“There’s no connection whatsoever between cholesterol in food and cholesterol in the blood. None. And we’ve known that all along. Cholesterol in the diet doesn’t matter at all unless you happen to be a chicken or a rabbit.” -- Ancel Keys

So what about the study? Any theories as to why it seems to show that eating three or more eggs per week can increase your risk of heart disease, as well as early death? The literature says they somehow factored out other lifestyle things such as what egg eaters tend to eat with the eggs etc. Maybe it's because they didn't consider inflamation? Maybe it's that eggs (and other LDL containing foods) can increase heart disease risk in chronically inflamed bodies?

I do believe it is clear that cholesterol does not cause heart disease and that eating cholesterol does not make your cholesterol high. And that eggs contain many high-quality nutrients, including proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. But what do I say to people who say "but science proved they raise your risk of heart disease"? Would like Dr. Mercola's perspective on that...

Were the extra eggs consumed with extra toasted bread with margarine? What fat were the eggs cooked in? What did the people eat who didn't eat eggs? Did they look at confounding factors?

Why is there no longer a search capability? Or is it available somehow?
