| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg |
| 0:08.0 | takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:21.5 | Today we're going to talk about the difference between the egg yolk and the egg white. |
| 0:26.0 | There's a lot of people that just are eating the whites and they're shooting the yolks away, |
| 0:31.2 | thinking that the yolks are unhealthy because it's going to clog the arteries because it's so much fat. |
| 0:36.0 | Well, that is a big mistake because most of the good nutrition is in the yolk. |
| 0:42.8 | Egg yolks are loaded with cholesterol, but here's the thing, that cholesterol will not clog your |
| 0:50.1 | arteries. In fact, it's not going to increase your own body's cholesterol. When you increase the |
| 0:55.2 | dietary cholesterol, guess what? Your body makes less. So if you take a look at all the cholesterol |
| 1:02.3 | that's in someone's body, 75% of it is actually made by the body. Only 25% comes from your diet. |

| 1:38.7 | soluble vitamins, vitamin A, D, E, and K2. Also egg yolks contain trace minerals, B12, |
| 1:48.9 | folate, which is really important to prevent DNA damage and does a lot of other things as well. |
| 1:56.3 | Fossil lipids, which help support the membranes of your cells and calcium. Then we have |
| 2:05.9 | immunoglobulins, IgY, and basically these are antibodies. So these greatly help your immune system, |
| 2:15.5 | especially in their gut. And there's some very interesting research I put the links down below |
| 2:20.8 | that they're even concentrating this antibody and giving it to people who have certain gut diseases. |
| 2:27.8 | And getting pretty good success. It's also great for antibiotic resistance. This is why the egg yolks |
| 2:33.5 | are really beneficial. If someone is, I don't know, run down or they're sick, eggs are a really good |
