Beware, egg yolk could endanger the heart! - Although it contains many nutrients, eggs apparently also can be harmful to the heart. This is not only due to the cholesterol contained in eggs, but also a substance called lecithin in eggs.
Lecithin produce a chemical called TMAO when it interacts with bacteria in the gut. TMAO is known to be associated with increased risk of heart disease and stroke, as reported by NewSer.
As with other foods that contain a lot of fat and cholesterol, egg yolks contain a lot of lecithin. Here's what to watch out for, because too much lecithin will trigger many TMAO production in the body.
Researchers then tested the participants who were asked to eat a boiled egg. Some participants were asked to consume antibiotics to clear the bacteria in the stomach. Those who do not eat antibiotics showed increased production of TMAO.
The study, released two weeks earlier also suggests that red meat is similar to the yolk reacts when it interacts with bacteria in the stomach. Yet researchers have not provided an explanation of the solution from the results of this study. For a while, reduce the consumption of eggs could be one way to reduce the risk of heart disease.
