Hi there! My name is Devon and I'm 16 years old. I joined PETA because I hate animal abuse and the whole slaughterhouse and inhumane things that go on there. Currently vegetarian, but going in the vegan direction! I love the Beatles, Wings, and Paul McCartney in general. I became vegetarian as a mix between honoring the late Linda McCartney and loving animals. Don't be afraid to talk to me!

Study: Egg yolk health risks similar to smoking
8 months ago
Eggs are considered by some to be a ‘superfood,’ full of protein, vitamins and fatty acids. However, a new study suggests the cholesterol in egg yolks is almost as dangerous as smoking cigarettes, Fox 31 Denver reported.
Researchers found that eating egg yolks regularly increased plaque buildup approximately two-thirds as much as smoking would.
Using data from more than 1200 people in London, it appeared those who ate three or more egg yolks a week had significantly more plaque in their arteries than those who ate less.
“One large egg has 100 calories, 230 milligrams of cholesterol in the yolk,” registered dietician Jessica Crandall with Denver Wellness and Nutrition in Englewood told Fox Denver.
She said people should have no more than 300 milligrams of cholesterol a day, but added there’s conflicting research on whether eggs affect people’s cholesterol levels.
The study did not take into account factors such as exercise, waist size and genetics.
