i follow a cigarette with an egg, so i think they cancel each other out.
...seems legit0 -
Gaston, every morning, eats FIVE DOZEN eggs, and that dude's roughly the size of a barge!
But he only has enough biceps for himself.....wait....getting an update...... check that, he has biceps to spare.
But he bites when he wrestles. He is a cheater.
AND, not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny, and every last inch of him's covered with hair. . .
Calling all balding, wimpy guys: EAT EGGS!0 -
If you believe this anyway.....
Egg yolks almost as bad for your ticker as smoking, says study
Avert your eyes, egg-lovers. New research from Canada's Western University says eating egg yolks regularly is nearly as effective as smoking cigarettes when it comes to speeding up atherosclerosis, or coronary artery disease. The study looked at 1,231 men and woman with the average age of 61.5 years and found eating three or more egg yolks per week over the years was two-thirds as bad as smoking for increasing carotid plaque on your inner arterial wall, a risk factor for stroke and heart attack. Study authors stressed that "regular consumption of egg yolk should be avoided by persons at risk of cardiovascular disease." Boo! [Source]

** I love eggs and always eat the whole egg it really helps me with my protein goal. I know there are a ton of people here who only eat the white.
While I agree that eggs are ok, Just because something is "natural" has no bearing on if it is ok. Example I would much Rather eat a Tsp of MSG than a Tsp of "all Natural" Arsenic!0 -

When people talk about all natural food, they mean all natural FOOD. Arsenic is obviously not a food, and neither is MSG imo. Your illustration is not logical.0 -
Here ya go!! Arsenic is naturally found in food
http://www.greenfacts.org/en/arsenic/index.htm
From the above link
"Arsenic is a poisonous substance, which is released both from certain human activities and naturally from the Earth's crust.
Humans may be exposed to arsenic mainly through food and water, particularly in certain areas where the groundwater is in contact with arsenic-containing minerals."If you believe this anyway.....

I call BS, simply because this study came from Western.
On a side note, I go to Queen's. WUCK FESTERN0 -
When I eat eggs, I eat whole eggs. I wonder if they considered the possibility that maybe it's what they eat with their eggs that's causing all the trouble. Eggs = whole, real food.0

:ohwell: I suppose this could be true if you inhaled an egg yolk as often as the average smoker lights a cigarette!! :bigsmile:0 -
I eat whole eggs. If I'm going to eat an egg, I'm going to eat the whole thing. It's the whole egg or no egg. I like eggs.0

Put it this way, make everyone in your family smoke 40 a day, in return we'll all eat an egg yolk every day.

You forgot to also mention the potentially deadly levels of perfectly natural cyanide, which is found naturally in bitter almond kernels, which are often ingested mistakenly for their "health" benefits.0 -

Not everyone gets high cholesterol from eating eggs. Not everyone gets fat from carbs. It is body chemistry that matters. Smoking on the other hand, probably is bad for everyone.0

Hey now. Let's not drag the country into this.
There are plenty of idiots in all the countries.0 -
I heard this on the radio this morning. They were saying that if you're over 40, egg yolks are as bad as smoking. As far as your heart is concerned. I can't imagine not having eggs all the time. I'll just have to take my chances.0

This is a rather small study, relied on participant reporting and it did not include other lifestyle issues like red meat consumption or activity levels. I'd like to see the study repeated in a more controlled situation, say with lab animals, and make a comparison of the data to this study.0
