Cut cancer risk with egg yolk

Posted on Sep 7th 2008 8:00AM by Jacki Donaldson

Think you can't prevent cancer with the foods you eat? Think again. You can slash your risk of developing breast cancer just by consuming choline-rich foods. Choline what, you might be thinking. And to that I say: Choline is an organic compound classified as a water-soluble essential nutrient, usually grouped within the vitamin B complex. Mumbo jumbo, huh?

Here's all you really need to know: Good sources of choline are eggs, fish, lean meat, collard greens, and beans. Women need 425 mg per day, yet 90% of Americans don't get enough. Get the right amount and you'll decrease your risk of breast cancer by 24%. You'll also cut your heart disease risk and improve your memory.

Kick start your new choline habit today, by throwing down one large egg yolk, says Prevention magazine. It has 27% of your daily recommended amount.
