i love scrambled eggs, Bizi. actually i love eggs all different ways. but cooked yolks are not good for us.

the "cholesterol" in the yolk is not absorbed if you don't cook the yolk. it is oxidized on cooking - and becomes absorbable. the whites are more wholesome raw, too, but nowadays there is the safety issue of salmonella. (and besides, ... eww!)

anyway, poached, soft-boiled or sunny-side/over-easy are healthier than scrambled or omelettes or hardboiled or any mixed dishes where the yolk gets cooked.

i was thinking about that this morning... wish there were a way to scramble them without cooking the yolk. i supposed we could separate them and pour the yolk on after? not really the same thing! sigh...
