Are eggs good to health?

Eggs are one of nature's most perfectly balanced foods, containing all the protein, vitamins (except vitamin C) and minerals essential for good health.

Today's large egg contains only a moderate amount of fat, with about 5 grams in only the egg yolk, (1.5 grams saturated), 213 mg of cholesterol and 75 calories. Eggs can easily fit into your daily fat limit.

Eggs:

Do you know that eggs have little amount of nutritional value? They are totally deficient in carbohydrates. The eggs are full of poisonous and harmful elements. Egg is the cause of several serious diseases; the high cholesterol content increases the risk of heart disease. The hens eat sputum, phlegm, nose secretions, worms, germs and other such filthy things. The eggs are produced from these things. Can egg increase the mental and intellectual quality of a person?

The following facts prove that egg is very low, dirty and the biggest enemy of health when compared to other food products. Eggs have lowest amount of nutritional elements:

1. Protein : Dals 22-25%; Eggs 13.3%; Paneer 24.1%; Separata Milk powder 38%; Soybean 43.2%

Eggs contain high amounts of cholesterol, which causes high blood pressure and kidney problems. Frying an egg increases its cholesterol level further. Heart specialist Dr. col. K.L.Chopda and Dr. K.K.Agarwal say that the yoke of egg contains 220 mg cholesterol, which is dangerous for the heart. Nobel prize winner Dr. Brown and Dr.Goldstin have proved that eggs contain high amount of cholesterol and hence increase the risk of heart attack.

DDT poison:

30 per cent of the eggs contain DDT poison. This causes cancer, this was discovered by Lorida, America's agricultural department.

Evidin:

The egg white contains Evidin, which causes eczema and paralysis.

Acid:

The eggs contain nitrogen and phosphoric acid, which produces acidic substances in the body, which makes the person diseased.

Infectious bacteria:

The upper layer of the egg contains 15000 micro holes. The infectious bacteria entering the egg through these pores - salmonella, shigola and Staphylococci. these bacteria are responsible for disease of the intestines, due to which thousands of Indians die every year. Several thousands of people in England became the victims of a poisonous epidemic only because of salmonella bacteria.

Egg generates kapha:

According to a German professor Egtur Burg, Egg is responsible for generating 51.83 per cent of phlegm, which imbalance the nutrition's in the body and become the abode of dieses.

Eggs are not easily digestible:

Bile and pancreatic juices of egg are ineffective on egg white. Therefore 30 to 50 per cent of egg is excreted without being digested. This is the view of Professor Akoda of England.

Decay of food in the stomach:

According to Dr. E.V. Mekkalam the eggs do not contain carbohydrates and the amount of calcium is also very low, hence it decays in the stomach.

Eggs contain very less amount of vitamins: eggs contain very little quantity of iron, magnesium and vitamins. Especially vitamin B complex and vitamin C.

Egg causes diseases in any form:

Prof of microbiology in the university college of medicine, Dr. V.Talwad says that egg causes different types of disease whether eaten raw or in any other form.

Hens have lot of diseases:

The hens are carriers of bacteria and germs responsible for diseases like T.B and infect the persons eating it. (Dr. Robert Grass)

Hens are subjected to torture:

The following methods of tortures are applied on hens in order to get more and faster production of eggs:

- The hens are given injections of special hormones for egg formulation.

- The male chickens are made to sit under the hot Sun and are not allowed to sleep to make them young quickly.

- More hens are fitted in to the farms, where they cannot flap their wings, they bite one another and get injured.

- The hens are forced to sit in the sheds through out the day.

- The wings and beaks are chopped off with the help of hot metallic instruments and machines. This hard truth was mentioned in the world-renowned book, height for a new America, written by John Robins.

- Is it not foolishness to eat eggs containing 13 per cent protein and sacrificing vegetable food items containing 22 to 43-pr cent protein?

- Is it not stupidity to eat eggs, which are responsible for generating serious diseases instead of nutritious and healthy vegetarian food.

- Is it good to eat eggs 173 calories or vegetarian food containing 327 to 432 calories?

- Are we not encouraging violence and cruelty by eating the poor creatures that are subjected to different kinds of cruelty?

Inspirational factors for quitting eggs:

Eating eggs and meat is against the Vedas:

ya aamam maamsamadanti paurusheyam ca ye kavih
garbhaan khadanti keshavaastanito nashayaamasi
- Atharva Veda 8.6.23

In other words "I destroy the people who eat meat and eggs."

Gandhiji's opinion:

The religion does not allow us to eat eggs and meat, "looking at the climate of our nation we should stop the consumption of eggs, meat and alcohol."

A scientist's opinion A scientist said that the people who eat eggs appear to be very healthy in the beginning were very proud of them, their health is artificial and they have to loose their good health very soon. They contract different types of disease and they have to consult doctors and ayurvedic practitioners in order to get back the lost health. (Kalyan 9/73, page 964)

Manusmriti:

anumantaa vishamsitaa nihantaa kraya vikrayi
samskartaa copahartaa va khadakashceti ghatakah

The person who advises to eat non-vegetarian food, the butcher, the buyer, the seller, the cook, and the person who brings it and the person who eats it are all dangerous, killers and sinners.

We consider the above-mentioned facts seriously and decide that we should eat healthy, disease curing, more nutritious and pious vegetarian food so that we remain healthy, happy and livelong. We should not eat the meat obtained in a cruel manner by cutting the beaks and wings of the birds, which is less nutritious and disease causing food. We should not make our bodies malicious and make the mind impure and polluted.

Now the decision is yours whether to consider egg is a healthy food or it is unhealthy and against Hinduism.
