    Currently there are enough studies supporting that egg consumption does not contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases. However, it should always be considered the diet as a whole, and not for the consumption of a food alone. Because of all its nutritional and functional properties, the egg is a recommended food, in addition to be affordable in price as well as by having a positive market presence; it is versatile and easy to prepare, easy to chew and swallow; it has low glycemic index and low calorie contents; it also has multiple culinary and technological applications. Having solved the myths around the egg, recent investigations focus on its constituents with biological activity: antimicrobial, immunological, anti-adhesive, and antihypertensive, among others. So today, the laying hen is conceived as a "bioreactor" for producing medical and technologically relevant substances.

    ¿Es la gastronomía un arte?

    When trying to define «art» we find very diverse points of view. Even though there seems to be consensus upon the following statement: «Art is the manifestation of human activity by which Juan expresses a personal and uninterested vision interpreting what is real or imagined with plastic, linguistic or sonorous resources; it is also considered to be the ensemble of necessary rules and precepts for something to be done with ability and virtuosity». Nevertheless, when there is a judgment call on some artistic manifestations such as bullfighting or specific objects, this general notion goes into crisis. This is the source of the idea of revising diverse authors' points of view as to whether gastronomy can be or not considered an art. Even though in Kant's Critique of Judgment one may infer that it is not an art, other authors" postures consider culinary art, not only as one more, but as the art par excellence. Its appreciation involves all senses in a way not done by any other art, which makes it more complete. If what, in last instance, determines whether an object (dish) is a work of art or a mere need satisfactory, is the use of required techniques, planned objectives and produced effects, then gastronomy is art, because it widely complies with each and every one of these criteria.
