Don't you just love those scientific studies? One day the egg is good, the next day the egg is bad. For an egg lover like myself, it drives me a little crazy, but I keep on eating eggs, trusting that if there is enough nutrition in there to nurture a chicken from embryo to chick, it must be good for me.
It seems that the controversy has been re-visited and it might explain my good cholesterol levels. I eat a lot of eggs and now, again, it is good for me.
The new study says that cholesterol rich foods do not raise cholesterol levels in the body. Saturated fats, trans fats, obesity, and smoking raise those bad (LDL) cholesterol levels. In fact, a person on a calorie reduced diet can actually lose weight eating eggs everyday, while reducing cholesterol! So bring on the eggs and enjoy them.
And here is another home grown theory ( a good justification for bad behavior) that may prove to be right some day. Fry the eggs in butter. Butter comes from milk. Milk is that white stuff that calves drink from the day of birth to whenever and all the nutrition they need is in there, sort of like the egg white and the egg yoke. So, combine the egg with the butter and you will be healthy, happy and guilt free. Then smear large amounts of the butter on your white toast (there is the white again, the pattern if you will .... white yolk, white milk, white bread) and remember that I said you were allowed. LOL.

So now I can feel guilt free when I consume my 3 egg omelet or my double egg and ham sandwich... works for me, LOL.
That's great!!! I remember Grandpa Boldt was told to stay off all those "fatty foods" including eggs, bacon, toast with butter and so on. The first time he met Yuri...Yuri was preparing himself breakfast...complete with all the food that Grandpa was told were bad for him. Grandpa came into the kitchen and assumed Yuri's breakfast was for him...so Yuri gave it to him and won his heart over at that very instant. :)
