More than 6 eggs a week can increase chance of death?

That is why you don't eat the yolk.

sweet i love reading these articles.. i just hope they drop the prices of eggs so i can buy mine for less.. people have been living on eggs since the beggining of time no point stopping now.. i want them to do a study on lifters and bb who eat lean and consume eggs and let them tell us how long we have.. i bet the people they poll eat more fast food then they do eggs.

Im with you man. I hope a dozen eggs drops down to 50cents. All of the nutrients in the eggs are in the yolk. Dietary cholesterol has very little effect on blood cholesterol levels. You should limit the yolks to keep you cals in check when dieting.

Every egg omlete I make usually has 6 whole eggs, and some cheese for taste, and lately Ive been adding shredded ham/bacon.
Lovely. I know everyone thought eggs were bad but receetly Ive heard form everyone adn everywhere that they lower colestrol and other shit.

I thought I responded to this...
Anyway the study didn't even take into account the ones who only eat egg whites. Also cholesterol orally has little effect on serum cholesterol. Basically they did not indicate in the study what causes death, what nutrient deficiency or excess may be the association or even if the people that did die had pre-existing issues.

Until more science comes out I would ignore that study

I wouldn't even concern myself too much with the calories too much either. The 6 grams of fat amounts to some 48 calories...
Not much to count there. The 24 calories from the 6 grams of protein you lose 30% of those calories of that from digestion anyway

Im with you man. I hope a dozen eggs drops down to 50cents. All of the nutrients in the eggs are in the yolk. Dietary cholesterol has very little effect on blood cholesterol levels. You should limit the yolks to keep you cals in check when dieting.

I understand what you are saying, Im just saying that while dieting I can't afford to eat six whole eggs, that would be 420 cals, then 150 cals from my 1 cup of oats, now we are at 570 cals give or take. This is just too many calories for ME while dieting in one meal. This is the only reason why I cut out the yolks while dieting. If I did this at every meal I would be right around 3500 cals eating like this each of my six meals.

The issue with these sorts of studies is that there are no 'cookie cutter diets'.

One diet does not suit all.

Some people are fine on high saturated fat diets, we know this from studies of the Innuit people (and a few other indigenous groups).

There is also this thing called the 'French paradox'. They eat a lot of rich creamy foods, saturated fat and have a lower incidence of heart disease than in the US.

There is also the 'American paradox'. People are eating less and less fat, but the incidence of obesity, type II diabetes and heart disease are increasing.


When the Danish government decided to push for a low fat diet, as they used to eat a lot of full fat milk and cheese, guess what, 'American paradox' happened and people started to get fat.

If you are concerned about your cholesterol levels, and you are not in a high risk group, then experiment on yourself.

1. Get some blood work done

2. Eat a high fat (with animal fat diet) diet for three-six months

3. Get blood work done


There are some 'metabolic' profiling sites and books that are trying to help people in determining what type of diet is more suited to them.

LOL , I used to down a carton a day, mixed with cheese
Didn't gain a pound... And a 3500 calorie diet isn't abnormal either.
A 3500 calorie or so good for me trying to lift higher poundages and I'm not close to hard core
