I’ve had my arteries checked thrice.

All clear.

I have heart issues, but those are inherited. Granpa and dad both had heart attacks at young age.

And remember, not so long ago, butter would kill you dead dead dead, eat margarine (hydrogenated fat) to live forever. Now, hydrogenated fat will kill you dead dead dead.

And, more than 2 eggs a week would kill you dead dead dead. Now, a couple eggs a day is fine.

And, the current Narrative is soda pop is evil and people shouldn’t be allowed to have it, ala New York’s bossman. Therefore, “studies” must be produced to back that up.

Trusting “studies” these days is its own kind of stupid.

“And, more than 2 eggs a week would kill you dead dead dead. Now, a couple eggs a day is fine.”

Not any more. They just changed it again.

Fortunately, I had no heart damage. I blame my problems on the soda, not only because of the studies, but because I was the only in my family who drank that much, and the only one in my family who had the problems I had.

Nah, they're back to thinking it will kill you again. I read a study about it, maybe on FR?, just the other day.

Sez me, "Whatever. Eggs are nutritious, too." I figure that something is going to kill me, sooner or later. Stressing about all of the things that can, is just as bad as the things themselves.

Provided you don't have any known problems that conflict with this philosophy, moderation is the key.

I agree that one should never listen to the government but common sense dictates that butter would be better than margarine (which is basically a slab of hydrogenated oils) and that eggs are very good for you (pretty much the perfect food).

Eggs fried in real butter are about the healthiest thing you can have. I fry them four eggs at a time - when I'm not making 3-egg omelettes. I'd make my omelettes with four eggs too but I'd need to buy a bigger non-stick pan.
