Not giving up my eggs....

Only bad if they are expired

Didn't look at the study, but appears non-intervention. So it might that health conscious people are still on the no eggs train, rather than the eggs themselves being on the heart attack train.

Eggs have gotten a bad wrap for a long time. For many decades, cholesterol = bad was a accepted as a defacto health fact. So it wouldn't be too hard to draw the conclusion that the results in this study could be influenced by people who were okay with eating the "bad" food of eggs also making other actual unhealthy choices in their diet. The correlation drawn in the study wasn't exactly huge to begin with, so something like that could easily explain the variance.

So many problems with that study.

It's an observational study so the scientists should not draw any conclusions.

Eating cholesterol does not raise cholesterol unless you have FH. That theory is really outdated.

Perhaps the problem was the hashbrowns or toast eaten with the eggs. Perhaps the people are non compliers. Perhaps it was from cooking the eggs with non stick cooking spray....

Cahgetsfit · March 2019

Some days I eat up to 6 eggs.

My bad cholesterol is below the recommended limit thingy in blood tests, and my good cholesterol is above the limit. Has been that way for YEARS. My doctor comments every single year how surprised she is with my off charts cholesterol readings.

So yeah...

At least it is resurrecting an old scare and not giving us a brand new one to fret about - small mercies !

nooshi713 · March 2019

I eat more eggs now than ever and my cholesterol is better than when I didnt eat them.

A link to the JAMA article (above)... unfortunately, the original study is behind a paywall...

My own experience outweighs the opposite.
Lots of whole eggs, sausage, pork, steak, etc. Lowered my cholesterol. Greatly improved my HDL to LDL ratio.
Lowered triglycerides from over 300 down to 45.
So I'll keep my eggs with Neeses sausage, and Carolina Reaper peppers for breakfast.

I don't care, I'm still eating eggs.

cilliandelaney · March 2019

Eggs are so fundamentally part of my diet (pancakes, quiche, French toast 😋😋) don’t worry the science will flip again (thinking of pancakes 😁)

kbmnurse1 · March 2019

Oh well something has got to kill me. Why not an egg?

Spadesheart · March 2019

I feel like in deficits, having unhealthy intake, meaning amounts of nutrients in our food that is truly unhealthy is actually rather difficult.

Eggs are great for weight loss, they're satisfying, high in protein and good fat, and easy and quick to prepare.

On maintainence or bulking where you might be consuming them in excess, this may be a different story.

But the biggest lesson of this all is everything in moderation. Everything. Including moderation once in a while if you enjoy that cognitive dissonance hahaha.

Have your eggs, it's fine. Just don't have 40.

tmpecus78 · April 2019

Been eating 6 eggs a day, guess i'll be dying soon

trbp72 · April 2019

Nonsense science for gullible fools...Eggs are GOOD, TASTY, PROTEIN RICH and NUTRITIOUS...you are fine on the suggested 3 or even 6 day...but like Spadesheart says...40 a day is too many! lol!

Soccermavrick · April 2019

And the air we breath is slowly poisoning us too from pollution. There is a point in time where you wonder who cares enough to continue funding these studies??? Don't we have better things to study like finding a cure for cancer?

"This study did not find a cause-and-effect relationship; it only found an association. And other factors may affect that association. They include the way the eggs were cooked, or changes to peoples' diets that occurred after the study information was gathered..."

I'm generally not into anecdotal evidence, BUT, I just had my cholesterol checked for our health insurance incentive. I was a bit concerned considering I eat eggs almost daily. Well, my numbers were perfect. Triglycerides were actually below 45 and the machine couldn't give a number. Bad cholesterol was in range and good cholesterol was nice and high. I'll continue to eat my eggs.

kshama2001 · April 2019

That settles it, eggs for dinner tonight.

CSARdiver · April 2019

I see that despite objective evidence not changing throughout the past few decades has not stopped scientists, journalists, politicians, and other particular interests from making wild assumptions and predictions.

Gross negligence and disinformation.

I saw the thread title and immediately thought of this video.

Hard boiled eggs are the reason I’ve had so much success with weight loss. When I get a craving for something I have an egg and it keeps me hungry for a very long time.
