Re: eggs

I'm not speaking against MH here, but raw egg yolk cannot clog your arteries unless it is cooked. Most of the studies are done on cooked egg yolk, not raw. Anything if heated will create mucus and harm the body. That does not mean you can go off and eat any thing raw either. A lot of raw plant foods aren't good for the body either due to anti-nutrients and plant chemicals. I've researched this a lot and this is what I have found.

Damaged Cholesteol

Due to the influence of heat, cholesterol in food is oxidized. Already at 100°C, cholesterol oxidizes 'spontaneously'. (19) Through oxidation, the cholesterol molecules gain or lose atoms, originating new cholesterol-like molecules.

Due to the influence of heat, approximately 30% of cholesterol oxidizes into oxy-cholesterols. About 6% of oxy-cholesterol is absorbed into the body. (20)


Due to heat cholesterol oxidizes into new molecules like 7keto-cholesterol, 7beta-cholesterol, 5beta, 6beta-epoxycholesterol and 5alpha, 6alpha-epoxycholesterol. (20)

Unnatural oxy-cholesterols impair cell-membrane permeability, the functioning of LDL-receptors (causing hypercholesteremia), division of cholesterol among different cell-types, the synthesis of prostaglandin, and cause arteriosclerosis. (13) Excessive 7keto-Cholesterol-, 4alpha- and / or 7beta-hydroxycholesterol can cause vascular diseases (21).
