‘Eggs are more nutritious now than before’
An egg today is better than a hen tomorrow!
Going to work on an egg is healthier than before as a study has found that it’s nutritional benefits have increased over past 30 years.
According to a study funded by Britain’s department of Health, eggs not only are lower in fat, cholesterol and calories, they also contain more vitamin D than previously thought.
The study found that the average medium-sized egg now has nearly 25 per cent less saturated fat, which is linked to heart disease, than one sold in the 1980s.
They contain 1.3 grams, rather than 1.7 grams. No more than 20 grams of saturated fat a day is prescribed by nutritionists, the Daily Mail reported.
Researchers also found eggs contain 177 micro-grams of cholesterol.

Teens exposed to sex scenes more promiscuous?
London: Teenagers exposed to sex scenes in popular films could become more promiscuous and sexually active from a younger age, a new study based on 700 Hollywood blockbusters has claimed.
Psychologists concluded that teenagers exposed to more sex on screen in Hollywood films are likely to have sexual relations with more people and without using condoms.
The study, based on nearly 700 popular films, found that watching love scenes could “fundamentally influence” a teenager’s personality. The researchers, from Dartmouth College, concluded youngsters were more prone to take risks in their future relationships, the Daily Telegraph reported. They also concluded that for every hour of exposure to sexual content on-screen, participants were more than five times more likely to lose their virginity within six years. — PTI
