Eating egg yolk is almost as bad as smoking when it comes to coronary artery disease

My father died on his 98th birthday after eating many eggs a day.

I think this is the original study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22882905

Really small study, performed on patients who already had atherosclerosis.

Also they didn't look at any meaningful outcome. No one cares if your "plaque area" is 129 mm vs 132 mm. That's not a meaningful outcome. Mortality or risk of heart attack would be a real endpoint, but they didn't look at either of these. This study shouldn't be a reason to change your dietary choices.

This is the Best Bullshit of 2016!

This is better than Trump winning!

I eat over 60 eggs, 3 gallons of milk and 6 quarts of Cobani plain yogurt a week and my total cholesterol is less than 150. Eggs do not give you high cholesterol other lifestyle fattie foods such as meat, pork, alcohol and junk food give you high cholesterol. If you are over weight it causes more health problems.

Are you going to come up with a video that aspertame gives you brain cancer?

This is the Best Bullshit story of 2016.

More than 7 eggs, almost a half gallon of milk and a quart of yogurt a day? Yikes, I'd burst. I stick to the antioxidant diet, green tea, red wine and dark chocolate.

Ahh but does smoking egg yokes cause lung cancer? It seems like an odd comparison, like saying "Eating donuts is worse than smoking crack for causing diabetes".

If those 7 eggs are consumed Rocky style then clearly you lose an egg or so on your chin, hand and down the side of the glass. That is a lot of protein for your kidneys to process as well but if those are your only protein based items then it is doable. Depending on the size of the eggs and type of milk that comes out to 1,100-1,300 calories per day just from those items.

I eat 2 poached eggs on buttered English muffins daily and maybe drink a glass of whole milk every week. I do wish I could supply my own milk which I used to take raw from my milk tank when I had my dairy farm 30 plus years ago. I have a LDL of 29 HDL 48 ! BP 120/80 +/- I weigh in at 185 for a 6 foot 77 year old guy sitting in a chair. I eat my big meal of the day about 1 or 2 in the early afternoon. Maybe a little cereal or ice cream at 7 or 8 PM with my evening prescribed pills. This seems to work for me. Of course there are some meds involved with maintaining my "numbers" No booze drugs "any more" (pain prescribed) or smokes.

No, no, no! (Stamps foot.) Eggs are good for us. Eating them doesn't cause heart disease.

Hello Bob Sullivan. I used to drive to a farm north of Dallas and do exactly that...buy fresh raw milk. Ah, delicious! And it's so much better for us than pasteurized.

[slow_runner]

Pasteurised is near dead milk.
For the most part, the farm milk we used to have ready access to, stored longer on the shelf. The fats protected it and when the milk was digested, they were not readily absorbed and so, passed out the exit door.
This modern stuff fills your arteries with fat, even the low fat rubbish for this reason. In the process, the fats are fractionated and reconstituted to give us the 'healthy' % selection milk. It is worse than homogenised.

"Eating donuts is worse than smoking crack for causing diabetes".

Well expressed:-)
You could be onto a good earner.
The Diabetes Foundation likely would pay good money for that catchphrase lol

About to enjoy 2 poached eggs over 12 grain bread myself - with real butter.

I burn around 3,500-5000 calories a day, I'd call that a snack

Was replying to Patton about the 7 eggs, milk, yogurt, being around 1,300 calories.

That's great caloric output. If I consume 2,100-2,200 calories per day my weight stays about the same. When I diet I need to consistently drop under 1,900 per day to observe any noticeable weight loss. I'm a C7, so I can only manage so much caloric output per day.
