Food manufacturers are hilarious. In the beginning came the egg. Then came the great (drug company induced) cholesterol scare (farce). As is always the case, food manufacturers came in to save the day (make profits), and produce the first healthy egg (substitute). Chickens of coarse were shocked and dismayed, but just went back to what ever chickens do, but I will come to there defense.
Based upon your fears about high cholesterol, you were told that eating an egg with the yoke, was not the way to go. No, to be healthy, you must now eat a processed food that has the yoke removed. Presto, many of you bought into this, and why not, doctors recommended it, so it has to be correct, right.
It might be a good time to remind all of you of the 3rd leading cause of death in this country. Doctors... or what's called Iatrogenic disorder. There are over a quarter million doctor induced deaths annually, you might call it, Iatrogenocide?
What is the meaning of the word Iatrogenic: An iatrogenic disorder is a condition caused by medical personnel or procedures or through exposure to the environment of a health care facility, including fears instilled in patients by remarks or questions of examining physicians. ~Mosby's Medical Dictionary, 5th Edition, 1998...
But not to worry, now the makers of this substitute product just made it even better. How did they do it? Why, by adding back some of the yoke, of coarse.
It's called Egg Beaters with Yoke...
Now it just has a little yoke, the right amount, just for you, but watch, in a few years, they will add it all back, to make it even better and we will be back to what we had all along. The perfect food.
You might say the YOKE is on us!!!
Here are some great links to teach you the real story of the egg, one of best sources of protein, lutein (an important yellow pigment that is a phytonutrient that protects your eyes) (only with the yoke) and a great source of all sorts of nutrients.

Eggs - Good for your body...
Dr. Lam: The egg's image as a wholesome food has been tarnished in recent years, ever since a link was established between high blood cholesterol level and high incidence of cardiovascular disease . Egg is a rich source of dietary cholesterol and it is labeled as a "bad food" . Many have resorted to eating just the egg white to avoid the implications of heart disease, while others have rejected the intake of eggs altogether as a prescription to well being.
Contrary to popular belief that the egg is something to avoid, numerous research and long term studies have shown that eggs are a great dietary source of many fundamental (e.g. protein, choline, cholesterol) and non-fundamental (e.g. lutein, zeaxanthin) components that are essential for optimal health. In fact, many in the fore-front of anti-aging research believe that moderate egg consumption of one per day should be an integral part of a complete anti-aging diet.
Eggs: The worlds healthiest foods...
Eggs are available year round to provide not only delicious meals on their own but as an essential ingredient for the many baked goods and sauces that would never be the same without them.
Composed of a yellow yolk and translucent white surrounded by a protective shell, the incredible nature of the egg is partially found in their unique food chemistry which allows them help in coagulation, foaming, emulsification and browning.
Eggs are a good source of low-cost high-quality protein, providing 5.5 grams of protein (11.1% of the daily value for protein) in one egg for a caloric cost of only 68 calories. The structure of humans and animals is built on protein. We rely on animal and vegetable protein for our supply of amino acids, and then our bodies rearrange the nitrogen to create the pattern of amino acids we require.
