leading authority on egg nutrition,
doesn’t like the bad rap given the
egg as the culprit of high
cholesterol.
“Dietary cholesterol does not
equal serum cholesterol,” she said.
“Dietary cholesterol has the least
impact on serum of any of the sour
ces studied.”
Her message is penetrating the
blockade that many people hold
toward eggs. 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. According the McCharen,
the study indicated that eggs are

not responsible for raising choles
terol levels. 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.

Association sponsors die annual

findings to students important
