Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Well, it's the egg, and we're going to talk about why. I mean, even some of the pharmaceutical

companies right now are looking at ways of extracting certain proteins from eggs and using them

in pharmaceuticals because of the wide spectrum of benefits. They isolated over 1,500 different

unique proteins in eggs, and these proteins have a wide variety of functions, including support

of your immune system, anti-microbial, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory. There's a whole list of

benefits. So let's dive right in. So what is an egg? Well, you have the yellow part of an egg,

for the actual egg, the yolk. And so what's so special about the egg? It's very different

in other sources of protein. Most other sources of protein are muscle tissue. Well, an egg is an

embryo, and the quality of nutrition in eggs is just off the charts. It has a higher quality

amino acids than any other protein out there except breast milk. And it has probably one of the most

diverse bands of nutrients of any other proteins, as well as the bile availability of nutrients.

It has pretty much all of the fat-civil vitamins. It is virtually all water-civil vitamins,

and that's what I'm doing, or get eggs from the farmer's market. Because depending on the diet
