"I heard...", BUT is it true?...

Hello, as I have been introduced by our chef a few weeks ago, thought I should make an appearance (finally..haha)
ok, as many of you have heard about the many health claims nowadays and the "you should eat this" or "I heard we shouldn't eat that..", well...let's take a look at how many of these are actually true...hmm....

~Eating too many eggs will raise your cholesterol
egg yolks contain cholesterol but this is dietary cholesterol and only has a small influence on
your blood cholesterol compared to the saturated fat in your diet. eggs are a good source of
protein, Vitamin B12 and monounsaturated fat. eating 4-5 eggs a week is unlikely to harm
you.

~Chocolate is a health food
As much as all you out there would love to hear that the is a truth, well, hehe...actually...
Although cocoa beans used in chocolate contain flavanoids (which has been shown to reduce
LDL["bad"] cholesterol and enhance HDL ["good"] cholesterol. BUT....chocolate still isn't good
for you. it contains 15-20% saturated fat and usually lots of sugar. however, don't worry,
small quantities won't harm you, so as long as you don't scoff down that whole cadbury king
size bar...it's ok.

Alright, I think that's me for now...

Watch out for more food myths from me next time...
