I ate 700 eggs in a month as an experiment - what happened to my health went against everything I'd been told
Daily Mail ^ | 24 September 2024 | Luke Andrews

Nick Norwitz, a doctorate student at Harvard University, found that contrary to the beliefs of many experts, his cholesterol levels actually dropped. After the month-long experiment that saw him eat the equivalent of 24 eggs per day his low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, or 'bad' cholesterol, fell by 18 percent.

Experts have demonized cholesterol in eggs for decades, warning that eating them may cause a surge in LDL levels and raise the risk of complications.

Dr Norwitz has a PhD in human brain metabolism from the University of Oxford and is completing his medical doctorate at Harvard University.

You can also freeze your eggs - they are both easier to peel
(run under water) and to cook with a semi-solid yolk.

—-> LDL Particle size IS what matters

Bad fats lead to small LDL instead of big puffy ones.

Consequently, they do not have sufficient surface area to transport things as they were designed to do.

(I read)

No seed oils. Just good real fats.

Thank you for your post #64.

I always figured that Food Science was detrimental to health, especially the manufactured hydrogenated oils and seed oils.

Problem is finding good oils to fry in other than bacon grease and real butter. Beef tallow is next on my list to cook with.

Got grandkids to feed but their Mom buys jugs of seed oil and I cannot control the junk food they eat.

My self, I eat six eggs a day and try to eliminate processed foods.

What is your position on raw honey, like I get from my sister’s hives?

Yes and I love putting one of our chickens orange colored yolks up next to the anemic yellow yoke of the store bought egg. No comparison.

Yes, you are right. I LOVE EGGS! But I am allergic to them. I eat them anyway, but not that many.

No, you have to eat 700 a month. It’s the Science.

Genetics probably makes a difference in how a person is affected by cholesterol especially in eating habits.

Eggscellent advice- I know to run eggs under water prior to peeling them.

Once peeled, I add salt to the egg and eat.

McDonalds? It takes five minutes to make a scrambled egg on a toasted muffin or bread. McDonalds? Really? Save some money.

Maybe there’s a bunch of old guys that he meets for breakfast. Socialization is good for his soul. My folks ate red meat, used butter on everything, drank brandy and loved cookies. They both lived to 89. The year they died was 2020. Who knows how long they would have lived if the whole world hadn’t gone hysterical, believed every single lie that science told them, and gave away their rights. Never mind people willlingly took MRNA injections, w/o knowing what they exactly were and for all the idiots who gave me the stink eye for not wearing a freaking mask. (I am still angry about 2020)

Anyhow, let the guy eat his 2 egg mcmuffins.

The more orange the yoke the better. Organic eggs have the most orange yolks.

I would hate to share lab space with that guy for that month. I vividly remember having to march behind recruits that had eaten half a dozen or more eggs for breakfast protein loading as doublerats, I was in the skinny guy drat squad being under weight for my height at MCRD. The wind was strong to say the least.
