The official answer always keeps changing. I think the last study sample of over 400,000 individuals showed eggs are bad for you. Bad for your heart, increases chance of getting cancer, among other negative things.

I've never been a fan of correlation studies. To figure out phenotypic/genotypic balance of all that a person has done in their life... I rarely trust them.

Whoops I edited my vulgarity too late lol

Eggs are amazing, and good for you. Everything in moderation.

Why is calories in/calories out and moderation such a hard concept for the modern dummy?

Propaganda. Usually out of extreme vegan sites.

As an evolutionary food source we are adapted to eggs being one of the best food sources for us.

What the propaganda sources do is seize on a tiny element of truth, finding it can contribute to 'cancer', etc in certain instances and they blow that up, as if that is not true pretty much every single food.

The question when it comes to food is about 'overall' benefit versus any 'risk' and eggs are significantly on the 'benefit' side of the ledger. As are most foods we relied on in early evolution. We evolved specific to benefit from them.

Has anybody here ever tried that delicacy of the fermented fully developed chicken embryo in its egg?

Balut? Why would anyone do that? I'm pretty adventurous but I can imagine the smell would make me want to throw up let alone putting it in my gob.

I eat a lot of eggs, I gave up caring years ago if they were any good for you or not. And don't get me started on egg white omelettes.
 
Everything in moderation. I'm of the mind that huevos are one of the best foods around.
 
Egg can have lots of calories especially if you cook them in a pan with oil or butter. Boiled is the best way to go. I believe its healthy within the right amount and the way you make it. Either way even if egg is bad for you, you will eat worse things or consume things that are way worse for you over a day. Hell your sandwhich and bottled water has now micro plastic in it. Just enjoy your eggs.

The smell would definitely be repugnant,

I think the texture would get me the most, since you would be eating it with the feathers and the bones intact..

I wonder, with the bones still in the bird. Does it feel like eating a soft shell crab or something similar?
 
Eggs are not bad for humans as a flat statement. I think if you have cholesterol issues they might not be the best. But OTOH people who have genetics for high cholesterol usually have high cholesterol because their own body produces excess amounts. It's not as much the diet as their own body but the diet aggravates it. For the rest of people, eat all the eggs you want within reason.
