Re: [UUPoly-L] Eggs!?!?!?

[Brigitte Fires <brigittefires@gmail.com>]

People who are trying to avoid animal products, reduce cholesterol*,
and feel that most chickens are treated horrendously would feel it's a
VERY important thing. We all have different priorities, and I feel
it's important to avoid making comments that minimalize the worth of
someone else's opinions.

* Mind you, it's been shown that eating eggs regularly actually helps
reduce cholesterol. Eggs don't have a lot of dietary cholesterol,
they're a complete protein (meaning they don't need other foods to
create a protein source), and it's been proven that dietary
cholesterol has very little impact on overall LDL levels. Also, they
have enzymes that break down more cholesterol than they have in them.
