Estrogen-like or carcinogenic precocious puberty in children
The World Health Organization and the United Nations have long stated that estrogen-like hormones may cause various diseases in the human body and cause endocrine imbalance, such as cancer (breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, thyroid cancer, etc.), decreased reproductive ability, infertility, Nervous system disorders, precocious puberty in children, diabetes, etc. Research data also points out that pregnant women, infants, developing children and adolescents are groups more susceptible to the effects of endocrine disruptors (such as estrogen-like hormones).
Eating raw eggs increases risk of salmonella infection
Annie Li, a nutritionist accredited by the Hong Kong Dietitian Society (HKNS), said that many people think that if they have high cholesterol, they should eat less eggs, or only eat egg whites without eggs, because egg yolks contain cholesterol. In fact, the yolk of eggs has little effect on the cholesterol in blood lipids. On the contrary, eggs are very rich in nutrients, including all essential amino acids for the body, vitamins A, D, choline, etc. The real increase in bad cholesterol that affects blood lipids is foods containing saturated fat and trans fat, such as fried foods.
Mr. Du Weiliang, CEO of Vitargent, concluded that eggs are rich in nutritional value and can provide many nutrients needed by the human body, such as vitamins B12, D, E, minerals, folic acid and omega-3 fatty acids.
However, it should be noted that the human body mainly relies on pepsin and trypsin in the small intestine to digest and absorb the protein in eggs. The egg white in raw eggs contains an antitrypsin substance that hinders the digestion and absorption of protein. Only cooked protein is easier for the body to absorb. Moreover, eating raw eggs may increase the risk of salmonella infection, especially in infants, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems. Therefore, the public should avoid eating uncooked eggs.
