    Eggs are not fit for human consumption if one is looking to increase ones lifespan.

    Just in case any of you are willing to reconsider, i urge you to view some or all of a series of short videos on Dr. Greger's nutritionfacts.org :

    Good for you. I was gonna link to same, but I find folks here by and large
    just love to hear good things about their bad habits.

    I got a lot of snark last time I posted a contrarian idea about dairy. But I'm
    with you, eggs will ruin your health long term.

    I've added eggs back in. My diet shake and two hard-boiled eggs for breakfast is 310 calories and makes me very satisfied. If eggs are bad, that's fine. But if I have to eat twice as many calories to be satisfied then aren't I just as screwed?

    Not sure if this is a serious question or who you're asking, but I'll bite.

    I enjoy a third cup of dry oatmeal (cooked with water) with blueberries and
    flax seed for less than 200 cals and I'm very satisfied. But to each his own.

    If you want to eat eggs, I don't care, but folks shouldn't be fooling themselves
    into thinking it's health food.

    Eggs, like so many other natural foods, have their pros and cons, their health benefits and detriments. Beets have a lot of sugar. Garlic can cause intestinal distress. I side-eye Dr. Greger not because he isn't qualified (he is) but because of how aggressively he pushes his agenda. Veganism is a good choice for a myriad of reasons, but I just can't believe Dr. Greger is unbiased in his research and presentation thereof.

    Eggs do not contribute to heart disease, and are one of the healthiest foods on the planet!

    Ahh.. eggs! One of my favourite morning breakfasts is poached eggs on toast with avocado. Divine!! I think seeing this post has convinced me to incorporate eggs into breakky tomorrow. :)

    Count me in! We have chickens and there is nothing better than collecting and then cooking fresh eggs. Alas, I am not the only one that likes fresh eggs. It seems we have a black snake that loves them also. Ha ha.

    I found a great recipe for egg salad using cottage cheese instead of mayonnaise. Mix one whole egg and the white only of another egg with 1/3 cup cottage cheese. Add salt, pepper, and a little mustard if you like. It is so good with very little calories and a ton of protein.

    Thanks for this...it will be my lunch today!
    My new favorite is a poached egg on a salad....yum.....

    Meh, I eat eggs and shrimp and beef and all the cholesterol containing foods. My total cholesterol is a low 127 with excellent hdl:ldl.. My grandmother ate two eggs every day of her life. She died in her 90s.

    I like Reeses Peanut Butter eggs. Does that count?

    Only around Easter.

    I have 2 eggs every morning too. I just switched to one whole egg and 6 tbsp egg whites a few weeks ago.

    We have one dozen hard boiled eggs in our fridge plus another 2 dozen not cooked at any given time. We love eggs at this house. And because we're both so physically active, it's not like our cholesterol is suffering at all.
    Love them. Just had one for breakfast/pre run meal!

    I eat eggs, I love eggs. When I don't eat enough eggs my hemoglobin is low...blah!

    I was under the care of a dietitian for years and limited my eggs, beef and other "high cholesterol foods" and my cholesterol bordered on being high. When I switched to a lower carb way of eating and increased my fats, which included eating eggs 3-4 a day, my cholesterol went down and my HDL went up...even my triglycerides dropped from 76 to 36! I'd say eggs are just fine for me.

    I do think some people do better with less animal products and others do better with more. I am one of those more folks myself.

    I'm not going to read any of that, but is it because of the yolks? I only eat hard boiled eggs, and I never eat the yolk. Am I still not "increasing ones lifespan" by eating hard boiled egg whites?

    My cholesterol is extremely low - along with my blood pressure - and I eat up to 36 eggs a WEEK. Yes, a week.

    Still waiting for the time bomb to go off.... in the meantime, I'll have me an omelette. With cheese.
