They came up with a vaccine(statins) which have bad side effects.

Today the traditional American breakfast(bacon & eggs) is as popular as ever, especially with traditional bacon is now a fixture in dinner and lunch dishes.

Use to drive my wife crazy because as a bodybuilder I was consuming a dozen raw eggs per day during much of the 70's... Didn't stop until the first protein supplements (awful!) came onto the market...

Never had a cholesterol problem and still kicking as my 87th birthday approaches this November...

I remember similar studies about coffee!

If you were going to eat eggs you were supposed to cook them hard also. I’ve been eating them over easy my whole life.

They said "don't eat the yellow yolks", but how can you have dippy eggs, without the yellow dippy parts?

I will be 62 in two months.

I eat 3 dozen eggs a week since about 1990.

I needed/need a heavy breakfast for the heavy work I have always done.

I eat eggs everyday for breakfast and eggs/bacon both days on weekend. Eggs seven days a week. Never had a cholesterol issue.

Yes- I only recently started eating them again and am 53. In my youth, my parents were told not to eat eggs as they were bad for their cholesterol. We were also told that hairspray was creating a hole in the ozone layer which we also believed. I love eggs.

Who could forget the hoax/panic of killer eggs?

And ketchup.....slathered all over.

“Does anybody remember in the late 70’s when eating eggs as stated by govt. officials was going to kill you.(cholesterol)”

AND butter would kill you too, so be sure to eat nothing but wholesome, healthy partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, something that really does kill people!

...and when you weren’t allowed to go outside and play because polio was coming out of the ground. 1950’s

Yes, I remember-it was fake, phony, and false. Actually to help prevent build up in the arteries, you need Vitamin K2 to get calcium into your bones and not clogging up the arteries.

IIRC, K2 is a fat soluble Vitamin that humans do not make in their own body. Cows that eat grass-not grains make a lot of K2 and it's in their fat and milk. Eggs also have K2 in the yolks from free range chickens.

Your body also needs healthy fats to make the good Cholesterol HDL. Carbohydrates in the amounts advised by the pyramid that was adopted after the McGovern hearings is detrimental to your health. To fatten animals-feed them grain. And then wonder why obesity is a problem. DUH.
