If you can't get to 75 by a comfortable road, don't go!

[Moonmad27]

I’ll ignore that advice. I’ve lost 40 pounds since June eating at least 3 eggs a day (plus lots of veg, whole grains and starches like potatoes). No longer type 2 diabetic, normal blood glucose, normal blood pressure now. I get the BIG cartons of eggs at Costco or Sam’s!

Settled science, right? Along with the 1970s new Ice Age, New York under water by 1999, “healthy margarine, et al.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

I’d rather have 7% less of my life with eggs than 7% more without eggs.

[dartuser]

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

Since the likelihood of dying is 100% ... this sentence is nonsense.

[joethedrummer]

We are ALL dead men walking.

Shhhhh... don’t tell anybody but the dirty little secret is:

- We are ALL going to die of something someday.

Every. Last. One of us.

This type of malarkey about what we should and shouldn’t eat changes direction so much that I have neck trouble after watching the “tennis match” for so many years.

Use your brain as far as nutrition. Simple as that.

A Twinkie isn’t going to kill you. A diet of nothing BUT Twinkies probably will cut your days short.

But it’s YOUR life. YOU get to make those choices, not the government and not the so-called “experts” who change their minds every couple of years..

George Carlin found that swallowing one’s saliva causes cancer.

Need a crack Wuhan research team to get right on that one.

[circlecity]

In the 70’s and 80’s whole gigs were bad for you. In the 2000’s they changed that and said whole eggs were good for you. Now we’re going back?

[Wiser now]

Is this BS back? And from the Chinese yet? And just what does a 7% chance of death mean anyway? The terms are so vague they can be interpreted a dozen ways and I suspect that’s the idea.
All of the nutrients are in the yolk.
I’m 75 years old, and I’m going to spend the rest of my years eating what I damn well please.

[Red Badger]

Swallowing small bits of saliva for years will eventually kill you!>...............

[D Rider]

Yep, I am a dead man walking.

It is well known from numerous studies that the benefits from egg yolks outweigh the risks posed by the cholesterol content. However in China as in other places many people prefer to eat the yokes from unpasteurized raw or under-cooked (runny) eggs. This greatly increases the risk of becoming infected by harmful bacteria such as Salmonella especially in places like China. In the USA dairy products are well if not over-regulated and much safer. Does anyone remember all the farmers who have been taken down by swat teams for selling unpasteurized milk?

Eggs are multivitamins. I eat at least two a day.

A large egg contains the following, according to the USDA:

72 calories
0g carbohydrates
6g protein
5g total fat
1.5g saturated fat (8% DV)
0g fiber
0g sugar
69mg potassium (1% DV)
6mg magnesium (1% DV)
28mg calcium
0.8mg iron (3% DV)
99mg phosphorus
0.08mg vitamin B6 (5% DV)
0.45 mcg vitamin B12 (10% DV)
270 IU vitamin A
41 IU vitamin D (11% DV)

[Celtic Conservative]

Oh, so they’re bad again? Wake me for breakfast when another study says they’re good for you.

Correlation is not causation.

[sevinufnine]

Research forgot to mention previous research found the white of the egg countered the effects of the yolk. I will continue to eat quiche, omelettes, whatever I want with eggs!

[antidemoncrat]

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

Gee, I wonder if American tax payer$ funded thi$ “$tudy”?

[Restless]

Both of my grandmothers started every day with two eggs, buttered toast, bacon or sausage, orange juice. It’s always what they served me whenever I visited. They lived to 95 and 96.

If I was King I would mandate that no scientific study be published without a full (and honest)list of who paid for the research.
