Eggs
 

It's truly amazing but I thought up until recently that eggs were "bad"
because of the cholesterol. But in fact, I keep reading that by themselves
they have no detrimental effects unless consumed in huge quantities. Amazing
how society can get crazy about a notion for such a long time. Now I'm going
to incorporate eggs in my diet(not just 2 a week).

They aren't that great unless you remove the yolk. Sure you can eat
them, but they are loaded with cholesterol. No nutritionists or doctor
I know says to eat a lot of egg yolk, although if you limit yourself
to a few a week and don't have a history of heart disease it may not
kill you. That is hardly an endorsement for eggs though. dkw

That's so funny... a "lot" of ANYTHING is bad for you... Moderation in all
things..

Eggs are a good (and cheap) protein.. they have 13 essential vitamins and
minerals and are rich in lutein that help protect your arteries.. all that
for 75 calories, 5 grams of fat, and no trans-fats....

I'm waiting for the freak show about carrot being the next killer... or is
it lettuce????

A case can be made both ways, complete with studies and experts. I think
chicken eggs are a perfect food. The yolk is the best part.

That's what I think now and I'm not listening to the vegan extremists trying
to claim otherwise. They have a political agenda against basic human
biology.

While I use Egg Beaters most of the time, I really love hard boiled
eggs which you certainly can't make out of Egg Beaters. They're a
great, portable, tasty protein snack. I have Type 1 diabetes and a
hard boiled egg is a perfect snack if I don't want to take any
insulin to cover food. I go through phases of eating them, since I
don't buy eggs too often. When I do buy them I go through them
quickly, but then I don't buy any again for a couple of months.

Troll or voice of reason? I don't seem to agree with you on many
things that's for sure. I think what you express are opinions yet you
present them as if they are scientific facts. All I can say is that it
is my opinion that eating a lot of eggs might not be a good idea, but
everyone needs to decide that for themselves. I've decided to never
eat egg yolk. Is that going too far? Well, it might be if it were hard
to do, but it is very easy to do and still get a huge variety of food.
I simply do not miss them. dkw

Yes, eggs do taste great, especially the yolk. That may be a survival
thing though. If I were to list my all-time favorite foods, they would
all be very-high cal. People seem to be drawn to high-fat/high-cal
foods. Perhaps that is because for much of our existence, it was hard
to get enough food to survive, so we had to stoke up on the high cal
stuff and eat it fast because if we didn't, we might starve before our
next meal. Those times though are in the past, for most of us, and we
need to put those food preferences into perspective. Otherwise, those
survival instincts work to our disadvantage in the long run by helping
to cause overweight and unhealthy conditions. dkw
