Khanna , Poultry consultant Millions of poor person’s diet in developing countries is mainly carbohydrate (Rice and Wheat) which causes increase in Diabetic cases. So health agencies suggest that carbohydrate calories in food shall be 50-60% fat calories and 20-30% protein calories about to meet daily requirement of 2500 calories of energy & 60-65gms of protein. However the oil consumption of by millions of person in developing countries is all over the world is below 10% causing deficiency of vitamin A, D, E & K, phosphilitics essential fatty acids. So too much restruction of fat (eggs) in these countries further restrict the diet leading to break in immunity, nervous breakdown .For diabetic more calories comes from protein source (egg & fat) so egg cannot be restricted too much. While giving speech to human doctors in U.P regarding nutritive value of eggs, Cardiac expert questioned the you that may reduce the level of cholesterol in egg to 180gm from 300mg.still it cannot be advised to heart patient. He was satisfied with the answer that cholesterol is an essential part & and we do not even get sufficient ( cholesterol ) so many times sex harmonic like testesterona remain in sufficient as cholesterol deficiency .yes in high risk patient of cardiac problems, it may be restricted but not to ordinary human beings. In developed world 40% of t0tal calories comes from fat oils and less from carbohydrates so fruits are advised. So it can be constructed that neither cholesterol is harmful for ordinary persons rather it is advised to take egg especially for diabetic because it gives more calories from fat and protein rather than carbohydrate .Average Indians consumes about 80mg of cholesterol & western world consumes 300-500mg cholesterol per person but daily requirement body is 1000-2000mg.so we are getting 5% of body requirement and 95% comes from biosynthesis in body. Europeans are advised to restrict cholesterol for safer limit 300mg but where is need for countries in India where already people are getting cholesterol deficiency diet.
