We eat high Omega-3 eggs (660 mg of Omega-3 in each egg).

They are tasty and healthy for you. Concerns around cholesterol are moot, for as long as you don't have over 1,000 to 1,500 mg of cholesterol, your body has to produce the rest each day.

Additionally, Cleveland Clinic did note the lecithin that foods like eggs have can create TMAO (trimethylamine-N-oxide), which for meat eaters and the gut bacteria that gets favored with such a diet creates the problem (vegetarians don't have those colonies). However, the same studies showed having olive oil or balsamic vinegar in the same meal temporarily stopped the TMAO activity by those same bacteria. Consequently, we try to have a little with our eggs.

I do not believe diabetes has ever been tied to egg eating in the past. I doubt that association, at this time.

Olive oil, huh? Will give it a go. Diabetes is an awful disease, and I don’t want it. But I eat eggs, bacon, sausage...
