One egg a week lowers heart disease death risk by 29%

Participants who fell into the weekly category of egg consumption, that is, they consumed one to six eggs per week, had a 29% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and a 17% lower risk of dying from any cause compared to those participants who ate eggs never or infrequently. There was no statistically significant association between egg consumption and deaths due to cancer.

Previous research has observed a higher risk of mortality with egg consumption for those who have high cholesterol,” said Wild. “For this reason, we also explored the association between egg consumption and mortality in people with and without dyslipidemia (clinically diagnosed high cholesterol). We found a 27% lower risk of CVD-related death for participants with dyslipidemia who consumed eggs weekly, compared to their counterparts that consumed eggs rarely or never, suggesting that in this study cohort, the presence of dyslipidemia does not influence the risk associated with egg consumption.

Exactly the opposite of what we were told for decades. Whenever anyone tells you that "the science is settled", they're really telling you they don't understand what science i.

Back in the day , science told us that if we ate eggs we would die because eggs cause heart disease.

Now science tells us eggs prevent heart disease.

Not sure if this matters one way or another because science tells us that we will all be dead from climate change in 5 years anyway.

Un-possible. We’ve been told for years eggs are evil and will give you a heart attack for just looking at one.

I don’t believe it.

Get 3 to 4 chickens. You will have them most every day. Your friends and neighbors will love you as well.

Life is a terminal illness

Give it a week or two and eggs will, again, become the worst thing ever. The Simpsons pegged this 20 years ago...

Being run over by an egg truck is a high fatality risk.

Actually, it doesn't matter at all because the modern world as we know it ended in the late 20th Century due to overpopulation. I know because I still have a paperback copy of "The Population Bomb" I bought and read in the 1960s.

Ehrlich honed and perfected the enviro grift that set the strategy and laid the foundation for the current Climate Change hysteria.

The guy is a freaking disgrace to Stanford University.

Yep, I guess Erlich was the first of the modern day Doomsday prophets and now large organizations and entire governments spread the Climate Change hysteria.
