Eating eggs causes cancer?!

[DobieLover]

Statistics... "The numbers will be tortured until they confess!" The awful truth is everything causes cancer, organ failure, mutation, civic unrest, etc, etc. It's why we evolved organs to filter out toxins. Balanced diet. Balanced diet. Balanced diet. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Don't forget lots of exercise, good quality sleep and stress management! Ah, the keys to the kingdom of happiness and health.

My grandmother grew up on a farm in Iowa with 9 siblings. They ate eggs every morning. She bought a chicken farm as an adult. Ate eggs nearly every day. The only sibling to die of cancer was a smoker. All lived to be in their mid 90's. I don't think I can buy that eggs alone can cause cancer in a human unless they are already compromised by a hereditary factor. Just my gut feeling of course.

Since getting our fine feathered masters we have eaten eggs almost every day, and I'm perfectly normal. (Twitch, click, sputter, drool) I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to wander around the yard, scratching the ground and eating bugs.

I come from a long line of farmers who all ate eggs, and all lived well into their 80's. My favorite uncle eats four greasy fried eggs every morning, he's 92. Myself, I've been eating eggs since I was born. I'm 50... I don't really think I would worry too much about it

I think everything causes cancer. We should stop eating, drinking and breathing.

I will never believe anything they say about eating egg's. Through the year's that I have already lived- first egg's were good for you, then they were bad for you, then good again, and now bad? If they can't make up their mind about egg's, then how do they think that they would convince someone like me? I like egg's and I'm not going to stop eating them!

I just go by this, the closer I eat to the farm the healthier I am, the closer I eat to the factory (prepackaged foods and fast food) the less healthy I am. Carbs, fats, etc etc etc mean nothing to me as long as I get them from whole foods and not prepackaged foods (that includes bread my personal vice) the better off I am. You can't get any closer to the farm than eggs.

We have an old style German bakery about 75 clicks up the road. They make a multi grain loaf that has the recommended amount of fibre, for a month! I mow down on that often. Also something called Munich sourdough. A bread made for brawling on the streets. All very traditional and good like borscht.

NOW THEY SAY THIS I've been eating eggs since I was a kid, either sunny side up, or soft or hard boiled. Three eggs at a time. I am 72, wonder if I should give them up now.
