The USDA prohibits eggs from being called safe or nutritious because of their cholesterol and saturated fat content.

Personally, I would not pay any attention to that whatsoever.

Please share your rationale to further the conversation. Certainly each of us are responsible for our own decisions.

Because the recommendation appears to be based on faulty and even corrupt research done over sixty years ago.

It’s too much to go into here, but you could look at the introduction to Gary Taubes’ 2020 book. It’s in the Kindle sample.

I’m 80, have eaten at least two eggs a day for twenty years, and I’m fine. Not particularly overweight and no heart issues.

I read through the sample, thank you for referring it to me. I am somewhat familiar with keto/low-carb diets.

In reviewing Gary’s work, I did come across the study he did under Nutrition Science Initiative, and how the results didn’t support his claims. Have you had a chance to look into this?

(Aside: my dad is around your age, and has not yet quit smoking despite science since he doesn’t have any adverse effects. Be well!)
