if they even have any (Sunny side up doesn\u2019t count). Do eggs contain anything that would actually be beneficial to your health that\u2019s hard to find in other foods?
