I eat eggs whole because I feel it's wasteful to throw away the yolk. Though sometimes if I poach eggs (I normally eat 2 if I poach eggs) and the yellow is too dry I'll only eat one whole and the white of the other only.

Guys, this is just not true. As a scientist, I am a little frightened that more people have not looked up the data on this and taken issue with his statements. (Did you notice he doesn't actually cite the "studies" he references, so you can't directly fact-check him?) If you are concerned about your health, ignore this man.

Here's a study:

Actually, in that study, they did find a relationship between egg consumption and diabetes.

As I said before, eating whole eggs on occasion, if you are healthy, is great! However, having a high consumption of eggs is not a good idea, especially if you already have risk factors for diabetes or heart disease. Here are 3 recent studies.

Om nom nom - I'm going to continue to enjoy my delicious 2 whole egg chive, salt and pepper omelette

That sounds good! I think I'm going to have to try that! I never buy chives for some reason. Maybe I'll start

Those were 20 year follow up randomized studies using questionaires. Diet pop is associated with weight gain, I read it in a study. You seriously need to expand your research.....try finding contrary data.......it makes for a more balanced opinion.
