Don’t tell your doc ! /-)
My doc said “ your cholesterol numbers are getting high , I’m going to give you a prescription for statins”
I asked if the numbers were in the danger zone and he said no but we need to keep them from rising anymore. I asked if I could lower them through diet changes and he said no. So he gave me the prescription, I went home and threw the script in the trash. Started eating oatmeal alot more and less store bought burritos and fast food, switched from margarine to real butter , ate more eggs.
After my next blood panel at my next doc apt my doc says good news the statins are working your numbers are down !
I tell him I never filled the script, never took the statins, just changed my diet.
He said nothing but I could see he was pissed that little old lowbrow me proved the PhD doc was wrong about diet.
He has been slightly hostile ever since /-)
Guess I’m now pegged as a “ settled science denier “ now /-).
Just wait till he tries to get me to take his fda shamfest approved covid DNA hatchet shot, probably a one way ticket to wherever they are planning to execute us at.
BTTT!!!!
I’m eating an egg sandwich right now with two slices of fried bologna and melted cheddar. Live dangerously my friends.
” Why is fart-blasting a benefit? “
Keeps the leftists at a longer social distance. Hold your fire till you can see the hairs of their nostrils!
Eggs are a perfect example of why science is never “settled”. How many times in your life have you heard scientific studies that mark eggs back and forth as “good” or “bad”?
I’ve lost count...
We hang whole coyote on barbed wire fence. It repells most animals. Two legged kind also.
Like your tagline. Thought provoking.
‘The incredible, edible egg.’ I like them pickled with pickled beets. And an egg salad sandwich is a great snack between meals.
Good for you....but my story is the opposite. Doc said try changing my diet, all that and numbers didn’t budge. Now 1 pill per day and I eat what I want.
Heredity can be a b*tch. But there’s lots of good with a little bad so I’m still a lucky guy.
We have fresh eggs everyday. Can hardly stand store bought anymore.
Eggs from pastured hens are the best! Deep orange yolks, great taste!
They are also one of the few sources of Vitamin K2. Arteries in my elderly Dad’s were so calcified the surgeon could not bore them out, as they were “like concrete”. After six months of eating three pastured eggs for breakfast every morning, plus K2 supplements in the evening, he no longer gets a horrible infection every time he stubs a toe or gets a little scratch on a foot. His osteoporosis stopped in its tracks. Ditto coronary artery disease. It’s been three years now, and I can hardly believe the improvement, but it is real (regular scans).
But don’t take my word or it. If you are elderly or have elderly loved ones, explore the benefits of K2 yourself. And enjoy those yummy pastured eggs! (Younger people’s bodies synthesize K1 to K2, but as we age, our bodies become way less efficient in this process, one of the reasons calcium is robbed from our bones and deposited in our blood vessels.)
Note: Cage-free and free range are *not* the same as pastured. Cage-free just means the hens are let out to peck each other in a small fenced mud hole, and free range just means they are given access to a very small outdoor area. Pastured means the hens are living in a large area of pasture, rotated regularly to fresh fresh pasture, feeding on insects, grass seed, etc., like chickens have always done until factory farming came along.
This thread is making me HUNGRY!
This is Saturday brunch day so a little while before I eat *stomach grumble*
I had breakfast a couple times at Frisch's in Columbus, Ohio. They have good food.
Yes, they do! I worked for a company that owned six of them here in N/W Ohio, along with five hotels, one that I was Chief Engineer at. Great job, free chow, yay! Well, a dollar five a day for meals, still a bargain! Scarfed down a ton of chicken legs from the buffet, too.
I will state the obvious here...dump that moron and find another doctor.
I learned a long time ago that just because someone has a degree that reads "Doctor" doesn't make him/her a doctor.
There are levels and levels, just like artists.
To become a good doctor, one has to master two things: the knowledge, and the practice. Two very different things.
We’ve been married for 40 years, and I know the habit of eating eggs daily predates our years together. My husband has eaten 3 eggs a day, sometimes 4, for all these years and his total cholesterol has always been ridiculously low, usually under 100.
17 hens. 14 is an average.
Just had my 3 eggs over easy and two pieces of Multi grain toast with seeds. Also had unsalted butter on the toast. Had the eggs twice this week as my normal go to breakfast is steel cut oat meal that come in frozen hockey pucks from Trader Joe’s. They sell them for $1.79 so its cheap and easy.
Yep! If I free range 5 hens, I’ll soon have a couple happy coyotes and no hens.
How far must one have to read to get to the answer to the question in the headline? There is only “one” so it shouldn’t be that difficult. What is the “One Major Side Effect of Eating Eggs Every Day”?...
