Eggs: good or bad?

I love me some eggs

Eggs are not bad...I just don't like them

I eat eggs (always whole) and include them in recipies and I am healthy as I can be and I lose weigth. And I have a very low cholesterol.
Sunday and Saturdays morning I would always have 2 eggs cooked in one way or another, with a bunch of other stuff and they keep me full for my week-end activities.

They are a great food and I don't see why anyone wouldn't eat them. Except people with medical conditions that involve egg issues.

Eggs are pretty much a perfect food. I eat at least 3 a day.

Eggs along with every other food in the world is good for you in moderation. And considering it's a source of GOOD cholesterol I highly recommend eating them (whole not just the whites).

I've actually always preferred egg whites over yolks, but I try to include some yolks because that's where most of the nutrition is. I usually have 1-2 eggs and, if I want more protein for less fat/calories (I don't have a low-fat diet, but too much fat bothers my stomach), I'll include as many egg whites (100% egg whites from a container so I don't waste yolks) as I'd like.

i eat four eggs a day and have no issues..blood work always comes back near perfect at my annual physical.

You should also consider that most diet-related diseases manifest themselves later in life for most people. Heart disease is our #1 killer and most people don't suffer noticeably from it at a young age.

My point is that you seem to be relatively young, and your health at a young age is not necessarily an indicator of what it could be later in life.

Yes and some diseases that manifest themselves later in life are dependent on what are genetically predisposed to.

You are claiming dietary cholesterol is bad for us and unnecessary so i ask you to present all your supporting evidence on the subject. Not a random article or some writings regurgitating outdated ideologies from the 80's.

One thing that is not supporting evidence of what we know is not the amount of weight we lost. Many people around here have lost plenty of weight. I see you've lost a great amount of weight but that doesn't mean your beliefs are automatically correct.

I didn't make that claim, so I don't feel the need to prove it to you. If you're really interested, you can check out this resource citing studies on disease markers, though:

What I did say is that feeling healthy at a young age does not mean you will be healthy at an old age. Not everyone who succumbs to heart disease, diabetes and etc are overweight or obese, although there is a relationship between the two.

I suppose…however, I have been eating eggs like this for a few years now ..and I get my cholesterol and other blood levels checked once a year and it keeps coming back in the near "perfect" area..I would think if something were wrong that it would start to show up on said blood work ….

I felt just fine when I weighed over 360 pounds, I never got sick and felt like I was in good health... I was obese for over a decade.

One day I started getting chest pain under exertion, then I started getting chest pains completely at rest. Then they became severe. That's when I knew I was dying and I had to change. Yes, I was fat, but I think that mostly means I had the good fortune of discovering the damage of my lifestyle while I was still young.

Believe what you guys are going to believe. We all know I'm not going to convince you no matter how compelling my arguments and I am not interested in wasting my time. Just understand that being and feeling healthy now does not mean you will be and feel healthy in your 50's and 60's. Maybe you will, and I hope you do, but our food system is very broken and it literally kills people.

Eggs are the perfect food and have a bad reputation for nothing.
