How much is an egg cost in your area? My neighbor Kroger is 1.39 per dozen eggs.

It isn't opinion that matters; it's data
You can get an opinion from here and there, but you need large numbers to really tell. Study here:
"A Harvard study of over 21,000 male physicians found that men who ate up to 6 eggs a week had no increase in their rate of death. But once they ate a seventh egg, their risk of death went up 23%." http://longevity.about.com/od/lifelo...ggs_health.htm Personally, I think you will be fine (opinion here). But I would not over-do it with the eggs. I only eat eggs sporadically, and if I can, I remove the egg yolks. |
Correlation <> causation.

I probably average an egg per day - and my cholesterol is low.

really? then why are people put on "low cholesterol" diets? A doctor is not likely to give a lot of advice to someone who doesn't have health problems such as high cholesterol. "A Harvard study of over 21,000 male physicians found that men who ate up to 6 eggs a week had no increase in their rate of death. But once they ate a seventh egg, their risk of death went up 23%." Of course, that can mean many things. People who eat too much of one thing are likely not having a varied diet. This group also includes those who eat 40 eggs per week. To the OP, see your doctor, not a travel forum. I doubt that you'd want to talk to your doctor about what program is best for elite status. |
