Why can't they leave the poor egg alone...?

I wonder if they also checked on how much WHITE BREAD toast they were eating with their eggs?  The whole dietary cholesterol myth just won't go away.  I feel bad for the poor, constantly maligned egg...

Soft option: But seven or more eggs a week increases chances of death by nearly a quarter

Eating an egg a day increases the risk of premature death for middle-aged men, warn researchers.

 

 

They found that consumption of seven or more eggs a week pushed up the chances of dying from any cause by 23 per cent, compared with those who ate fewer.

And eating any eggs at all was linked with an earlier risk of dying in men with diabetes.

The latest research could re-open the debate about how many eggs are safe to eat - an issue which most nutritionists thought had been laid to rest in the last ten years...

hmmm, eggs are cheaper than meat, and contain no corn syrup or soy ,,,always look at the money, you'll see the reason for the test results. industry and agriculture have untold amounts of money to skew whatever study they want to influence sales. they arent picking on eggs they are just pitching other more lucrative protiens/foods.
