Another option is to add it as an ingredient to smoothies. If it's blended well, you won't even know it's there. I usually alternate between ground flax seed, oatmeal, wheat germ, wheat bran, etc...
Good idea...you can also add those egg whites in the carton (they are pasteurized) to smoothies for extra protein
I didn't think you could do that...but the egg whites reminds me of another oatmeal recipe...homemade pancakes/waffles. 1 cup of eggwhites 1 cup oats 1/2 cup cottage cheese some cinnamon some vanilla extract fruit of your choice blend it all and cook it. makes enough for 2.
i wouldn't put egg whites in my cherrios.. RESULTS: Foods of the fat group showed the highest amount of AGE content with a mean of 100+/-19 kU/g. High values were also observed for the meat and meat-substitute group, 43+/-7 kU/g. The carbohydrate group contained the lowest values of AGEs, better yet, throw the egg whites in trash.. with the MEAT J Am Diet Assoc. 2004 Aug;104(8):1287-91.Click here to read Links Erratum in: J Am Diet Assoc. 2005 Apr;105(4):647. Advanced glycoxidation end products in commonly consumed foods. Goldberg T, Cai W, Peppa M, Dardaine V, Baliga BS, Uribarri J, Vlassara H. Division of Experimental Diabetes and Aging, Department of Geriatrics, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY 10029, USA. OBJECTIVE: Advanced glycoxidation end products (AGEs), the derivatives of glucose-protein or glucose-lipid interactions, are implicated in the complications of diabetes and aging. The objective of this article was to determine the AGE content of commonly consumed foods and to evaluate the effects of various methods of food preparation on AGE production. DESIGN: Two-hundred fifty foods were tested for their content in a common AGE marker (epsilon)N-carboxymethyllysine (CML), using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on an anti-CML monoclonal antibody. Lipid and protein AGEs were represented in units of AGEs per gram of food. RESULTS: Foods of the fat group showed the highest amount of AGE content with a mean of 100+/-19 kU/g. High values were also observed for the meat and meat-substitute group, 43+/-7 kU/g. The carbohydrate group contained the lowest values of AGEs, 3.4+/-1.8 kU/g. The amount of AGEs present in all food categories was related to cooking temperature, length of cooking time, and presence of moisture. Broiling (225 degrees C) and frying (177 degrees C) resulted in the highest levels of AGEs, followed by roasting (177 degrees C) and boiling (100 degrees C). CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that diet can be a significant environmental source of AGEs, which may constitute a chronic risk factor for cardiovascular and kidney damage.
Great post, optionpoet. I believe the glycemic index is something science has only begun to earnestly understand. It is probably at least as important, and most likely more so, than pure calorie consumption. Science and cardiology has been so focused on free levels of cholesterol and fats, when they are probably not seeing the forest through the trees. If you look at some credible data, there is not a credible link between intake of cholesterol and cardiovascular disease - saturated fats, depending on one's level of physical activity, may or many not be a separate issue. Much disease, including cardiovascular conditions, are inflammatory in nature. Inflammation is probably the least appreciated aspect of human health, and most likely is involved in everything from rheumatoid arthritis, to cardiovascular conditions, to autoimmune disorders, as well as neurological disorders. A lot of healthy fats, such Omega3 and Omega6, are anti-inflammatory. The same is true of olive and other plant based fats. Cardiovascular disease is virtually unknown in many cultures that have incredibly high fat intake. On another note, a comprehensive study recently concluded that eating a large breakfast makes one statistically far less likely to be obese, or to be afflicted with diabetes or other blood sugar abnormalities.

You are FOS. a TON of evidence linking sat fat with heart disease. stick to trading and leave the nutritional advice to the exp[erts
Lookit. In scientific terms... Too much fucking is bad for you too...but you think i'm gonna stop because some random study says so? Point is nobody lives in a bubble. Weigh the pros and cons and make a decision. One that's not going to have anyone living in paranoia.
