People who eat an egg just about every day may have a lower risk of heart attack and stroke than individuals who don’t eat eggs at all, a large Chinese study suggests.
Researchers examined survey data on egg consumption among 461,213 adults who were 51 years old on average. When they joined the study, none had a history of heart disease. Overall, they ate an average of half an egg daily; about 9 percent of them avoided eggs altogether while 13 percent ate roughly one egg every day.
At least half of the participants were followed for nine years or more. During that time, 83,977 people developed heart disease or had a heart attack or stroke, and 9,985 died from these conditions.

Wow....remember not long ago the little delights would take you out of here. FDA needs to do their job instead of failing at it. My father smoked Camel's since his teens or earlier. Hard to tell how long he would have live after his death at 97, if he had stopped smoking.
Remember when they used to tell you to have several small meals a day to keep your metabolism running? Now "intermittent fasting" is all the rage. Eat 1 or 2 large meals close together, then nothing for 18 to 20 hours. Used to be "eat a low fat diet." Now it's "eat a high fat diet." I can't wait for the day they tell me how healthy Doritos and ice cream are for you!!!
Love, love, love eggs. Eat at least 2 per day.
Smoking causes lung caner. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death for men and women. It is estimated that 155,870 (84,590 men and 71,280 women) deaths from this disease will occur this year.
