The War On Eggs
Really, this article could be called "The War On Food," but that category is far to broad and I felt that narrowing it down to one particular item would be best.
The War On Eggs is a recent development embraced by the mass media. It is a bold faced attempt to demonize a valuable source of protein so that an unthinking populace can be persuaded to switch to other less desirable protein sources.
Remeber?
This war is on again and off again. Science just cannot figure out if eggs are good for you or are silently killing you...
The 1968 American Heart Association announced a dietary recommendation that all individuals consume less than 300 mg of dietary cholesterol per day and no more than three whole eggs per week. This recommendation has not only significantly impacted the dietary patterns of the population, but also resulted in the public limiting a highly nutritious and affordable source of high quality nutrients, including choline which was limited in the diets of most individuals.[1]
As suddenly as the AHA's report told us that eggs were bad, the egg industry responded with it's own study saying that eggs are incredible (and edible).
