Cardiologist explains why people should not eat eggs without yolks

Dr Alok Chopra, a functional medicine expert and cardiologist warned that consuming egg whites in isolation may lead to health issues. "Egg white without the yolk is an inflammatory protein; while with it, it becomes a power-packed punch of nutrients," he said. Eating eggs without yolks can cause leaky gut, food poisoning with salmonella, biotin deficiency and arthritis, he added.
