Looks like the "Scientific Consensus" on cholesterol has been wrong for 40 odd years. But hey, on global warming - trust us!
"The nation's top nutrition advisory panel has decided to drop its caution about eating cholesterol-laden food, a move that could undo almost 40 years of government warnings about its consumption.
The group's finding that cholesterol in the diet need no longer be considered a “nutrient of concern” stands in contrast to the committee's findings five years ago, the last time it convened. During those proceedings, as in previous years, the panel deemed the issue of "excess dietary cholesterol" a public health concern."
"The finding, which may offer a measure of relief to breakfast diners who prefer eggs, follows an evolution of thinking among many nutritionists who now believe that for a healthy adult cholesterol intake may not significantly affect the level of cholesterol in the blood or increase the risk of heart disease."
Eggs. Not the balls of death that your government told you they were. Now, where is that side of bacon?
my doctor told me this at least 10 years ago. but then he was smart enough to think for himself and not follow the latest rage!
ReplyDeleteSo, it seems that 10,000 years of humans eating eggs will not bring a premature end to the species...
ReplyDeleteI like my eggs scrambled, and mixed with Chickenmom's special spices she sent me from New Jersey. Mmmmm!
DeleteA true berserker, never stopped eating eggs, BACON, butter.
