A researcher at Western University in London surveyed more than 1,200 people and found egg consumption accelerates atherosclerosis or plaque build up on arteries.




A researcher at Western University in London said he's found more evidence pointing to the harmful effects of egg yolks.

He claims the cholesterol found in the yolk is almost as dangerous as smoking.

Dr. David Spence says Canadians are being duped by what he calls "propaganda" from the egg industry.

His most recent study of more than 1,200 people found egg consumption accelerates atherosclerosis or plaque build up on arteries. He said the culprit is the cholesterol found in the yolk, which is 237 mgs in a jumbo egg.

"It's more than the cholesterol in a Hardee's monster thick burger which is two-thirds of a pound of beef, three slices of cheese and four slices of bacon," said Spence.

Karen Harvey is the nutrition officer with Egg Farmers of Canada and a registered dietitian. She stands by the safety of eating egg yolks on a daily basis.

"We have decades of clinical research demonstrating no link between egg consumption and an increased risk of heart disease," said Harvey.

Spence says, he's looked at that research and accuses the egg industry of being selective about what it shares with the public.

"They're just like the tobacco industry," he said. Canada's food guide lists two eggs as an alternative serving to meat.

Spence said that would be well over anyone's recommended daily intake of cholesterol.

Dear Achebe,

Please, If you see Ojukwu, tell him that his brothers and sisters are experiencing another Pogrom in Kano.

Tell Awolowo that Nigeria is preparing for another war.

Tell Zik that those things that made him cross the ocean 50 times seeking for peace is looming again.

Tell Yar'Adua that the amnesty he granted is causing wahala.

Tell Tafewa Balewa that his scions are carrying weapons against Nigeria.

Obviously you will not see Abacha but if you see any one that will see him, tell him that Almustapha is still in kirikiri prison and of course Alamesiyea has been released.

Tell MKO Abiola that another June 12 is looming and tell him that Nigeria's officials have extended to convicted criminals who are looting the nation dry.

Don't be disappointed on Nigeria dear Achebe just that THINGS HAS FALLEN APART, NIGERIA IS NO LONGER AT EASE AND THE ARROW OF GOD IS NOW POINTING SERIOUSLY @ NIGERIA, BECAUSE OF THE TROUBLE WITH NIGERIA, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE HAD A MAN OF THE PEOPLE LIKE YOU; INDEED THERE WAS A COUNTRY.

Aside from the cars, Stephen Keshi will also get a house in Abuja, Glo ambassadorship, $200,000 cash and his salary for the next 2 years from Mike Adenuga. All this is for winning the 2013 Orange African Cup of Nations.
