Can’t eat eggs and soy milk together? You must know these 5 truths about eggs!

During the stay-at-home period, every refrigerator you open will contain eggs! Not only are they nutritious and delicious, but they are also very convenient!

Even if you can't tell the difference between salt and sugar, as long as you can boil water, you can cook it!

Even if it is an ingredient that people dislike (such as bitter melon), as long as you add eggs, the taste experience will instantly soar by several degrees!

Steaming, frying, stir-frying, or braising, no matter which cooking method you use, as long as you know how to cook, eggs can successfully please your taste buds!

As the saying goes, "The more famous you are, the more gossip you will have." Even if you are an "egg" that people can't help but love, you will inevitably encounter criticism!

Today, with the help of Professor Zhiyong Rao from the Department of Clinical Nutrition at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, I will clarify the following five rumors about eggs! (ps: At the end of the article, I also note 2 tips on how to eat eggs healthily. Welcome to bookmark, like and forward!)

✅The truth: The nutritional value of local eggs and foreign eggs is the same!

Although the yolks of local eggs appear to be significantly larger than those of foreign eggs, there is not much difference between the two in terms of nutritional content, especially in terms of protein and vitamins.

Therefore, all eggs are good eggs, so don’t treat them differently!

✅The truth: The digestion and absorption rate of fully cooked eggs is significantly higher than that of raw eggs!

The digestion and absorption rate of cooked eggs is higher than 97% , while the digestion and absorption rate of raw eggs is only about 50% .

Therefore, soft-boiled eggs are definitely not as easy to absorb as fully-cooked eggs, and soft-boiled eggs are semi-liquid, which means that the sterilization temperature has not been reached.

Eggs are a type of food that is easily contaminated by bacteria, including Salmonella. Eating them raw or eating eggs that are not completely solidified may lead to food hygiene problems and may easily lead to Salmonella infection.

By the same token, the statement that "eating raw eggs is more nutritious" is also incorrect.

✅The truth: The nutritional value of eggs has nothing to do with the color of the eggshell!

The color of eggs depends mainly on the breed of chicken, not on the nutritional value of the chicken or how it is raised.

Therefore, no matter whether it is a red egg, a white egg, or a brown egg, there is no difference in nutrition or taste as long as you peel off the shell!

✅The truth: As long as the cholesterol is not particularly high, adults should try to eat a whole egg every day.

Although the cholesterol content in an egg yolk is close to 300 mg, which is indeed relatively high, it does not mean that people with high cholesterol cannot eat it at all.

After all, the less than 300 mg of cholesterol in the egg yolk will not be absorbed by you.

Because the body's absorption of cholesterol is related to the type of food. For example, if we eat dietary fiber or coarse grains, the body's absorption of cholesterol will be reduced.

Doctor's advice

① As long as your cholesterol is not particularly high, you should generally eat a whole egg a day;

② If your cholesterol is particularly high, limit your intake appropriately. It is okay to eat a little more occasionally. But you should also limit your intake of other foods high in cholesterol, such as animal offal, red meat, shrimp, etc.

✅Truth: Eggs and soy milk can be consumed together.

Probably each of us has grown up hearing the old saying that "eating eggs and soy milk together will cause indigestion", right?

But in fact, it won’t!

The only thing to worry about when eating soy milk and eggs together is that both of them are foods with high protein content, so if you only eat these two things, the utilization rate of the protein is relatively low.

Doctor's advice

When eating eggs and soy milk, you can also eat some staple food, such as adding some carbohydrates, which will help improve the utilization rate of protein.

The rumor refutation is over!

2 tips on eating eggs~

Alas, although my favorite way to eat eggs is: scrambled eggs!

As a science editor, I still have to tell you honestly from a health perspective: although scrambled eggs are delicious, they are still a little oily compared to boiled ones!

Therefore, it is recommended that when frying eggs, try to choose a cooking method that uses less oil and lower heating temperature.

Of course, if possible, it is best to cook eggs by boiling or steaming them, which will be healthier!

When choosing eggs, whether they are big or heavy doesn’t actually make much difference to the quality of the eggs!

The most important thing is: are the eggs fresh enough? Have they gone bad?

After all, no matter how nutritious an egg is, if it is spoiled and no longer fresh, it is a "bad egg"!

Especially since we are staying at home recently, don’t buy too much at once for fear of having nothing to eat, which would otherwise be wasted if you don’t have time to eat it.

When buying eggs, we should still adhere to the principle of buying as many as we eat. At the same time, we must put them in the refrigerator in time when we get home!
