red_stag88 Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Sod cholesterol, eat the things :thumbs: I think the cholesterol comes when you fry 'em. So boiled would be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 No, it is not true. All eggs contain cholesterol. Red, you are quite right that the method of cooking makes a lot of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I may be wrong but i thought that duck eggs contains more cholesterol than normal eggs from a hen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 My understanding is that ducks eggs contain more cholesterol than hens and geese eggs more than ducks. I can,t remember where i read this, but I,m sure its not just a "size of the egg" thing. Duck and goose eggs are much "richer" than chickens eggs.

Frank Posted April 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Thanks everyone for your opinions :blink: The man that told me about duck eggs having no cholestrol, had a heart attack about 3 years ago and was told not to eat hens eggs. When he asked if he could eat duck eggs, he was told no problem, as they did not contain cholestrol. Confusing really I think Ill just eat them and sod cholestrol, just like you said red stag :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
