While some persons concerned with cholesterol levels determine to cut out all eggs from the diet, that is the wrong decision, according to McCharen. Studies show that the egg is not only 22 percent lower in cholesterol than previously thought but it also con tributes an average of four percent of saturated fat in the diet Reducing saturated fat and exer cise are shown to be the most effective controls of cholesterol in the blood stream, McCharen said. In a recent control study of 25 men who woe in good health, each was put on a controlled diet for eight weeks with the only dietary change of eating zero to four eggs a week.

The only significant change, and that was mimimal, was in going from zero to four eggs Genetics probably is the under lying risk, with obesity also play ing a major role in cholesterol buil tup in the blood, McCharen said of the ongoing research. She stessed the importance of considering an egg as a replace ment to one ounce of meat when observing dietary guidelines. “Eggs are the most versatile in cooking and the cheapest source of high quality protein,” McCharen said. “An egg contains every vita min but Vitamin C, and is consid ered nutrient dense.” Eggs have a positive future as poultry producers are finding new ways to change the fatty content of an egg by changing chicken feed. The Lancaster County Poultry Association sponsors die annual dinner for home economists so that the teachers can translate their findings to students important consumers who need to be edu cated on food sources.
