I’m new to this site and while I believe a moderate amount of eggs are good for you, I don’t think high amounts of protein are beneficial. In fact too much can be bad. check this out, study says too much can shrink your brain.

you probably have the “Methuselah” gene like me, we can eat all the cholesterol we want and not raise our cholesterol level. This study says eggs are better than a bagel? duh

Andrew R –

“these data suggest that high levels of egg consumption (daily) are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in men and women.”

“Associated” is the key word here. There may be a correlation, but there also may be a correlation between people who eat more eggs and their likelihood of eating a higher carb diet overall. This sort of study is good food for thought, but can be a bit misleading.

Hey Mark,

I took a look at the study provided at the following link and it is very lacking, however, I was hoping that you could help me better understand why it’s lacking and what’s wrong with it. It’s basically a post claiming that eating more than 7 eggs a week can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes:

Thanks for your help!

All the Best,

I eat a dozen or more eggs a week – yolks and all! – and have for a year or more. My cholesterol, measured a couple months ago was 78 (hdl/good), 76 (ldl/bad).

Eggs are freakin’ fantastic for you and they make for a great breakfast. I recommend them boiled hard: age them for a week so they peel easily, boil a dozen at a time (13 minutes covered w/burner turned off), store unpeeled in the fridge and grab a couple in the morning. Great lightly salted and the perfect compliment to whole wheat toast and hot tea.

That’s a relief. I find the egg whites so tasteless. Good thing about eggs is not only are they tasty but they’re also quite versatile and simple to prepare.

Now if only the rain would stop so I can go to the shops and get some

I love eggs!! Yolks and all. But can I point out the obvious? Anyone eating a 1,000-freaking-calorie diet is going to lose weight (and inches) like crazy. That’s a starvation diet. I don’t care if it is 1,000 calories of gummy bears and Hershey’s, you’ll still lose weight. Sometimes I feel really bad for people in studies…
