I eat both, since the proteins in white are better assimilated with the fats in the yolks. You shouldn't eat the parts separately, because egg is one entity and therefore more healthy like an entity.

One of the things the doctor told me is that folks like me, if we cut out too much fat, our liver go into a "starvation alert" mode and begins pumping out serum cholesterol.

Go with what your body tells you.

Heya;

One way I like to prepare eggs and toast at the same time.

Take your favorite sliced bread (I like whole wheat or rye) tear an egg sized hole in the middle and put all the pieces of bread down on a hot, buttered griddle or skillet. Crack your eggs and put one each in the hole in the bread. Brush the top of the bread with a little melted butter. Fry a little, flip and finish cooking.

I like mine over easy.

You end up with the egg and bread kind of melding, plus you have that bit from the middle for sopping up yolk.

If you were to discard any part of the egg, it should be the white, and not the yolk. My custard recipe only calls for the yolks, and it turns out extra yummy!

Egg whites are not digestible raw, but you can eat egg yolks raw if you wish. My brother in law 15 years ago was a body builder, and he would eat 4-6 egg whites raw a day. Apparently, he would be in the bathroom accumulatively for hours, and leave it noxiously and putridly smelly. It's because his body could not digest the protein raw. If you give a dog raw egg whites, they vomit it right up for the same reason.

Our bodies need much more saturated fats, and cholesterol than the media and medical industry tells us. They can't tell us otherwise because they would be having to retract 50+ years of advertising. The loss to the companies that make money off of low fat, egg free mantras would probably lose billions altogether. So, of course they will keep up the facade.
