DESCRIPTION: Egg industry claims about egg safety found to be patently false, misleading, and deceptive by the U.S. Court of Appeals.
I shared some of my other Freedom of Information Act finds in my last egg video, Eggs vs. Cigarettes in Atherosclerosis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eggs-...).
I've also explored the presence of carcinogenic chemicals in eggs (Heterocyclic Amines in Eggs, Cheese, and Creatine? http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heter...), carcinogenic viruses (Carcinogenic Retrovirus Found in Eggs, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/carci...), industrial pollutants (Food Sources of Perfluorochemicals, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-... and Food Sources of PCB Chemical Pollutants, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-...), the eggborne annual epidemic of Salmonella (Total Recall, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/total...), arachidonic acid (Chicken, Eggs, and Inflammation, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chick...), misleading claims about eyesight nutrients (Egg Industry Blind Spot, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/egg-i...), and, of course, cholesterol (Egg Cholesterol in the Diet, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/egg-c... and What Women Should Eat to Live Longer, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-...). To my surprise, though, eggs are actually not the most concentrated dietary source of cholesterol. See Avoiding Cholesterol Is a No Brainer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/avoid...).
Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/http:... and he'll try to answer it!
