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). |

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 |

"No nutritionists or doctor
I know says to eat a lot of egg yolk" 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???? Will~ wrote in message ...

I'll just killfile "it" and be done.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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 |

Most of the rest comes from crappy diet and lifestyle, not eating eggs - i.e. your basic North American thing - the high calorie, high fat diets, without enough fruit/veg/fibre, no exercise etc. Most epidemiological studies have shown little or no association between egg intake and risk of coronary heart disease. |
