love eggs in any form. Also have high cholesterol might have to go on statins. As T2 how many a week should I eat??
 
As many as you like, I think - the concept of eating eggs or cheese or meat increasing cholesterol which increases the possibility of heart attacks and strokes seems to be incorrect, as statistics show no reduction in such things in general, despite all the information about it being good for us.
When someone checked, the cholesterol in eggs was not the same as the cholesterol inside the person who ate a lot of them for the purpose of finding out such things for definite.
I even found a study which - when analysed - showed that the modern group of survivors of heart attacks, on low fat, had more people dying than the reference group from previous data.
I sent an enquiry about that, wondering if it was due to the first aid treatment bringing back people who would otherwise have died, so that the modern group were more fragile - but the whole thing vanished away overnight....
 
Hi @KTNIC - don't worry about eggs, they're fine for people with Type 2 and don't worry about the cholesterol either, that's a bit of a myth. Hardly any of the cholesterol comes from what we eat as 80% is made by the body itself 🙂
 
encouraged by this site. I ' joined' another Diabetes Forum, but I don't think we had the same supportive sense of humour.
Hope I don't irritate with my constant queries, but this site is eggsactly what I need!
 
I also have found forums where they never crack anything, not even a smile.
 
Oooh - I love egg custard! Might well be having a version of that for pud tonight now you've said that!

Eclairs, choux buns, profiteroles (as long as the cream is unsweetened and there's not too much chocolate involved!) 🙂
 
I always used to pick out a custard tart when I was little and went to the bakery with my Mum 🙂 Unfortunately, they now give me a elluva spike :( My other favourite was a 'coffee jap' - anyone remember those? 🙂

If OH comes home from Morrisons with reduced custard tarts, I will eat the nutmeggy custard and just a crumb or two of the pastry rim, leaving 95%+ of the pastry. Yummmm!

Jap cake brings back memories, I can't have had one for over 50 years. My mother (Yorkshirewoman) thought buying shop cake was almost sinful, but once she went back to full time teaching in the mid 50s found Baking Day was difficult to fit in. She made an exception every half term as a treat, buying a Jap cake from a local baker's. One large cake, not individual ones, and no pink blob on top, it was covered with thin chocolate rolls.
