Study: Eggs lead to Diabetes
Eggs aren't that good for you... go figure. Not only that, but there is a direct correlation between eating eggs and a higher risk for diabetes... milk/dairy and now eggs...
It seems that a Harvard study now shows that egg consumption is really bad for people that already have Diabetes, and increases the risk of developing it for people who don't have it yet.
From a Macro standpoint - I believe that this is kind of how it works... Eggs are one of the most yang/contracting things we can eat. I mean - its a whole chicken compacted into a tiny egg!
So, eating eggs really contracts us (gives me tight shoulders and neck, personally), and I think it also is really hard on the pancreas.
The pancreas is the organ responsible for creating insulin (amongst other things), so after really crunching it over time, it doesn't work so well. Lots of sweets and baked foods exacerbate the effects.
Macro is all inclusive to a certain extent, so eating eggs is not a "bad" thing... particularly if you have a balanced diet already. That being said, they are so extreme on the yin/yang scale that you will need to work to balance it.
This is even more important for people that are overweight, have a history of eating sweets AND have eaten alot of eggs in their life.
Bottom line - take care of your body, and be mindful of what you eat!
"Specialists at Harvard Medical School in Boston found eating an egg every day - a habit for about five per cent of people - may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes by about 60 per cent."source: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=670054
