Eggs

I remember discussing this with my gp maybe 18-24 months ago as I had stopped buying eggs as I was limited to a two week. Reckoned I would get that much from food I bought. I was delighted when the restriction seemed to be lifted but just ran it by my GP during a consultation. She said, yes it had been lifted but with my personal family history it was not a good idea to have an egg every day. Ooops, I had been making omelettes with 2 eggs at a time and having boiled eggs hot and cold!

I dithered and sort of did what I wanted to do.

But then my brother collapsed and died last year - no warnings, no waking up in hospital, just over and out. His postmortem showed his arteries were clogged and he had just had a massive heart attack. Same way as my dad's death.

I am still going to restrict my intake of eggs. Half a dozen a week will be sufficient - as much as I love them.
 
I agree that eggs are basically 'good for us'.... everything in moderation. good quality organic or at least free range eggs are a brilliant food and the more we buy the more we are supporting free range and organic farmers 😛 I've kept chickens and rescued battery hens..... they are excellent food and as someone says we as humans have been eating them for thousands of years (the eggs I meant... but the chickens are good food too 😉 )

I eat around 4 eggs a week on average

You won't like the views of Neal Barnard, whose vegan management plan for diabetes is being discussed elsewhere on the group. "There are only two things wrong with eggs", says Barnard, "the yolk and the white".🙂
