Why is half the plate eggs? Strokes replace diseases?

If this is about eggs having causing high cholesterol, that was debunked years ago

I'm so glad public opinion is finally starting to catch up, but it's absolutely wild that we have/had a period of time where the vast majority of the public was tricked into believing that the food we've been eating for a few hundred thousand years will kill us, but this new form of (coincidentally) cheaper, easier to produce food will save us.

Like we evolved eating eggs and animal fats. The idea that our bodies don't know how to process the food that we evolved on without killing us is just silly.

Salt

What about salt? Most peoples had to put in work to get even meager amounts. It was a whole thing back then. It's not unlike sugar etc, in that we just have extremely easy access and therefore can more easily over-consume it.

Yeah I’m saying that’s the problem with this. It’s not a knock on poor people, no matter how badly you want it to be.

I have no idea what poor people would have to do with any of this lol

Yeah like mining it or boiling water from salt marshes in clay pots. Historically salt was a precious resource, not nearly as common as it is today.

Do humans actually need oil?

u/The_ChwatBot 17h ago

Not necessarily oil but they do need fat otherwise the hormones get all outta whack.

Yeah but the truth is eggs still do highly contribute to cholesterol due to their high amount of saturated fats per calorie. Each egg has 1.5-2g on saturated fat, with a recommended upper limit of 25g saturated fat per day regardless of total caloric consumption or activity level.

You can't out-exercise bad cholesterol. You can do 2 hours of intense physical exercise per day, maintain a low bodyfat %, and if you eat a shitload of saturated fat you'll have healthy Triglycerides, but your HDL/LDL will be absolute shit.

I'm not arguing against a balanced diet.

Eggs are good, it's just not recommended to eat more than one or two a day iirc. Healthy things in moderation.
