Mayo Clinic says a healthy person can eat up to 7 egg yolks a week
So, an otherwise healthy person can eat an egg a day? Their article doesn't define what constitutes a "healthy person." I had a stint put in a couple of years ago. I also take a statin. Does that put me in the "unhealthy category" and should avoid eggs?

Haha! A trillion + industry is built on the notion that dietary cholesterol leads to arterial congestion. Complete bullshit.
copying and pasting from grok responses loses the paragraph divisions that grok shows and adding empty lines using the ENTER button in the FR text box after pasting and even in other text editors DISPLAYS the extra white space until one hits PREVIEW, and presto, all the white space lines disappear ...
there must be some kind of embedded invisible formatting in the grok text, and the only way i found to fix the paragraphs in FR after pasting is to add HTML “P” tags where one wants a paragraph break ...
Thanks for the info. I’ve never used grok...only heard of it.
I’ve eaten at least two whole eggs a day for decades. My labs are perfect.
“I heard eating raw eggs isn’t safe.”
I recall that idea was a fad maybe 30 years ago. Then we realized how many raw eggs we’d eaten in childhood by “licking the bowl” or beaters when our moms baked cakes. And the raw cookie dough!! OMG!!!
Seriously, I think salmonella can be a problem with raw eggs.
On regular search engines, I'm as specific as possible, but sometimes I have to vary the words in the searches in order to make sure the scope of the search reaches as far back as I need it to. Most of the things I search for are to confirm that what I'm recalling from old news articles 20 or more years ago, are correct. Does Grok provide sources from old news article?
I spent many years doing historical research. It wasn't my job, but research I was interested in. It was very exciting, because you never knew what you'd find after you opened a box of documents, or where it might lead you next. Another wonderful source for info are old newspapers on microfilm. Spent many hours pouring over those too. Most of my research was on the Civil War back then.
I tried the link you provided, but I don’t do X, or any social media, so access is out of the question.
Dietary cholesterol has no bearing upon blood cholesterol.
...except to followers of the Framingham narrative.
I am not an expert, but am aware that some eggs are enriched with Omega 3 or are from chickens fed with Omega 3’s for people concerned about heart health.
2 to 3 fresh farm eggs 5x a week...
Fact: Eggs are a source of bioavailable dietary Omega 3. This content may be mildly enhanced through feed supplements to the hens.
Major caveat: In my professional opinion Omega 3 is damaged by cooking temperatures. There are no studies to this effect. I cite this strictly based upon my own trials and direct medical effect.
And I term all Omega 3 supplements as ‘snake oil’. All of them.
Consume poached fish and soft, gently cooked eggs for maximum Omega 3 biological benefit.
I feel the effects upon my joints within 30 minutes of consuming my bi-weekly fish intake, but only if cooked properly. The effect lasts for nearly a week. Someday I’ll figure out why the damned virus triggered Rheumatoid Arthritis with me. Until then, I chase fatty fish with a variety of treatments for palatable intake (and eggs for breakfast, of course. 2-3 per day). A recent wasabi sauce I’ve perfected has made my fish consumption quite pleasurable (I despise fishy flavor, but it’s medicinal).
Free advice.
And for non-fish fans. Flax-seed and seaweed ?
I do like poached eggs but not overly runny.
For omelettes it’s a matter of taste. Love egg whites alone in that context.

Not alone as in just the egg. But the egg white allows for the add ins like spinach, tomato, avocado highlighted…bacon, chili, and olives too. Without being too heavy.🙂
Thank YOU for your inputs. Did you start the Atkins diet (comically called ‘passport for heart attacks’ by the medical establishment) before or after your heart event?
Btw, I’m now not at all surprised a perfectly fit person can have a heart attack. You know why? Because you told me you were running! Just look up the heart attacks rate among runners compared to the normal population.
Raw egg whites contains some nasty anti nutrients that wreck your stomach and cause deficiency if in high dose. Raw egg yellows are fine though. It’s measurable, not a matter of hearsay.
Flax seed only works if you’re a bird (5% or less for men, up to 10% for women. Labeling is a scam. So, if it says 600mg on the container for flaxseed oil, do the math).
I do get it about the fish. Not a fan. Love my wasabi sauce in that respect!
