I listened to this awhile ago. Good stuff! But you really should go over to Jimmy Moore's site and answer a question that was asked in the comments by one of the listeners. :-)
Does exposing egg yolks to high heat (as with scrambled eggs) significantly oxidize the cholesterol? How does this fit into oxidized-LDL theory of atherosclerosis?
I believe it takes long periods of time for high heat to oxidize significant quantities of cholesterol from what I have seen. I am talking about oxidation of LDL membrane PUFAs within the body, not consumption of oxidized cholesterol. I need to do some research to understand the conflicting things I've seen on consumption of oxidized cholesterol.
I know this is an old post, but...you state "I need to do some research to understand the conflicting things I've seen on consumption of oxidized cholesterol".
Can you comment on this now or point me in the right direction? I have tried searching your site to find the answer but have not been able to.
