Eat eggs ten do not But this little egg, we really will eat? 1, do not discard the yolk The overall nutritional value of the yolk far exceeds that of the egg white, which is the essence of egg nutrition. Eggs do contain more cholesterol, but the latest version of the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents 2016 canceled the previous dietary cholesterol limit, arguing that there is no evidence that more dietary cholesterol can lead to high blood cholesterol or heart disease. 2, do not eat too many eggs Although the general population to eat 1 or more eggs per day will not lead to increased risk of cardiovascular disease or diabetes, but do not eat too much. If dairy, meat and fish intake is insufficient, you can eat more eggs instead of part. 3, do not eat raw eggs Raw eggs are not easy to digest, but also contains substances that are not conducive to the digestion and absorption of protein and biotin (a vitamin), and also unhygienic, prone to bacterial contamination. 4, do not boil overcooked or fried overcooked Boiled or fried, are the most common way of cooking eggs, remember not overcooked.

If this substance is not destroyed, it will not specifically for eggs, but affects all food proteins, including soy milk itself contains protein. 10, do not ignore the egg allergy A study of food for Chinese children aged 3 to 12 years old showed that 8.4% of children have food allergies, of which the largest number of people allergic to eggs, accounting for more than half of all allergic people.
