Believe it or not, the yolk is the healthiest part of an egg.<\/p>\n

Throwing out the yolk and just eating mostly egg whites makes sense if you\u2019re trying to limit fat intake, or reduce calories\u2026 but do NOT be afraid of eating egg yolks from farm fresh or cage-free eggs<\/u>.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re the most nutrient dense, antioxidant-rich, vitamin and mineral loaded portion of the egg.<\/p>\n

Yolks contain B-vitamins, trace minerals, folate, choline, lutein, EVERY one of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K\u2026. as well as\u00a0ALL of the essential fatty acids (EFAs).<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re concerned about the cholesterol, don\u2019t be. It has recently been PROVEN that the cholesterol in the diet doesn\u2019t really raise the cholesterol in blood.<\/p>\n

In fact, whole eggs have been shown to raise the GOOD cholesterol and therefore, they are NOT associated with increased risk of heart disease [5,6].<\/p>\n

Whole eggs are one of the healthiest foods on the planet; just make sure you cook them in healthy oil, like coconut.<\/strong><\/p>\n
