[Guest guest]

Benefits of 3 whole eggs per day in a study is discussed at:

Bottom line: the more eggs, the less inflammation.

This review discusses a series of studies using 3, maybe 4 in some,

eggs per day:

I just saw this article on Hyperlipid about a man who eats 25 eggs a day:

How%20many%20eggs%20per%20day%3F

It's a bit anecdotal, but a great read.

No you don't - just respect their right to be different, smile, and

~~~ good article. However, this statement from the

article, " high amounts of dietary cholesterol " doesn't really identify

how many eggs or how often consumed or for how long. Got any more up

your sleeve? The guy is wanting hard facts. He challenges me on a

regular basis to scientifically prove much of the things I throw at

him. He's 65, fairly heathly, about 20 lbs overweight and eats a

fairly clean diet. He also, for the most part, agrees with me. He

just wants me to dig a little deeper before I encourage others to

consume foods that go against the " experts. "

That's not the article -- it's the abstract. Like I said, they're

talking about 3-4 eggs/day.

I would hunt down the full text of that article. If you can't get it

from a library or something, email me offlist and I'll help you get

it.
