I should add that I eat a lot of fermented foods — kimchi, kraut, whole milk plain yogurt.

But you have lost all your friends..................

[LibWhacker]

My breakfast table. God help any lib who tries to take it away from me!

I have 2 on Saturday morning and 2 on Sunday morning. Real bug eating free range chickens!! Not going to hurt me!🐓

[Nifster]

I don’t care

I like eggs and rare steaks and baked potatoes and desert and coffee.... all sorts of food that “they” say I shouldn’t eat. I eat it anyway

[Red Badger]

Only ONE EGG?????............................

[Nifster]

So science doesn’t mean anything

[Califreak]

Too many people are jumping off the statin express I suppose.

[Nifster]

Nope. A poached egg is broken into boiling water

[Nifster]

A poached egg is never in a shell. The egg is broken into boiling water. Some folks use “poaching cups” because they don’t really know how to poach an egg

[Nifster]

No it isn’t

[trisham]

They’re holding on to the old food pyramid with a death grip.

[Red Badger]

Those same people can’t boil water?...................

[CJ Wolf]

Egg coddlers are yum.

[Truthoverpower]

Eat what tastes good to
You

Not this crap again.

Design, Setting, and Participants Individual participant data were pooled from 6 prospective US cohorts using data collected between March 25, 1985, and August 31, 2016. Self-reported diet data were harmonized using a standardized protocol.

This is one reason why we don't use JAMA for any of our current work, nor do we publish in them.

Eggs metabolically are the perfect food for exogenous entry into the human sulfur cycle and feed cysteine production.

Food questionnaires and association is not science. We can always torture the results to give us whatever answer we are looking for.

I am with you.

I ignore these things 100%. Tuned out.

[Yardstick]

Yep, the billowing clouds of kimchi and egg are my friends now.

Actually, oddly enough, in my experience it works the other way. A thriving gut culture seems to help you process stuff without getting the horn section involved.

Hi All.

Eggs are not bad in your diet, HOWEVER - eggs from chickens fed GMO corn and soy meal are not good for you because they contain far too much Omega 3 and not enough 6.

Chickens are certainly fed gmo corn and soy in egg factories, and also it’s very common for backyard egg producers to just buy the Chicken Chow along with letting the hens peck at bugs.

Buying $4.50 a dozen soy-fed eggs is not any better than the .89 cent store brand.

“Vegetarian fed” eggs are crap.

Here’s what a chicken person said just on the corn/soy problem; there are other reasons to seek out truly great eggs but I’ll let you do your own research on that.

“Chickens that eat corn and soy will have an imbalanced omega 3/6 ratio, making these poultry products inflammatory foods for humans.

A pastured chicken that is free to roam on grass and eat bugs will have a 3/1 ratio of omega 6/3 which means eating these chickens and their eggs will be restorative for health. “

And:

“Soy free eggs from pastured hens have vitamin D levels up to 6 times higher than those from factory-farmed eggs. A diet high in soy can deplete a chicken’s vitamin D store”.

Articles like this probably cause more heart disease than eggs .Annoying,to say the least.

Hahahahahahaha! I agree! They don’t bother me anymore, because I don’t pay attention to them, but my poor wife...she can’t NOT pay attention to them, and tends to obsess on them a little.

But not for long...:)
