Drinking zero Alcohol actually decreases the likely hood of you living to a ripe old age.
Is it that Alcohol is healthy in small doses? Probably not. Perhaps people who drink a glass of wine once or twice a month have a less stressful life than someone who never drinks.
That's why nutrition studies are so hard to be done right. You have to literally watch them consume it and you need a control group and it needs to take place over years.
There are books written about Bluezones that say eating meat shortens your life yet HongKong has the both the highest life expectancy and the highest per person meat consumption in the world.
You really have to take every single claim and study with a big giant grain of salt and a whole lot of skepticism.
The real question is, does that even matter?
High cholesterol is also associated with longevity. The ratio of cholesterol is more important. The ratio of waist to shoulder width is more important.
Also your blood a1c is more important for bad outcomes than high cholesterol.
There are zero interventional studies that show eggs to be unhealthy.
In other words no one has given eggs to one group, observed another group not eat eggs and shown that eggs CAUSE a negative health outcome.
Instead people have made statistical calculations on food questionnaires that are highly unreliable.
Also people have fed eggs to people and measured various blood levels and made a educated guess on what the long term effects could be.
If a study by Kelloggs shows eggs to be unhealthy how can it be trusted?
Likewise if members of the study are animal rights activist, vegans or some other ideology that could in one way or another effect their judgement that study shouldn't be trusted. Especially if it is not a interventional study. Of which there are none that show poor health outcomes.
