Eggs - healthy or not?

Eggs are in the news again. Is it good news this time or bad news?

Well--it's both.

Yet again, eggs are confusing us all by being nutritious, but associated with certain health risks.

According to recent studies, the news looks good if you're a woman trying to avoid breast cancer; not quite so good if you're a middle aged man who eats more than one a day.

I grew up with the idea that eggs were a healthy way to get protein for breakfast.

Then came the news they had Bad Cholesterol, and many health-conscious folks like me started to avoid them.

Then researchers figured out that the cholesterol in the eggs wasn't all that problematic, and eggs started to look like a great convenient choice again.

I probably eat about 7 eggs a week myself, the kind with a bit of an Omega-3 boost, and don't plan to stop.

B3 vitamin - Is it really essential ??

B3—also known as niacin, vitamin P, or vitamin PP—helps release energy from nutrients.
It can reduce cholesterol and prevent and treat arteriosclerosis, among other benefits.
Too little B3 can result in pellagra, a disease with symptoms that include sunburn, diarrhea, irritability, swollen tongue, and mental confusion.
Too much B3 can result in liver damage.
Food sources rich in niacin are chicken, salmon, tuna, liver, nuts, dried peas, enriched cereals, and dried beans.
No more than 14-18 mg per day for adults.
Good health...
