Just add a CBD oil product to your daily intake of what they claim is bad for you and all should be fine. Seems like there is a CBD product for every ailment.

Short of studies conducted on prisoners or non-ambulatory hospital patients, dietary studies (all of them) are close to useless. Self reporting of eating habits is notoriously unreliable and there are WAY too many extraneous factors that can't be controlled.

It all depends on who is paying for the study.

The eggs are the least of your worries with those bombs Wink

I love 'em, too. Prefer the biscuits, though. But I eat 'em maybe once or twice a year, tops.

Another example of the news media incompletely reporting on a scientific paper.

I can't read the paper itself because it's behind a paywall, but from skimming the abstract:

1) Correlation does not equal causation.

2) The study was based on self-reporting by participants, i.e. there wasn't any way to know if participants were downing Twinkies as well as eggs if they decided to not report it. Also, the study was focused on dietary cholesterol and eggs, so who knows what else could've contributed to the cardiovascular disease of the participants.

3) Part of the results include "all-cause mortality," meaning if someone reported eating 4 eggs per week and died in a car accident, that death was counted.

While I'm no dietician/nutritionist, from what I've seen, there's more solid evidence there's no significant link between dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol.

I'll just keep eating my veggie omelets, thankyouverymuch.

^^^Henry nailed it. That is just a dumb article. There’s no science or anything that was done. I can’t believe anyone actually published it.

I came to say what MNSIG and Henry said. With the exception of a few extensive truly scientific nutrition studies (that have been suppressed for 40 years and could never be done again), all of these so-called "studies" aren't worth the paper they are printed on. They are just surveys.

The suppressed studies were done on over 70k patients in mental hospitals and their diets could be 100% controlled. Those studies found no links between red meat and high fat and heart disease, cancer etc.

They can have my eggs when they pry them from my cold dead hands.

Ain't nothing better than eggs fried in lard, 'cept maybe eggs fried in bacon grease. Good and good for you.

I can't imagine a day without eggs. Mostly at breakfast time, but I've had them for or with lunch and dinner. A hard-boiled egg is a good "anytime" snack.

At the end of it all you are going to die of something. Life is short do not worry about this shit and enjoy what you have.

Mornings (up to 10-11 AM if I'm not working) without coffee are unthinkable as well.

I eat a lot of eggs. They are the perfect food. Unless you have sky high cholesterol, why worry about it.

I’ll take those odds. That’s ridiculous. Statistically significant? Not sure, but it doesn’t sound like a properly randomized scientific study to me..
