Eggs Contribute To Balanced Diet
The two-eggs-a-day routine
generally observed by Ameri
cans may be the correct diet af
ter ail, suggests Dr. F. A. Kum
mcrow. in a recent issue of The
Merck Agricultural Memo, dis
tributed ns a service by Merck
Chemical Division. Rahway. N.J.
In Ins article, "The Role of
Egg Cholesterol in Atheroscler
osis." Dr Kummerow' said that
it is possible to assume opti
mum nutrition by building a diet
around animal protein sources
such as milk, meat and eggs
These foods provide all the nu
trients except vitamin A Add
vegetables fruits, cereals, and
bread to the diet for an ade
quate protein, vitamin and ca
loric intake, he said Eggs serve
as an important source of pro
tein in the American diet

Advertising is the most eco
nomical and efficient means of
getting facts about new pioducts
to the general public
position of lipids in the arteries.
Lipids are cholesterol and
other fat-like materials essential
to the structure of all cell mem
branes. They are manufactured
in the body from dietary fate,
carbohydrates, or proteins in
foods. An egg contains about 400-
to 500 mg of cholesterol.
It has been argued that choles
terol in eggs becomes a part of
and adds to the total cholesterol
in the serum of one who eats
eggs, Dr Kummerow said.
Whether or not this is harmful
depends on at least two factors
Does the cholesterol from eggs
overburden the lipid-carrying
capacity of the blood? And, is
the cholesterol found in an egg
compatible with the cholesterol
normally piesent in the blood?
In answer to the first question.
Dr Kummerow said that “if
one assumes that all of the cho
lesterol m the egg is absorbed
into the blood, which m a normal
human amounts to four to five
liters, the serum cholesterol lev
el would increase only lOmg %
However, not all of the choles
terol is absorbed and most of
'the cholesterol that is absorbed

is converted into cholic acid in
the liver and excreted. Further
more. the serum cholesterol lev
el is known to fluctuate' during a
24-hour period by as much as 20
mg.%. Therefore, the increase of
20 mg.%. which the daily con
sumption of two eggs would sup
ply, is of no significance to the
overall serum cholesterol level.”
Addressing himself to the com
patibility of the cholesterol, he
said: “The cholesterol in an egg
yolk is also combined or earned
in the egg as hproprotem There
fore. it is consumed with the
protein and all of the essential
‘carrier protein’ is available for
resynthesis into hproprotem in
the body.”
The prevention of cholesterol
buildup depends on controlling
the mechanism responsible for
hproprotem stabilization in the
blood serum Dietary fat is no
more to blame for the gam in
weight than an excessive intake
of any other dietary component,
he reported It is far more im
portant to exercise regulai ly and
to eat an adequate calorie-bal
anced diet, Dr. Kummerow con
