IN MY OPINION
Today’s Science is Tomorrow’s Snake Oil
I don’t know what to believe anymore
In the end, it was the eggs that broke me.
I grew up being told that eggs were Satan’s breakfast and that dietary cholesterol was the devil in a yellow dress.
Now, basically out of nowhere because I’m just an (arguably) normal person who’s not privy to the behind-the-scenes workings of the global medical research establishment, eggs are okay.
The Cleveland Clinic even has this article on their website titled Why You Should No Longer Worry About Cholesterol in Food.
I’m sorry, what?
Squeeze me?
Pardonnez-moi?
I have a high school friend on Facebook who documents her fitness journey (I hate using the word “journey” in this context, but the internet has beaten me into submission) at our ripe old age. She can do things now that I couldn’t do even as a teenager.
At one point, she was eating 20 eggs per day. And no, that’s not a typo.
She would post pictures of herself with the eggs, as proof of life, I guess.
