    Not sure where our definitions of “healthy” foods differ, but I literally wouldn’t call eggs “healthy” whatsoever. There is no single animal product that can even be considered “nutrient dense” much less healthy. Even in world war II, the world had enough saturated fats and excessive animal products that most of the soldiers even in their thirties had already started developing intravascular plaques, and brother, we’re a hell of a long way from that these days…

    Just wanted to jump in and correct you because I don’t know where this eggs are. Healthy thing came from. They are certainly not. They are like eating butter essentially with some protein on top

      Well unfortunately you haven’t got what you wanted, you clearly have a very simple view on nutrition, and a concerning lack of intelligence.

      What is an egg? It is a vessel to grow a living organism in a self-contained environment, providing all the resources needed to do so.

      Resources such as:

      • Vitamins
      • Amino-acids
      • Antioxidants
      • Healthy, unsaturated fats

      If an egg was so bad for your health, I ask you quite simply, how the hell do they support a chick during a very intense time of rapid growth?

      That’s like saying being in a womb is unhealthy for a developing foetus.

      Please, next time, perhaps try updating your knowledge to something a bit more modern than WW2 before “jumping in and correcting” anyone again. With the constant stream of AI slop onto the internet, the last thing we need is human slop too.

        Is this sophistry? Do you know this is a pants-on-head ridiculous thing to say? Not sure what would be worse, frankly. I could list a thousand things that are essential to life and yet kill you if you eat it.

        Eggs are well known to be harmful to human health. Here is a short fully cited essay on the subject that introduces 267 fully cited videos on the same subject. https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/eggs/

          Salmonella

          You cook them, solved.

          High choleserol

          You don’t base your diet on 100% eggs, limiting your diet to any one food will be damaging regardless.

          Prostate cancer

          Sure, higher risk, from what baseline? Varies massively per-person, and people’s risk-tolerance is subjective… Personally I don’t really care.

          Diabetes

          Again, significantly higher chance, from what baseline? 0.02 is 100% higher than 0.01, misleading.

        a concerning lack of intelligence.

        This reads like you are so insecure you have to personally attack people to cope with your own emotions.
