Egg and Liver

Published

My new husband eats 2 eggs everyday. I was telling him that too much egg is not safe for your liver. He can't believe me. Is there any scientific reason behind it that I can explain it to him? Infact he thinks because I am a nurse, I am so protective about him. Please help me :(

Eggs won't hurt you nor increase your cholesterol as long as you get adequate excercise! If your hubby is a couch potato on the other hand, 2 eggs daily is not such a good idea.

PPl in the "old days" used to eat what they call a "settin' of eggs" everyday, and they were FINE... because they chased cattle up and down hills all day, plowed, farmed, etc.

Inactivity is the real cholesterol issue/problem IMHO. :)
