 the egg industry would rather blame the bacon or hash browns, reeling against this myth that eggs are the most concentrated source of dietary cholesterol. And it's true. They're right. It is a myth. According to the official USDA nutrient database, in a list of the most concentrated cholesterol sources, eggs are not, number one, they're number two. Brains are, number one, veal brains, cow brains, pig brains, lamb brains, raw pig brains, more veal brains, and then eggs. Then more brains, eggs, brains, brains, eggs, brains, eggs, and eggs. The take-home message, if you're going to do veal brains, pan fry, is definitely not braised. What about omega-3-rich eggs? The new type of eggs containing omega-3 fatty acids are still loaded with cholesterol. The director of the store prevention and ethosclerosis research center notes, the answer is not to feed flaxseed to the chickens, but rather to put it on the cereal and leave the chicken out of the meal. The devastating new review published last year complicating egg consumption did not go over easy with the egg industry. They countered that the overly restrictive 200 milligram upper safety limit for cholesterol intake that wouldn't even allow a single egg is only for people at risk for heart disease, to which the lead research replied, most everyone is at risk of vascular disease. The only ones who could eat an egg yolk regularly with impunity would be those who expect to die prematurely from non-vascular causes. In other words, his famous, the only people who should eat eggs regularly are those with a terminal illness, because at that point, who cares? You're going to drop dead anyway. In their landmark review, they conclude that waiting until your first stroke, heart attack, or diabetes diagnosis to avoid eggs is too late. They conclude stopping egg consumption after heart attack or stroke would be like quitting smoking after a diagnosis of lung cancer, a necessary action, but late.
