No. This is a very common question because years ago some hatcheries claimed that these eggs were reported to be lower in cholesterol and higher in nutritional value than other chicken eggs. William O. Cawley, Extension Poultry Specialist at Texas A&M University, wrote a paper, POULTRYDOM'S MYSTERY CHICKEN - THE ARAUCANA, 10/79, that sets the record straight.

No. Eggs are eggs, however brown eggs are often better in flavor than white eggs. It is not the eggs but how they are raised that makes the difference. Commercial growers usually have White Leghorn chickens which are superb egg layers with good feed conversion/body weight. Leghorns lay white eggs. The chickens are kept in a highly controlled environment and usually never see the light of day. See similar questions...

far as can be determined no tufted-rumpless fowl were used to create any of the eight recognized varieties of Ameraucanas. Ameraucana bantams and Ameraucana large fowl are standard breeds. They have specific requirements with regard to shape, weights, coloring, comb, earlobes, and so on. While it is true that commercial hatcheries continue to cash in on crossbred mongrels by advertising them as Araucanas or Ameraucanas, it takes much more than eggshell color to make a true breed.

No. The color of the shell is determined by the breed of hen. Both brown and white eggs are equally as nutritious. See similar questions...

Cholesterol in the body comes from two sources - most of it is made by the liver from various nutrients and especially from saturated fats and the rest of it comes directly from eating animal products such as meats, egg yolks, organ meats, whole milk and milk products. Scientific research has shown that a diet high in saturated fat seems to increase cholesterol production in the body. See similar questions...

The FDA has determined that a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol and high in soy protein can lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Soy protein has been found to lower low-density lipoproteins (LDL) with no change or an increase in the levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). LDLs have been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, while HDLs have been found to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. See similar questions...

Yes, in most individuals. Remember, cholesterol is a form of fat. Research has substantiated that consumed animal fats tend to cause cholesterol to settle in the arteries and cause atherosclerosis. However, it has also been found that the crystal clear "purified" vegetable oils (not heated) do not raise the blood cholesterol level. One answer for this might lie with the fact that lipase is found in these unheated vegetable oils. See similar questions...

Sometimes. Many preparations (including Metamucil) contain soluble fiber, which can lower cholesterol up to 10%. Garlic products can help, but usually not by very much. Niacin is very effective, but only in very high doses (usually more than 1000 mg per day). In those doses, it tends to have more side effects than prescription drugs. Of course, no drug, prescription or herbal, is a substitute for a proper diet! See similar questions...

Brown rice actually has some advantages over white rice and we prefer for people to have brown rice on most occasions, unless white rice is the only option. White rice starts out as brown rice, but after the husk, bran and germ are removed, then the starchy core, or endosperm is left. Brown rice has had just the outer husk removed, which is inedible, and because the bran and germ remain, the brown rice has 3.5 grams of fiber per cup of cooked rice, vs. 0.74 grams left in the white rice.

Your total cholesterol score is composed of LDL (or "bad" cholesterol) and HDL (or "good" cholesterol). Exercise doesn't seem to affect the bad cholesterol (eating less saturated fat does) but it increases the good cholesterol. When you exercise and eat less saturated fat (these are fats from animal sources), your total cholesterol is usually lowered and the ratio should change for the better -- less bad cholesterol and more good cholesterol.
