"Eggs: $7.99/ 5 dozen (13.3 cents/egg) = $.40/day"

Wait, does that mean 3 eggs/day? That would be asking for troubles (cholesterol).

The hypothesis about dietary cholesterol causing heart disease has been debunked.

"Previously, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended that cholesterol intake be limited to no more than 300 mg/day. The 2015 DGAC will not bring forward this recommendation because available evidence shows no appreciable relationship between consumption of dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol, consistent with the conclusions of the AHA/ACC report."

Dietary cholesterol is actually not bad - check out this article for a good overview https://chriskresser.com/the-diet-heart-myth-cholesterol-and...

Have been researching this for a long time. It was hard for me to believe at first, but the science is sound.

Nina Teicholz has a lot to say about the garbage state of nutritional science, the AHA and just how much expensive taxpayer-funded research has been buried over the past 50 years.

I was being coy. I've read Nina's book and heavily researched all of this. I'm glad you and other people know about this stuff. Let's make this common knowledge!
