I'm really glad to hear this, I'd lost track. What's the latest on salt and coffee ?


An egg a day keeps the doctor away, according to a new study out of China.

Researchers at Peking University Health Science Center found that the simple and cheap food, once thought to raise unhealthy cholesterol levels, dramatically protects the heart.

They discovered that daily egg consumption is linked to 26 percent reduced stroke risk and 18 percent reduced cardiovascular disease risk.

“The present study finds that there is an association between moderate level of egg consumption (up to 1 egg/day) and a lower cardiac event rate,” lead scientists Professor Liming Li and Canqing Yu write in the journal Heart.

The researchers examined the diets of 416,000 people between the ages of 30 and 79.
Subjects were asked how often they consumed eggs. Their health was then documented over a period of around nine years.

The 13 percent of participants who ate one egg a day were found to have more than a quarter less chance of suffering from a hemorrhagic stroke, which occurs when there’s bleeding in or around the brain.

They also had 28 percent less risk of death caused by a hemorrhagic stroke, and an 18 percent reduced chance of dying from cardiovascular disease.

I never pay any attention to such diet warnings.

Eggs are bad – now they’re good.
Fat is bad – now it’s good.
Salt is bad – now it’s good.
Red wine is bad – now it’s good.
Coffee is bad – now it’s good.
Until they change their advice again – about everything.

I eat and drink what I like, in moderation.

A study from UCLA came out a few years ago stating the same. China is a little late on this one.

Daughter took us to Panera (not my choice). On the sign it said something like "We don't use unnatural ingredients such as: ........, Lard......." Asked the young lady behind the counter "Lard isn't natural?"

One of my favorite videos...

Of course eggs are good for you. The WHOLE egg. I've never believed otherwise. If you discard the yolk, you're discarding the very best part of the egg which is chock full of vitamins and minerals as well as of course half the protein.

Arnold Schwarzenegger knew that. Over two decades ago he wrote his book "The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding," which became my roommate's and my bible at the Academy when we got super serious about lifting, and he explained what anyone who studies bodybuilding and nutrition should know...that the egg is almost the perfect food.

...and this is why these "studies" are useless. It is just a survey. This same dubious methodology is why they have to keep contradicting themselves, it isn't a scientific study at all (where variables are controlled). This is also the basis for the completely unsubstantiated claims red meat increases cancer risk and heart disease. Makes the vegans happy and for some reason the FDA and AMA are on board with it, so much so that they completely ignored actual double-blind study evidence (from a controlled mental hospital environment with tens of thousands of participants) that red meat has no affect.

I do believe eggs are healthy and eat plenty of them, but not based on a survey!

Don't use the dubious and contradictory "surveys" and lobby/special interest influence (who funds these "studies") as an excuse not to eat healthy though. Without even getting into really contentious areas, we all know what is healthy; whole foods like meat, veggies, fruits, nuts. As un-processed as possible. Avoid fried foods, vegetable oils, most grains (or limit them), sugar (or greatly limit it). Fats should be from healthy sources like olive oil, coconut oil, butter, eggs, grass fed meats, avacados, nuts. Alcohol in moderation, keep your weight at a healthy level.

I bet the lard that Panera avoids is healthier than whatever industrial processed oil they use!

Eggs are good for you..........again

They've always been.

Breakfast without eggs is almost unthinkable, along with bacon, potatoes, toast and butter, as well as salt, all that shit that is supposed to be bad for you.

No shit? Well good, I’ll keep eating them

The incredible, edible, egg!

3 Over easy please. Bacon, real butter, salt and pepper, home fries, good coffee with cream and sugar. Oh and a fork.

Who the hell eats only 1 egg per day?

I average 18 eggs per week. I consider them to be a healthy source of protein.

I believe our own Dr. Goodheart has endorsed two soft boiled eggs for breakfast, and the dood dads to prepare amd eat them.

Not sure if those are autographed models, but apparently he believes eggs are ok, no need to rely on Chinese studies reported in the media.

Kinda funny this comes up today...I had three fluffy scrambled eggs with a touch of Parmesan and Cheddar cheese for lunch today. And toast with REAL butter...

LMAO!! Sometimes people just wanna sound oh so [fill-in-the-blank] and all they wind up doing is just stepping in a huge pile of dog dung.

Yummy thread. Making mayonnaise from left over bacon grease using 2 egg yolks and will put on my scrambled eggs cooked in more bacon grease.

Eggs every day unless too lazy to cook 'em. Then oatmeal or in cases of extreme laziness, toast. Ideally with Canadian bacon, and lately a croissant from the local and genuine French Oven bakery. Yumm.

"Living" is good for you..."living" is bad for you! I think I'll just opp for living (eggs and all) come what may

It’s interesting that a couple of guys made note of the fact that they had “REAL butter.” My folks used margarine when we were growing up, but that was one of the first things I changed when I left home. I can’t imagine using margarine and I truly believe that it’s much worse for you than butter.

Use butter, all the time. Natural products are always better than food products developed in labs.
