Great. Now if they can also reverse their position on bacon fat, we can have a proper breakfast.

I love eggs, but I don't go anal with them. ...Omelettes anyone? ...Or scrambled? ...Sunny-side up, with hash browns, and sliced tomatoes? ...Hard boiled?
Wanna know about my favorite breakfast? :b

I love eggs, omelettes, hard boiled, deviled, soft boiled, poached, scrambled nice and wet, sunny side up and runny, fried hard if I want a change. There's hardly a way I don't love eggs. They are quick and easy to make. It has been my staple for breakfast for decades.
I'm with ya! Usually always have a few in my fridge to munch on or make a quick egg-salad sandwich with. Love 'em in many salads as well!
during the late '70s you couldn't turn on the tv or open a newspaper w/o seeing yet more evidence eggs were terribly bad for you. that and the war on butter were two major faux pas the media latched onto for many years. I love eggs and all the better when fried in butter!
I remember people switching to margarine and would never have a stick of butter in the house. Fast forward to today and butter is good again!
Rocky (Balboa) drinks a large glass of eggs (a dozen) each morning!
He's a pro boxer, and it is part of a well balanced diet for people who want to be in top physical (and spiritual) shape.
Well, look at me too, and Gary. :b
________________ I use olive oil now (before I was using butter), which is better and easier, for the digestion.
Unccoked eggs are unhealthy on many levels. OTOH, cooked egg whites are probably the best protein source available.
Back to the OP though, isn't this old news? I thought the myth about eggs being bad for one's cholesterol had been laid to rest a couple of decades ago? Butter, OTOH, still causes problems, although probably no worse than margarine that is high in trans fats. Fortunately, there has been trans fat free margarine around for 40+ years, even though it was unpopular in the marketplace for most of that time.
Not at all. Do a google search and how many nutritional pamphlets from leading institutions still promote this myth. Actually far from accepted.
Not to mention some saturated fats are primary energy sources for the heart.
Hmmm. My doctor just told me to cut out eggs from my diet. I'm not going to stress over it, though.
Sure a doctor knows more than I do (hell, most everyone knows more than I do
), but I don't buy into cutting out eggs or beef or whatever altogether...at least not if your health is fine. If your cholecterol level, blood pressure and the like are at alarming proportions, then ok.
People need to be aware of their own health care risks and always eat in moderation those things which potentially put them at risk
