Just as you were ready to tuck into a nice three-egg omelet again, comforted by the reassuring news that eggs are not so bad for you, here comes a study warning that for those over 40, the number of egg yolks consumed per week accelerates the thickening of arteries almost as severely as does cigarette smoking.
Server, can you make that an egg-white omelet instead, please?

Well, see that's how they hide it. They give it an innocuous sounding name like Dihydrogen Monoxide instead of calling it what it really is - Hydric Acid.
Thanks for mentioning the fruit acids following eating meat. I’ve always liked combinations of meat and fruit, like ham and pineapple on pizza or in stir-fry, or chicken with mango salsa. Amazing how many things I naturally am drawn to turn out to be healthy. Maybe people need to follow their instincts more on this.

Yup. I have been on Atkins since the day after Thanksgiving of 1999. My numbers look pretty darn good for someone who lives on meat, cheese, eggs, sour cream and cream cheese. In fact, I was getting my blood tested every month for 6 months a couple of years ago, and one weekend, I decided to go off the diet for 2 days (which I do every few months) and my triglycerides shot up. The doctor was worried about it at first, then I explained what happened. He couldn't believe I was on Atkins for so long and had numbers like I did.
We can probably blame the sugar and high fructose corn syrup lobby for all this BS about eggs and meat being bad for you.
As per Jack La Lanne and his brother, I wonder which was happier? Jack always just looked so happy. I’m wondering if all that exercise had his endorphins going all the time. If it put him in a happy mood all the time, I’m thinking that’s a pretty good benefit.
I actually had a FReeper tell me the other night they didn't believe there were nanny state loving Freepers. An on another thread was called an Obama loving lurking liberal troll. (paraphrasing)
I just thought I would second oh8eleven’s remarks about Californians and what they regard as a proper pizza.
Sigh.

From what I have read over the years and also surmised, it is not cholesterol what causes the problem and along with it heart attacks. What causes the actual problem is what makes cholesterol stick to the inside of artery wall and then keeps on piling up until it completely chokes off such an artery and in turn may cause a blockage resulting in a heart attack.
From what I have read is that there are many things which may cause an inflammation on the inside of an artery wall and then the human body tries to repair the damage by means of patching up such damage with cholesterol and as it keeps piling on cholesterol the artery keeps getting smaller and smaller and most of us have either heard or know what the results are.
The cause of such inflammation may come from a variety of foods and certain type of fats, all of these can be easily found on the internet. Another philosophy of mine has been that a lot of ailments start with an innocent small inflammation here or there which progressively becomes worse and eventually becomes chronic. In other words an inflammation is the humans body reaction to something it does not like, rather similar to an allergic reaction and eventually this may lead to some serious ailment.
When it comes to being a guinea pig for Aspirin I am probably about as good as they come as I started to take Aspirin at the young age of about sixteen because of problems related to my spinal column which is more or less a mechanical and inherited problem and now, as I write this I never see seventy years again and are headed for eighty.
At times I would eat Aspirin like candy and at the time coated Aspirin was not known in Europe were I grew up, neither was a chiropractor who could help putting some vertebras back in place. I am careful of what I eat and have been exercising pretty much most of my life, but I contribute my overall health to the constant intake of Aspirin as an anti-inflammatory agent, but right now I am down to about three to four a day.
More recently I have run across an article titled a heart surgeon speaks out, and his article seems to be pretty much in agreement what I just stated. I am quite certain that there has to be a doctor amongst the many members of FR and if what I wrote is not up to snuff or considered to be wrong, by all means correct me as this is the only way we learn.
Actually ? it is, whether you eat the good food or bad food, sometimes there is not enough time to get to where you need to go when nature calls.
Got to be very careful of how much aspirin intake you take every day, to much and it can damage the liver.
“Or else I cook it on a mess of hash browns. I add the eggs just after I turn the hash brown over.”
Dang, that sounds good! I never thought about that and am going to give it a whirl this weekend. Plus, the bonus is that it would save me cleaning one pan!
I totally agree about inflammation. It is very important to keep it under control, especially as we get older. Which you seem to be doing very well!
One would think with the upcoming impementation of 0bamacare/Romneycare they would be hiding the “factual” results and tell people to eat a dozen eggs a day, if this were true.
