I eat about 3 eggs a day and they dont effect my acne in anyway. Good job because i love them

[Release the Stars]

yup... eggs do aggravate acne, make you face fall of AND sometimes, i think one in 4 million get EI AIDS (Egg Induced Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) So run to your mothers cuz you should be afraid.

I think eggs are good in moderation... 2 or 3 times a week.... not everyday... I find if I eat too many... may just be a coincedence butthis is what I see happening.... I break out around my nose and my cheeks right beside my nose...weird.

I started eating a boiled egg for breakfast instead of toast a few weeks ago and I have found I have the exact same reaction!^ I have stopped eating eggs for breakfast to see if my latest breakout is from the eggs

[AlexGF]

so what should I do/eat in order to counterbalance this salmonella bacteria if I ingest it

I won't stop eating eggs.. I still cook the white.. the yolk just drop it in the pan for a few seconds so the egg white around it gets cooked.. and I have my runny egg yolk ready to be spread in bacon!

Just to clear up some misconceptions:

1. Dietary cholesterol doesn't have much of an effect on blood cholesterol. Also note that most heart attack patients have normal levels of cholesterol; perhaps this says that we should worry about other things if we want to prevent heart disease.

2. The egg yolk is the most nutritious part of the egg and there's no reason to not eat them. My philosophy is to not eat today what you wouldn't have been able to eat thousands of years ago; if you lived thousands of years ago, do you think you would have taken the time to carefully remove the egg yolk before eating the egg?

3. Egg allergies are fairly common, and if you have one than there's a good chance eggs will mess up your digestion and/or your skin.

4. There's no food that you should only limit to once-twice a week. If a food is truly healthy for you, you should be able to eat it every single day without problems. If eggs break you out if you eat them too often, then that doesn't mean you should only eat them once a week; it means you should probably just go ahead and cut them out. Now obviously if you eat two dozen eggs in a sitting, that shouldn't count; but if you break out from eating just 2 eggs every day, then that's reason to discontinue your consumption of eggs.

I've been eating two boiled eggs for breakfast for 2-3 weeks and I'm fine

It's a great breakfast and makes my mood better at work

[AlexGF]

well I've been asking people how many times they eat eggs a week and most of them say twice or once... can't blieve people are missing out such great source of nutrients! and they answer " I don't want to mess up my cholesterol.."

[EddieE]

hm dang time to eat eggs 2-3 times a week.




I buy the organic brown eggs , %100 vegetarian fed.


hopefully is good.

[acnejean]

i ate them everyday for breakfast for a week and didn't notice a difference in my skin. i don't think it will make you break out.

and "brown" eggs doesn't have any difference in nutrition then white eggs.

Its tradition for me to eat 4 whole eggs every morning, no exceptions. I make eggs even when I'm on vacation. They have a lot of vitamins and I think they are perfect food, except when you are completely sure you have eggs allergy.

Don't make hard-boiled eggs because they are difficult to digest. Instead of that you can make scrambled eggs with broccoli, carrots and other vegetables + some spices and extra virgin olive oil. Tasty, healthy and good for everybody - acne-suffers, bodybuilders, etc.

I tried raw eggs only for 3 days (something like 2-3 whole raw eggs and 1-2 raw egg whites per day), and they make me sick: stomach-aches, diarrhea, etc. So I wouldn't recommend to consume raw eggs despite the benefits of raw food.

[Acneminator]

haha i hate eggs . they make me break out for nothing ..damn nit

[CottonCandi]

I LOVE eggs. Just not runny eggs.

I only eat organic eggs from grain fed chickens, they taste the best! Brown eggs taste better than white for some reason.

Also, yes, the risk of salmonella in organic eggs is way less than regular eggs. Organic farmers take care of their animals and let them run free, and don't pump them full of hormones and antibiotics. Regular eggs are from chickens who are squished into tiny crates and get sick all the time.

I eat raw eggs religiously, because they cured me of acne.

The cis-13-retinoic acid in the yolk is what Accutane comes from, as I understand it.

Anyway...I eat about 6 to 8 eggs per day, raw or cooked, depending on my mood and whether I have time to sit and cook them.

I'd be a pimply mess if it were not for eggs!

theres studies saying eating whole raw eggs is not a good idea contrary to what many of us believed..

soft boiling may be your best best..

The human body cannot digest raw egg whites completely. Avidin is found in raw egg whites and blocks the uptake of Vitamin B6 (Biotin) causing a vitamin deficiency. You have to cook the egg white to neutralize the Avidin and allow your body to digest the protein and utilize all of the Amino acids.

there used to be the belief that the yolk contained enough biotin to bind to all the avidin present in the raw whites..but its not true..i consumed raw eggs everyday for many years until I learned about this..heres a good article on it if your interested..

I dont believe eggs are bad for acne..you are consuming a whole animal..they are natures perfect food.

[Glass Danse]

Not me, I usually eat at least 8 a day, love them.

[meat_pirate86]

Heck yes Glass Danse, eggs are soooo good. I really hope they aren't bad for us!

[daxxx]

I think eggs are great, especially because they are a good breakfast alternative in the morning, instead of eating unhealthy cereals with dairy that will break me out, or some other sugary crap.

I was on a diet once for my acne and it claimed cooked proteins are bad for acne. Since egg is FULL of protein, then a cooked egg, according to this diet (Wai diet) is bad for acne. However, a raw egg yolk is extremely good for your skin as it is packed full of uncooked protein, which is good. So I don't think there is an answer to this question really, beause there is no evidence that diet affects acne.

You should definitely do more research; because what we eat and put into our bodies (our DIET) is without a doubt a cause for very many acne sufferers. If your body cannot process or digest certain foods, they get thrown into the blood stream and treated as toxins by your immune system. Western dermatologists have yet to say that they think diet is related to acne, but they are so far behind in figuring out the root causes of acne, that they actually end up doing more damage to most people than good. They simply write out a perscription - usually in less than a minute of conversing with the patient - for antibiotics or accutane (which does not work for many people; often when the cause of their acne is linked to their DIET). Antibiotics are HORRIBLE for anyone and everyone. They impair your immune system, and can make your body very sick. Whenever people get taken off of the antibiotics, their acne often comes back with a vengeance; or their body begins to work over the meds and flare up as it gets used to them.

All in all, there is a plethora of information available today to help you decide if your acne may be linked to something you all are eating, that your body simply treats as a foriegn object (allergies or intolerances). There has also been extensive research on the milk/acne connection for most people; even those who do not have classical 'acne'. I encourage you all to educate yourselves, and try to find the root of your particular case!
