[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What study are u talking about?  I think eggs are one of the healthiest things you can eat.[/quote]

Here it is:

Basically, it says egg yolks are almost as artery-clogging as cigarettes. Personally, I'm skeptical of this. If anyone having a medical background would care to comment on the study, your insights would be very welcome!

There are plenty of problems with that study; primarily the fact that the study reviewed egg yolk consumption, but did not gather data on the remaining diet patterns of the subjects. As one critic noted, "A high level of blood cholesterol can lead to arterial plaque,[b] but there are so many factors that can affect your cholesterol above eating eggs[/b]. There's the rest of your diet, whether you're overweight, whether you exercise, genetics."

Don't eat a dozen eggs a day, but one or two each day would likely be fine (as long as they are not followed up with 12 donuts). http://www.health.harvard.edu/press_releases/egg-nutrition[/quote]
