The following link highlights an article taken from today's Daily Mail:

I am quite heartened to read this. I know Fergus & co. have long advocated eating eggs a-plenty but I did worry a little about the cholesterol in eggs. If the British Heart Foundation have given the thumbs up to more egg consumption, who am I to argue?

Time for some breakfast eggs-perimentation!
 
The only question in my mind was whether to fry, boil, poach or scramble. :wink:

All the best,

these studies drive me crazy - there were some similar in the 90s ! no one has ever said eggs were bad - except mainly gps and nurses - I am always ticking them off lol.
 
Aw, c'mon Ally, we can't start agreeing on stuff. Where's the fun in that? :roll:

Ally as the studies are not conducted by GPs and Nurses how can you blame them :?:

fergus - we have never said dont eat eggs - mind you in reality most people do not eat them daily - I probably eat about 5 a week as I am not over keen! Couldnt eat them for breakfast - yuk!

Graham - it is the nurses and docs who have given eggs a bad name - I constantly get pts who say the doc/nurse said dont eat eggs!

I cook them in any way I like.Lots of them.If I fry them I use a good non-stick pan with a smear of olive oil.I cook the bottom of the egg on a very very high heat and finish it off under the grill. Bliss.
 
Does anybody else feel like me? I'm tired of being told one minute that to eat or drink a certain item is certain death and the next minute that the very same item is good for me and I should have as much as possible.
For years medics have been telling us that the Mediterranean diet, with olive oil and red wine aplenty is good for us. Then I read that red wine gives women breast cancer. But just a week later it was announced that a glass of wine reduces the risk of gullet cancer. Can't these people stick to Steven King for their horror stories?
I just ignore the lot of them and eat and drink what my diabetes allows, all in moderation as I have always done.
 
Best way forward Bill.
Like you I eat and drink what I like in moderation and taking my diabetes into account.
Catherine.
 
Wise words from BillB and Catherine.

Pay too much attention to all the scaremongering on the net and in the media re. food and you'll starve yourself to death!
