I heard that you eat 20 eggs per week, which is about, you know, four eggs a day potentially. Why do you eat so many eggs?
Well, number one, I'm one of those weirdos who actually loves eggs. They're a great source of protein, a decent source of fat. Most of the fat in there is oleic acid, by the way, which is a monounsaturate that predominates olive oil. It's a low saturated fat thing.
Of course, the knock on eggs is their cholesterol content, but interestingly, uh it's dietary saturated fat that has the greater magnitude of impact on blood lipids than than dietary cholesterol, interestingly enough.
I recognize that the major health agencies would want you to stop your egg consumption to like one a day, possibly two a day if you're an elderly person. But, I take the uh health agencies, or even the consensus guidelines, as a okay, that's cool. It's a good starting point. Um I happen to like eggs. I'll eat more than that. Check my blood. Check my health. I'm doing just fine.
