(CNN)It's been debated for years: Are eggs good or bad for you? People who eat an added three or four eggs a week or 300 milligrams of dietary cholesterol per day, have a higher risk of both heart disease and early death compared with those who eat fewer eggs, new research finds.
"Eggs, specially the yolk, are a major source of dietary cholesterol," wrote Victor Zhong, lead study author and a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. In a study published Friday in the medical journal JAMA, he and his colleagues noted that a single large egg contains about 186 milligrams of cholesterol.

Statins to lower cholesterol have a lot of side effects, but one of the worst is the belief (in some patients) that taking your statin daily somehow grants you immunity. It doesn't. You still have to watch your diet and your weight, and get exercise. Good health tip, Kenneth. Thanks!

On the PBS all-female talk show To The Contrary on November 4, 1994, host Bonnie Erbe began by promoting the anti-Clarence Thomas book Strange Justice by liberal reporters Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson. She touted “new allegations corroborating Anita Hill’s charges of sexual harassment against now-Justice Clarence Thomas.” Erbe wondered out loud if public opinion would finally tilt toward Hill instead of Thomas.
In the show’s introduction, left-wing panelist Julianne Malveaux, a USA Today columnist and Pacifica Radio host, professed not to care: “I’m more concerned about his reptilian positions against affirmative action and working people.”
Malveaux’s loathing of Thomas grew uglier. “You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease.” When Betsy Hart protested, Malveaux wouldn’t back down. “Well, that’s how I feel. He is an absolutely reprehensible person.”

At this point in time, I've tuned out the 'Good vs. Bad' food and just eat whatever I want. You know what they say, "You're gonna' die of something".

Poor eggs are out, again. I’m not eating whole eggs these days, it’s egg whites or egg beaters and rarely.

I like bacon and eggs in the morning. Usually scrambled, sometimes with sausage. I probably have bacon, eggs, and hash browns about 2-3 times a week. I like Quaker Oatmeal (especially since I found a bunch of Quaker ancestry on that Heritage Company). Once or twice a week, I blend. Milk, Yogurt, Banana, Frozen fruit, Wheat germ, and Honey.

Egg whites are surprisingly good, one almost does not need the yolk.
I rarely eat eggs, but when I buy them I make it a point to get free range chicken eggs. I am attempting to make lifestyle choices that reduce my contribution to inhumane treatment of animals and industrialized animal agriculture.
I have to admit, once in a while a spinach and mushroom omlette really hits the spot!
This is a little depressing. No one cares what I ate for breakfast.
(I guess I'll log off and try tomorrow)

Great question. Ask IQ64, McSlawber and trashcan5.
Actually I can link you to trashcan5's explanation which BTW got her banned from APP for a long time.
Basically the same as IQ64 and McSlawber on DCJ. Essentially it goes like this for those three - they claim that blacks only have a diet of chitlins, fried chicken and Skittles. Advocating a diet of raw fruits, veggies and fish is therefore racist, according to them.
