BS: eggs

mmmm I could eat 5 or 6 deviled eggs at a time but a 30 year study has concluded that an 8% increase in heart disease risk goes up with every half yolk you eat per day.

I'm not surprised. Tempura paint is made with egg yolks and it sticks to walls after a 1,000 years. We don't need it sticking to our arterial walls.

Maybe I'll cut back but there are so many great things to make with eggs. I like eggs like Homer likes donuts.

I love eggs as well.
If breakfast hasn't got eggs in it,
then a later meal will feature eggs.
Love 'em every day.

Do you all love 'em as much as Edith Massey?

I like eggs, except fried, deviled, hard, poached, or soft boiled. Gimme scrabbled, or an omelet. It's just a quirk.

When I trained at a serious gym, the champion body builder who ran it
advised a breakfast of egg whites for protein - but never eat the yolks...

I can't remember my brekkies back then *, but they certainly didn't include any part of an egg...

[*Probably peanut butter on toast and fruit...???]

Duh.. my breakfast was mostly a hearty bowl of whole grain porridge..
of course it was - for several years of fitness training...

I've been told by someone who is in the medical profession that this egg
study is somewhat flawed. If this is the same study as mentioned above; it was really more of a questionaire than a scientific study with a control group.

And a lot of these studies seem to reverse course every few years - eat eggs don't eat 'em - have more carbs than protein, oh nooooooo have more protein than carbs -
coconut, no coconut, yes coconut .

And have you read the latest studies on wine?

Phooey, as Groucho Marx said (or may have said) : sometimes a cigar
is just a cigar. And he lived to be 100, give or take a yolk or two.

Actually I meant to say George Burns - Groucho lived quite a while too, but it was George who lived to be 100. But then, George smoked a lot more cigars.

I'm glad my cardiologist allows me one egg a day. I sure enjoy it, but no more 3-egg omelettes.

one egg a day. is une eouf for anyone

but no more 3-egg omelettes for eggs ample?






(I can do worse - just egg me on)

BTW Geroge Burns booked the London Palladium for his 100th year tour but sadly left us 1 year short. Close but no cigar............ I'll crawl back into my shell.

Why is it that any media or advertising pictures of boiled eggs show them in an eggcup with the top removed, and usually with a piece of bread stuck in the top, but always with the yolk spilling down the side and over the eggcup. It makes me so cross. So messy and wasteful.

Cutting out eggs may help me live longer.
If I can't eat eggs, then I don't want to live longer.

Eggs should be shot with lead shot -> result (only if you are a good marksman ;-) )

Sack your cardiologist, Joe. Eat eggs with freedom. They don't affect your blood cholesterol and are incredibly good for you. As with everything, just eat them in moderation.

How can eggs be bad for you? Snakes love eggs and I've never seen a fat snake.

Being 'bad for you' isn't always the same as 'makes you fat'. There are things that don't make you fat, but that do 'make you dead'.

However, I don't think that is usually the case with eggs. I did hear of an experiment (sorry no cross-reference, but I'm pretty sure it was on a health-themed programme on BBC Radio 4) where patients who were being monitored were divided into two groups - one group ate no eggs or products containing egg, and the other group ate three eggs a day. There was no difference in the results for either group.

eggs definitely make a difference to the smell of your farts...

One of my longest lasting memories of primary school morning assembly,
when the vicar from the church next door
was leading prayers...
Someone somewhere in the hall let out an extremely deadly eggy silent killer,
which came close to gassing us all...

Btw.. Go to work on an egg...

Researchers concluded some time ago that eating cholesterol doesn't mean it elevates your body's cholesterol. You make other foods into cholesterol.

Eat your eggs if you want to!

There's no candle inside. Eggsactly! They forgot to leave a way to put one in!
But the design cries out for it. Perhaps a micro LED would do the job.

It was a valid 30 year study.

No, no, no!
