Lord I am a dead man walking..

Breathing every day guarantees you will die. 100%

[commish]

So, according to this research I died in 1970. Got it.

[catnipman]

i remember when butter was supposed to kill us, and relentless propaganda convinced the sheeple to switch to margarine, which REALLY DID KILL PEOPLE!

[AloneInMass]

I just had 2 eggs for breakfast. I guess I’m up to 28%

[moovova]

It’s my understanding that eating bacon along with a whole egg negates any harmful effects of said egg (or eggs).

That’s my story...and I’m sticking to it.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Why eat an egg without the yoke? Isn’t that what the idea is?

[oldbill]

Oh crap

I guess we’ll have to go back to eating 40 bran muffins a day.

What’s next? Leisure suits? Disco dancing?

What is this, a study funded by Big Wheat back in 1974?

[Fresh Wind]

Last time is was “eggs will give you diabetes”.

[olivia3boys]

I read once that if you were stranded on a desert island for life and could only choose 3 foods for the rest of your life to live on, those 3 foods should be eggs, milk, and dog food. Most nutritious three options apparently.

So... if I stop eating eggs I may not die?

I eat 2 or 3 a day, 3 would give me a 42% increased chance of death.

Even better, if I eat more than 7 in a day my chance of death is 100%. Time for an experiment.

[Huskrrrr]

This just in, enjoying life may be hazardous to your health.

[Wissa]

Breathing every day guarantees you will die. 100%

If you eat a half an egg it goes up to 107%.

[mewzilla]

FWIW, I think this is aimed at America’s poultry industry and farmers.

Cui bono...?

[Parmy]

For crying-out-loud. Do we have to listen to this defamation again? Can't these people come up with anything new?

Stop funding this inane research and stupid scientists, so called.

[READINABLUESTATE]

I eat at least a half dozen eggs a week, but I offset them with healthy items like pancakes, coffee and bacon.

[DannyTN]

China

Wouldn’t trust it.
They probably have an egg shortage or want their people to switch for some other reason.

[exDemMom]

So, I am 114% likely to die now, since I ate a whole egg yesterday?

Ridiculous.
