Marilyn's Photos - mar 27 2026 - Eat Eggs Every Day and Then What Happens
Well? What happens? The summary says that contrary to past concerns, dietary cholesterol in eggs has minimal impact on blood cholesterol for most people. It may increase the good cholesterol. That quote is a big change from the past when in 1968, the American Heart Association recommended limiting egg consumption based on cholesterol concerns. This was based on studies that showed a correlation with cardiovascular disease. However, the studies turned out to be flawed, very flawed. The egg industry had to embark upon a journey of funding more scientific studies - they showed the correlation was false. It took a long time and many studies.
How long was it? That 1968 declaration was wasn't put to rest until 1999 with a large, long term population study on egg intake and cardiovascular disease incidence which showed no correlation. Not until 2002 did the AHA update its egg restriction guideline. That's how we come upon headlines like: "The Fifty Year Rehabilitation of the Egg."
So even after 50 years of significant amounts of research and proof, the what happens is answered: - they might help you fell more full and energized - they may make your hair and skin healthier - they might help you think more clearly - they may improve your vision - they might strengthen your bones - your heart health might improve
Two expressions of weak or hypothetical possibilities that seems a bit sorry after such heroic efforts. I found the story of the criminalization and subsequent rehabilitation of eggs HERE.
It is garden time. The Snowdrops are looking wonderful in drifts in the garden along with Winter Aconites. There are early Crocuses that squirrels haven't found, and Iris Reticulata. This crocus is a later variety - Pickwick - it will be blooming soon.
