Given all of the well-known benefits to eating eggsβ€”which range from boosting your immune system to helping you lose weight to improving your cognitive healthβ€”you may have wondered if it's possible to eat too many of them. After all, with 6 grams of protein, 5 grams of healthy fat, and lots of vitamins, the humble egg is among the most nutritious foods on the planet. But according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of South Australia, Qatar University, and the China Medical University, the answer is most certainly yesβ€”and the results will surprise you. Read on for more on what the scientists discovered, and for more pressing news about your breakfast, make sure you know why Science Says It's Dangerous to Drink Your Coffee This Way.

The study, published in The British Journal of Nutrition, focused on nearly 30 years of data (1991 to 2019) for roughly 9,000 adults in China, where diabetes cases are on the rise. "Over the past few decades China has undergone a substantial nutritional transition that's seen many people move away from a traditional diet comprising grains and vegetables, to a more processed diet that includes greater amounts of meat, snacks and energy-dense food," explained Ming Li, MD, Ph.D, an epidemiologist at the University of South Australia. "Diet is a known and modifiable factor that contributes to the onset Type 2 diabetes, so understanding the range of dietary factors that might impact the growing prevalence of the disease is important."

Different cultures or races have different metabolism. I remember many decades ago there was a fad diet which originated in Japan. Iirc, it was called the Zen Macrobiotic diet. Anyway, it consisted exclusively of rice and tea. The Caucasians who tried it were dropping like flies, healthwise and lifewise. Turned out Asians had an ability to synthesize an amino acid that was missing in the Caucasians who were keeling over.

Hyponatremia.
It’s happened to basic trainees, and a mom trying to win a PS3, or XBox, for her kids on a radio show.

So per the article, if you are an Asian woman then don’t eat eggs. For the rest of us, it is fine.

"A clear case of DHMO poisoning"

This guy obviously flushed out his electrolytes. That's why high energy sweating sports participants use Gatorade or other similar drinks.

Remember some years back they were saying DHMO was a top killer in the US? There were even people in front of super markets with petitions to outlaw it. I actually witnessed people signing those petitions. They couldn't explain what is was so I checked it out.

As info came out about DHMO, the stupid busy-bodies stopped their push when they found that DHMO (dihygrogen monoxide) is frigging WATER! Yup, thousands of drownings occur ever year, so it IS a leading cause of death, but not for the reasons they thought.

In extremely poor countries they sometimes feed their babies with DHMO instead of milk because the mothers can't produce enough milk and they can't afford formula or have access to it.

Eggs were a good source of protein for millennia, until eggs yolks were bad (extra cholesterol). Then eggs became okay again until now that they're bad again. I have lost almost all faith in "scientific studies".

A fart with a 50-egg turbo charge behind it would be on the order of that gigantic Uranus gas bubble. Whew!

Alcohol, coffee, meat, dairy, and now eggs. This year a study says they are all bad for you and next year a study says no problemo.

I have three eggs just about every morning. My cholesterol is still below 200 and I have a very healthy heart.

Don't listen to the doctors who want you to eat corn crispies every morning because they get paid off by the grain industries.

If such dystopia ever came upon us, that we had nothing else to eat, we could survive very well on eggs, honey, and the occasional Democrat.

A democrat?

Have you ever cleaned one of those things?

Not enough left to keep a hamster alive.
