Global warming is killing off the pirates? :frown:0 -
I only like the whites (when boiled) but now srambled, fried or omelets you have to have the yolks...OH WELL something is going to kill us.0

This sums up what my comment would have been! :laugh:0 -
That is ****ing brilliant! :laugh:0 -
I thought the bad reputation of egg yolks from the 80s was discredited about a decade ago???0

Glad to read all the info "for" egg yokes because I love them and cringe when I read egg-whites in someone's diet. It's just not for me. I'm with the gal that said "everything kills you". Thanks for posting the "study" though because I got to hear what I wanted to ask about egg-yolks that was good:)

all the protein is in the white anyway.
Not entirely true.
Neat nutrition chart here: http://www.fitsugar.com/Egg-White-Vs-Egg-Yolk-Which-Better-3645270 -
I heard there were pirates in here.0

That's not true. And, if you only eat the whites you can't fully process all the protein that is in them. You need the yolk for that.0 -
lol, if i had a nickel for every time someone said egg yolks were bad for you...0

I'd much rather eat egg yokes than inhale cyanide.:noway:0

Either that or the lack of pirates is causing global warming.0 -
That is a pile of plop plop.0

All I could think of was the Sirens show at Treasure Island in Vegas. Eggs not included.

But is it because of the egg yolk that people are more likely to get ill or is it not the causual link?
Eg. people who eat one rasher of bacon a day are more likely to be obese than people who don't eat bacon. The reason isn't because one rasher of bacon is piling on the pounds, but that the sort of person who eats bacon daily is probably the sort of person who eats alot of other things daily.
Maybe it's just one of those accidental links. I think if you ate an egg a day as part of a really healthy and balanced diet it wouldn't be worse for you than smoking.0 -

Or the pirates were the only thing standing between us and global warming. Like some sort of secret society that staved off impending doom and we never even knew it until it was too late...
I'd watch that movie.0 -
boy, i sure hope that study is BS
i eat between 2 and 5 hard boiled eggs a day.. (while losing 2 pounds a week)
but oh well.. i did smoke for 20 years and that didn't kill me, here's hoping the eggs don't either!0 -
I'm not sure what to think of that "study" yet, especially given the source from the link you provided...
"Spence added the effect of egg yolk consumption over time on increasing the amount of plaque in the arteries was independent of sex, cholesterol, blood pressure, smoking, body mass index and diabetes. And while he says more research should be done to take in possible confounders such as exercise and waist circumference, he stresses that regular consumption of egg yolk should be avoided by persons at risk of cardiovascular disease."
So they haven't taken into account other factors such as waist circumference and exercise? What other things haven't they taken in to account? It seems pretty premature to make the assumption egg yolks are that bad if other factors can contribute to the results. Of course, that is based on my completely non-professional opinion
I read your quote there and stopped at "sex" and immediately started thinking about the effect that sex might have on my arterial plaque. I'm not sure I'm in the right mind set for reading studies at this time.
[oh, and i eat the whole egg, generally fried in bacon grease; unless they are hard boiled, then my puppy gets those gross solid yolks.]0 -
I eat eggs everyday and my cholesterol is perfect.0
