Yes, I remember the endless LDL and HDL cholesterol public health debates in the 1980s, especially arounds chicken eggs. When I was older, I learned that the Japanese consume a phenomenal amount of eggs per capita -- over 300 per year(!). (Raw egg over rice is a common breakfast dish.) Yet, the Japanese have much lower incidence of heart disease (per capita) than the United States. The reasons are multi-factor -- not all of which are understood.
