Time to start snacking on the yolks again, too.

Or they may not. Golly, I’m glad we got that cleared up.

While heredity has a role, my grandparents and great grandparents lived into their 80’s despite a diet of fried meats, lard, eggs, lots of salt, cured meats and relatively few vegetables unless home canned with lots of salt added. I have a cookbook from my great aunt dated 1913 and the recipes would scare a food nanny to death.

tobacco will never be proven to be healthier for you. given all the junl science about second-hand smoke and restrictive laws on a LEGAL substance, any report on the healthy aspects of smoking would completely destroy what little credibility scietits now have. all reports would have to be suppressed. it would make the gorebull warming scam look small.

“Eggs”, they’re not just for hangovers anymore. (Likely new advertising campaign?)

Healthier and much more economical!

I buy 3 dozen eggs at Costco for under $4. They last about 2 weeks. I eat egg white omelets, and sometimes, for dinner, one yolk with 4 whites to which I add onions, peppers, mushrooms, broccoli. What a mountain of food! Low cal and cheap.

LOL! My husband and I were just laughing about that last night. A Chantix commercial came on TV and the largest part of the commercial was the side effects, including unexplained sudden death! I'm pretty sure smoking is healthier than this FDA approved drug. I'm so glad we seek natural cures and supplementation before seeking FDA approved chemicals.

We switched to a more natural diet as well. Since we started drinking whole milk and eating eggs and butter instead of fake liquid eggs and margarine, we've stopped watching our scales. Last Thanksgiving and Christmas I used lard for my pie crusts. We've managed to eliminate HFCS, hydrogenated oils, and MSG. Maintaining our regular fitness regime is all that is needed to maintain our healthy weight.

“one yolk with 4 whites to which I add onions, peppers, mushrooms, broccoli. What a mountain of food! Low cal and cheap. “

Similar to my breakfast this morning. Two eggs, two whites, zucchini, onion, green pepper, tomato, fresh basil and some feta cheese.

equal to apples in their antioxidant value

What antioxidant value? A cut apple soon oxidizes to a brown color.

Ok, now I just changed my lunch plans! Avocado, yum! That was my son's first food by the way. At six months he ate pureed avocado like a champ. At almost three, eats avocado slices like he has a hollow leg. He also looks like Kermit the Frog after the meal!

I recalled reading that it was the cereal companies who paid for the research on eggs and, that they used DRIED eggs to do it. I wish that I could recall the source. It is likely related to the low carb way of eating. If I run across the reference again, I will try to remember to post it.

Not to mention they have 240 mg of cholesterol per egg yolk. Two eggs w/yolks equal 480 mg of cholesterol which is 180 mg more than one’s daily allowance. Or have they revised their opinion on that, too?

We use Eggland's Best. They taste better and are more nutrious. $3.24/18 at Sam's. This is about double regualr eggs, but we don't eat much meat.

Why, Yes! My laying hens have been cancer and heart-disease free for as long as I can remember. :)
