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. :D
 
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. :D
 
Best way forward Bill.
Like you I eat and drink what I like in moderation and taking my diabetes into account.
Catherine.
