How long have they been saying eggs = cholesterol?

[Ray1990]

I just checked egg prices in England, 6 free range eggs cost £2.80.

Eggs are good for you, I'm not dietician though. In my experience cholesterol levels aren't always affected by diet. My doctor wanted me on statins at 29 due to crazy high levels but it had absolutely nothing to do with my diet. It was all stress.

It's always worth remembering that the majority of people are flooding their bodies with stuff it really doesn't need. Sedentary lifestyles where their liver is constantly breaking down sugars and carbs is going to make changes to the body's chemistry. The way I see it is eggs are an unprocessed source of nutrients which are always going to be better than highly processed stuff. The body should be working for nutrients.

Bird flu has been a big problem in the UK the last few years, for a while all eggs were battery farmed due to regulations and the risk of spreading disease. I can't really argue with measures to stop cross species diseases, I always find it funny that our highest successes tend to be the most threatening to our existence... Farming and cross species disease will always be a sword of Damocles hanging over us.

So yeah, eat eggs. If cholesterol and salmonella doesn't kill you maybe the bird flu will!

Apparently, that was the conclusion they reached some 25 years ago, that not all people are affected the same way by ingesting cholesterol.

In my case it was mostly, apparently, from lack of exercise, as soon as I started my daily walks my cholesterol and my diabetes got much better.

If you're worried about bird flu and eggs, don't eat eggs raw.  For the record, cooking meat and eggs to normal temperatures from chickens that are/may be contaminated with bird flu destroys the virus.

Eggs contain all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete protein source.  Every part of the egg is edible.  The shell ground finely provides calcium.  

"The eggshell membrane contains collagen (types I, V, and X), as well as glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid. These are all known to be important for joint and connective tissue health, potentially helping with conditions like arthritis and promoting overall joint function. "

Boil your egg shells and pulverize them, use with other supplements in drinks or soups etc. 

I am passionate about including eggs in daily diets unless one has allergies to sulfer.   They are cheap - well they were, they're filling, they can be prepared in a multitude of ways to change the flavor and texture profile, thereby alleviating food fatigue from them ,and they're a super food that you can 'grow' and attain on your own.

Many years ago, I just happened to have cholesterol levels before Easter one year and as usual, ate way too many eggs, according to the medical science of the day.  I then had labs done with cholesterol levels checked again a few weeks later while still consuming lots of eggs and my results were the same.  No fluctuation of cholesterol levels whatsoever.  Since then, I have consistently poo-pooed the 'science' recommending low consumption of eggs.

For anyone out here who is questioning intake of cholesterol there was new science discovered researched put out the last year or two, intake of cholesterol does not raise blood cholesterol. it gets excreted. 
What raises blood cholesterol is intake of saturated fat.

"
Although dietary cholesterol was once singled out as a contributor to heart disease, the 2019 science advisory said studies have not generally supported an association between dietary cholesterol and cardiovascular risk. "

Isn't it troubling that the AHA has been known to be "influenced" enough to participate in 'bending public perception' to suit major commercial and political concerns?

And here they are spilling the beans on something that was very likely changing the public health profile for decades.
... with their FULL... but now considered ignorant well-meaning help.

So go ahead and "eat eggs" or whatever they say....

For once, I happen to agree that some foods traditionally thought of a natural components of our diet are ALWAYS questioned by commerce as suspect... imagine that.

Of course, they have a solution.... soon to be  marketed.... "Syntheggs™".

I guess someone woke up from the delusion and said...

"We can't keep doing this forever... feigned wisdom has a shelf-life."

Your body and brain tells you what it likes and what it doesn't if you clean it out enough to pay attention. 
There will never be total one size fits all solutions of course, but we all have the same basic make-up.
Everything in moderation is my motto.
As far as regular habitual diet, not holidays or special occasions, 
Cheese and Eggs on weekends, not during the week, for example. 
Wine with dinner, but only one or two weekend meals, not during the week.
etc etc 
Also you notice beyond the basic choices of what to eat when, the quality of which brands you pick.
If I feel like crap after eating that bratwurst, too slow and fat, maybe it was not a quality bratwurst, maybe it had too much added crap or fat.

My friend has ducks and chickens. She gives me farm fresh chicken eggs. If they are unwashed you never have to put them in the fridge. 

Today she gave me big nasty looking duck eggs. I cooked on today. The yolk was super big.

I never eat the yolk. Whites only. Egg whites = no cholesterol.

We never put the eggs on the fridge, we keep them in their cartons.

PS: my dinner today is going to be an omelette with oat flakes, a little milk and lots of garlic and pepper.

Yum. 

Here in the states people think eggs need to go in the fridge lol. 

What time is dinner?

Maybe denser living conditions makes a stash of eggs into 'bait' for critters...
(who usually can't open a fridge... usually.)

I don't know, I remember growing up around a kitchen in which a load of eggs was hanging in a basket from the ceiling...  I never thought about having to refrigerate them until my wife "civilized" me.
