I learned absolutely nothing from watching this video.

As a bodybuilder eggs were one of my sources for protein. I used to eat 3 and half dozens of eggs a day. My cholesterol was 100, and I weight 250 LBS, trained for about 2 to 3 hours every day. This was back in the 90. Today I am 55, and I don't train like I used to but I am still training and eat 9 eggs every day. I have a blood and urine test every 4 months and the last results, as usual, were great, my cholesterol is 140, HDL 47, LDL 70, triglycerides 57. I eat about 4 to 5000 calories of food a day and I can guarantee eggs never got me sick, it helped me to build a lot of muscle.

-2015 U.S. dietary guidelines state: "Cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern for overconsumption."
-Choline is needed for brain function, liver function and it's especially necessary for pregnant women and growing children (if they *don't* want to end up with subpar IQ, that is...)
-The studies claiming Eggs lead to diabetes are based on garbage, questionnaire based "observational" studies. These studies are awfully susceptible to confounding factors like people who tend to eat tons of eggs are people who tend to ignore dietary advice. The meta analysis claiming eggs are linked to diabetes *found that the type of person who eats a ton of eggs is the type of person who smokes, drinks more alcohol, doesn't exercise and eat the most calories.* So was it the eggs or all the other crap?

Ever since I started eating eggs everyday, I have noticed my hair became super healthy and shiny and it had more volume to than before. My previous hair was super dry, frizzy, and damaged.
I plan to get a chicken and a hen of my own because I don't want to support the cruel egg industry (plus, the home raised chickens produce the biggest, most delicious orange egg yolks)

[DJASenOfficial]

I came here for answers, ended up getting more confused, now I am scared not only of cholesterol but choline as well.

[niall]

I clicked on this video because i've seen conflicting evidence on whether or not eggs are healthy... and it's full of more conflicting evidence lol.

2.5 eggs a week raises you risk of prostate cancer by 80%? Sorry but I am going to have to call BS on that one.

[eat_ze_bugs]

Bottom line is to just eat whatever you want, no one lives forever anyways.

[minivanlinda]

So...eat cucumbers and dip them in filtered water?

[oztheman]

When you're broke eggs go a long, long way.

[pedroroque]

How are these dudes doctors? They have zero knowledge about medical nutrition lol

[silverwindspirit]

So with all the information and technology we have today, we "still" can't figure out if eggs are good for you. What's up with that action?

[beepbeepnj]

It's interesting that Japan is the country with the highest egg consumption rate in the world. They also have the highest life expectancy, a low cancer rate and one of the lowest obesity rates in the world.

My grandmother ate two eggs religiously every morning with bacon. She never had heart issues and died at the age of 97.

[hectorvazquez]

My grandfather ate one egg once a day for breakfast and never got cancer and lived to 101 years

I have been eating sand for the last two years, it is very nutritious and good for your grave.
