Step away from the omelette: Eating just half an egg a day increases your risk of DEATH by 7% - unless you ditch the yolks, researchers claim

Boiled, fried, scrambled or in an omelette, whole eggs pose a threat to health and eating more of them increases your risk of death, a study claims.

Researchers found eating just half a whole egg — which includes the yolk and the white — increases the likelihood of dying by seven per cent.

Risk of death increases by a further seven per cent for every half an egg on top of this, so a person eating one egg a day has at 14 per cent greater chance of death than someone who avoids the food.

Chinese researchers who led the study believe high fat and cholesterol levels in eggs are to blame.

They warned that people should use only the whites or switch to healthier egg substitutes, which lower the risk of dying.

Substituting an equivalent amount of nuts or legumes for half a whole egg reduced death rates by up to a third. Poultry, dish or dairy products had a similar effect.

Yep them ol’ wood burning cook stoves were hot during the
summer. Cook the breakfast and noon meal during the early
morning time and have left overs cold for the evening meal.

I grew up watching my mother make egg-white coffee! Both parent’s lives were cut short at 90.

This is a nonsense article, regardless of what the study actually shows.

Lots of street cred there man. I’ll never touch another egg yolk as long as I live. /s

Aren’t they more than a little behind the trends?

All I can say to this study is horsechit.

Why eat an egg without the yoke?


Because pants are more comfortable.

I’ve eaten three eggs (generally fried), a bagel, lox, cream cheese, three cups of coffee, and a glass of 2% milk for several decades now.


Talk about a ‘low calorie’ diet!

I’d have figured the coffee and the milk would have dehydrated by now.

I’ve decided that since my LDL is 165, I need to eat more omeletts.

And more bacon.

I trust scientists like I trust lawyers. Their advocacy depends on who is paying the bill.


Well, obviously you are part of the Milk Lobby.

Is unrealized death the best kind of death?

I have done everything know to man, most things more than once.
I ruined my lungs smoking.
My father was an athlete all his life and ran marathons into his late age, he did not smoke or drink.

If I make it one more month we tie for longevity.

Hey, life is short no matter when you die.
Enjoy
