EGGS – ONE OF THE TOP TEN SO-CALLED SUPE
EGGS – ONE OF THE TOP TEN SO-CALLED SUPER FOODS TO NEVER EAT!
2) When it comes to U.S. egg farms, 90 percent of the country’s 280 million egg-laying hens are crammed into tiny cages so small that they can’t move, let along flap their wings. As the Human Society writes, “the science proves what common sense already told us: that animals confined in such an extreme way endure constant suffering.” And this also means potentially disgusting results on those eggs – hens in these conditions become sick, with open wounds and fecal matter dispersed all over their bodies quite often. Do you really want to contribute to this situation?
3) One word: cholesterol. Eggs are extremely high in cholesterol – about 186 mg per large egg –  and diets high in cholesterol is an indication of high acidic levels in the blood and tissues. High cholesterol is the body’s response to buffer the high levels of toxins or acids that can lead to heart problems. As PCRM explains, “every day, nearly 2,600 Americans die of some type of cardiovascular disease, an average of one death every 34 seconds, and 7.1 million Americans have had a heart attack during their lifetimes.” Do you really need eggs in your diet, knowing you can help cut this acid killer from your life just by eliminating your intake or eggs (among other animal proteins)?
4) For athletic fuel, plant-based alkalizing protein is the way to go. The Huffington Post article states, “Keep in mind that you don’t have to limit egg consumption to breakfast. Make hard-boiled eggs ahead of time and keep them on hand for snacks — eggs are a great fuel source before a run.”  Check out these awesome athletes who will show you that don’t need animal protein to fuel a workout. And there are plenty of cleaner, plant-based alkaline foods that can fuel your protein needs to choose from, such as avocado, broccoli and hemp. Why grab an egg, which can actually hurt you and also contributes to animal suffering?
5) Not a big fan of food chemical or acid poisoning? Then stay away from eggs and diary. PCRM explains that eggs can be a host for contamination: “Porous and fragile shells and crowded egg farms allow eggs to become the perfect host for salmonella, the leading cause of food poisoning in the United States.” Add this to the conditions described in reason #2 above, and you’ve got yourself one big cesspool of potential illness…….
