Associations of Egg Consumption with Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality

Oh great, another one of those bs self reporting nutritional studies over super long periods of time. 17.5 years and they only followed up once from what I can tell. Can you accurately report what you ate over the last 17.5 years?<p>Even over the past week can be difficult as I realized when I started tracking my food in MyFitnessPal. Unless consistently tracking, it&#x27;s pretty easy to be very far off from what you actually eat.<p>That&#x27;s assuming people are even trying to be accurate. Many look on the past with rose tinted glasses and forget about indulgences and snacks.<p>These studies are plague on the industry and need to go away.

Choline is an extremely important element for health. Recent studies have shown that it has a dramatic positive effect on fatty liver disease, other ailments.<p>Egg yolk is a major source of choline. Fatty liver disease has seen a dramatic increase since people have removed eggs from their diets.<p>This study is questionable as other commenters have mentioned. I&#x27;m not buying the &quot;eggs are bad&quot; sentiment again.

Eggs. Every decade 180° turn. If you don&#x27;t like this paper just wait.

Eggs are often consumed with a heaping order of carbohydrates.<p>Are we talking eggs here? Or Egg McMuffins with side orders of hash browns, drizzled with ketchup?

I wonder who funded this research?<p>Did it also account for frequent egg-eaters tendencies to maintain a particular kind of diet regarding other foods, and other similar associations?

&quot;Associations of Dietary Cholesterol or Egg Consumption&quot;<p>Yes, eggs are good way to ingest cholesterol, but in the classic American diet, they are certainly not the only way. It feels suspect for them to pull eggs, and only eggs, into the spotlight.

Here&#x27;s another study reaching the opposite conclusion: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;heart.bmj.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;104&#x2F;21&#x2F;1756" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;heart.bmj.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;104&#x2F;21&#x2F;1756</a><p>The key difference is &quot;Among US adults...&quot; versus &quot;Among Chinese adults...&quot;<p>Hmmm, maybe it&#x27;s not the eggs?

But I like eggs damnit.<p>Edit 1. My comment was made on a submission, which I did not think would gain much notice. Oops. Low quality comment to the fore!<p>Edit 2. Really though, I eat a couple of eggs a day. I should scale it back anyway, as a hedge, and eat non-traditional (In USA) breakfasts, like rice and beans.

Totally commonsensical theory. Just have eggs and coffee together. The effects negate each other and while you are at it toss some garlic and olive oil in the egg scramble. No need to thank me.

Amid the neverending diet controversy it seems safest to do low carb (non-keto), medium high-quality fat of which a majority is monounsaturated, medium protein - and be aware not to reduce saturated fat too much as it&#x27;s not that scary after all, but also don&#x27;t go overboard like some of the somewhat extreme saturated fat advocates that have appeared in the last few years.

I call bullshit. Classic case of correlation != causation.

I wonder if statins remove the additional risk.
