        As to the question of the health effects of eggs, raised at the beginning of the text linked in the above post, there is even a large scale prospective study suggesting the more eggs you eat, the longer you live:https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/821814453842874368 …

        “Out of a million #nutrition studies only a few hundred are good quality.” Trying to digest that (pun intended).

        Every time I see a health article saying drinking red wine is good for you I remind myself that these studies rarely correct for important factors like income

        About the only numbers that matters to me when it comes to my diet is my a1c and blood sugar levels. Surely the science on that is clear, and it helps dictate my diet more than anything else. Don't carb stack unless your body is gonna use it, or else you'll wreck yourself

        It's a sign of ignorance on the part of the team that put out this article that they imagine an RCT of nutrition could alter ACM. I don't have access to the full article but the egg industry was clearly stung by the article and is planting articles like this to trash obs. epi.
