They do look good BUT I see about 600 mg. of cholesterol. I do miss my egg!

You'll be happy to know that eggs have been vindicated in the cholesterol issue. For that matter so has saturated fat. The latest research shows that neither contribute to clogged arteries and heart disease.

Can you provide supporting link to this info? I would like to show this to my cardiologist & my physical therapist.

I just started cardiac rehab last week!

rpavich Loc: West Virginia

I wouldn't try to convince him I would ask him to convince me.
The fact is saturated fat and heart disease are not linked. Their connection was based on bad science. Here is a short, humorous video that summarizes the whole thing. If you want the studies behind it all then look up Gary Taubes books

Thanks for the reply.

I wouldn't't advise going against doctors orders but I had a heart attack 30 years ago. I went without eggs for years until a few years ago I figured what the heck I'm 70 years old, survived that heart attack.then later on a bout with cancer. I started eating eggs again and believe it or not my cholesterol dropped even lower. Last check it was126 total with a 2 to 1 ratio. Most of the cholesterol in your body comes from your liver, not your diet. Lousy genetics play a far bigger role in your cholesterol count than diet does.

Gary Taubes has been exposed as a charlatan. The diet he recommends is basically an Atkins diet.


"The Diet Fad of the 21st Century"
Allowing a good 20 years for dieters to forget Dr. Atkins past failure, the book was reissued as Dr. Atkins
New Diet Revolution (though there was not much new about it) in 1992.[39] Along with other retro 70’s
fashions, and this time backed by an aggressive marketing campaign, it became the best-selling fad-diet
book in history[40] achieving "fashion-cult status amongst society figures."[520]
What may have truly made it "The Diet Fad of the 21st Century" (as an editor of the Journal of the
American Dietetics Association coined it)[41] came a decade later with the publication of the infamous
pro-Atkins New York Times Magazine article "What If It’s All Been a Big Fat Lie."[42] Atkins quickly
wrote an editorial for his Web site claiming the article "validated" his work. Gushingly favorable
follow-up stories appeared on NBC’s Dateline, CBS’ 48 Hours, and ABC’S 20/20. The Atkins
corporation claimed literally billions of media hits.[43] By the time the article’s many flaws were exposed
weeks later, the book had already catapulted to #1 on a New York Times bestseller list and Atkins’ net
worth zoomed to $100 million.[44]
The piece was written by freelance writer and Atkins advocate[45] Gary Taubes (who reportedly scored a
book deal from it--and a $700,000 advance).[46] The Washington Post investigated his pro-Atkins article
and found that Taubes simply ignored all the research that didn’t agree with his conclusions.

Atkins Exposed Dr. Michael Greger


Taubes evidently interviewed a number of prominent obesity researchers and then twisted their words.
"What frightens me," said one, "is that he picks and chooses his facts.... If the facts don’t fit in with his
yarn, he ignores them."[47]
The article seemed to claim that experts recommended the diet. "I was greatly offended at how Gary
Taubes tricked us all into coming across as supporters of the Atkins Diet," said John Farquhar, a Professor
Emeritus of Medicine at Stanford. When the Director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the
Washington University School of Medicine was asked to comment of one of Taubes’ claims, he replied,
"It’s preposterous."[48]
"He took this weird little idea and blew it up," said Farquhar, "What a disaster."[49]
"The article was written in bad faith," said another quoted expert. "It was irresponsible."[50] "I think he’s
a dangerous man. I’m sorry I ever talked to him." Referring to the book deal, "Taubes sold out."[51]
What the researchers stressed was how dangerous saturated fat and meat consumption could be, but
Taubes seemed to have conveniently left it all out. "The article was incredibly misleading," said the
pioneering Stanford University endocrinologist Gerald Reaven who actually coined the term Syndrome X.
"I tried to be helpful and a good citizen," Reaven said, agreeing to do the interview, "and I ended up being
embarrassed as hell. He sort of set me up... I was horrified."[52]

That looks delicious. Have you ever considered going to local restaurants and diners and offering to take pictures of their food?

As for hard boiled eggs, I came across this recipe that works perfectly and uses less gas or electricity.

Hard Boiled Eggs

1. Put eggs into a pot and cover generously with water.
2. Bring to a boil and immediately turn off the burner.
3. After one minute, cover the pot and remove from heat.
4. Let the eggs sit in the hot water in the covered pot for at least 12 minutes.
5. Either remove the eggs and put them into cold water, or drain the hot water and add cold. Do this several times so the eggs can cool.
6. If you are not using the eggs right away, put them into a covered container in the fridge. Eat them within five days.
