Janice Stanger, Ph.D., author of The Perfect Formula Diet discusses the Seven Dangers of Eating Eggs with us today.
It’s Not Just the Cholesterol That Scrambles Your Health. One of my most stomach-churning childhood experiences was cracking an egg for cooking and finding a partially formed chick fetus inside. I screamed in horror and threw it in the trash. No one else was in the kitchen with me. I learned at that point that it’s pointless to ask “which came first, the chicken or the egg?”
The Perfect Formula Diet has its roots in a normal-weight teen who thought she was chubby and gross. Her love-hate relationship with food intensified over the years, culminating in binge eating and mounting obesity.
As an adult, although highly educated and working in the health industry, this mom could not control her weight or her health. She struggled constantly with food cravings, headaches, chronic pain and sinus infections, depression, yo-yo weight, and oppressive fatigue.
Inspired by her daughters, who were launching into adolescence with strong wills and their own eating path, she looked at what science had to say about food. Pure science, that is, without the media hype and profit-driven special interests.
Dr. Janice Stanger – once that food- and weight-obsessed teen – analyzed over 1,000 scientific studies to formulate this eating plan.
