I thought we could discuss our eating habits regarding whole eggs vs only the whites, or Albumen, and whether consuming Albumen is indeed healthy.

This is what has been served at Denny’s for years and has tasted great. Little did we know, or really wanted to know, but we were sucking down countless amounts of calories and cholesterol in meals that gave no benefit to our bodies.

Do you like Albumen? Does the debate change your mind either way?Egg White is Bad for Your Health
you are probably one of those health enthusiasts who discard egg yolks and eat only egg whites. Yes, although egg white is not actually bad for your health, it is far inferior to egg yolk in terms of providing you with essential nutrition.
Yes, most if not all health magazines and books claim that the humble egg yolk packs a nasty amount of fat and cholesterol but they rarely ever tell you that that is where almost all the nutrition in an egg is. Before you howl in violent protest to me for going against "conventional wisdom" of not eating egg yolks, let us explore some facts first.
