More egg danger in the news. More than 3 egg yolks a wk is as bad for your heart as smoking. Says causes plaque build up???? How do we ever make it eating all the dangerous foods we have on our farm???
Also more west Nile news. Thankful we don't have mosquitos here. Think in 2 yrs I have seen less than a dz.
Congrats to those who had rain. We had some rain here, but doesn't look like much. Imagine I still need to water the garden. We did have some major wind blowing up all the sand today, and even with the cool afternoon temps the dogs still are thinking the need to be inside. Guess we let them inside too much this summer. Going to be a challenge to retrain them.
Dinner is leftovers then I want to crawl into bed early tonight.
I wouldn't worry too much about how many eggs you eat. Some people's bodies don't produce enough cholesterol no matter what they eat and other people produce too much even if they watch their diets closely. Genetics has more to do with health than almost anything else ... with exceptions of course (drug use, being one). My grandfather ate two fried eggs with bacon and toast with butter and orange marmalade for breakfast every single morning of his adult life and ate a bologna and peanut butter sandwich on white bread with potato chips for lunch almost every day for the last twenty years or so and never had heart problems at all. AND he smoked a pack a day from the time he was 9 years old. He lived to be 86. He died because he fell on the ice and cracked a rib which tore a blood vessel and he bled to death internally without ever knowing. Go figure.
West Nile is a little more scary but mainly for older and younger folks with compromised immune systems. A lot of people have had West Nile without ever knowing it because most cases are very mild and appear to be a cold or allergies. It usually doesn't last longer than three days and most people never need any medical attention with it at all. Pneumonia and the flu are more dangerous.
It's like all the hype about lead poisoning in children in older homes. But what they don't tell you is that milk washes any lead that's been consumed out of the body without allowing it be absorbed. So if you live in an older home and your kid's been chewing on the paint, take them for ice cream every night (they'll love you forever) and make them eat cereal with milk for breakfast and you're good to go.
