this report also came out here in england, being a 'worrier' my first thought was omg dd can sometimes eat 7 eggs in a day! - then i read the facts about the overweight, smokers, alcohol drinking men!! what a crazy report, how did they pinpoint eggs as the killer?????!!!!

OMG, I just ate 5 eggs today- good thing I'm not a middle-aged male physician! Oh, and this part of the article makes no sense at all (bolding mine):

Over 20 years, 1,550 of the men had heart attacks, 1,342 had strokes, and more than 5,000 died.

"Egg consumption was not associated with (heart attack) or stroke," the researchers wrote.

But the men who ate seven eggs a week or more were 23 percent more likely to have died during the 20-year period.

Ok, so did eating eggs make them die in car accidents or something?? What did they die of? This is one of the wost quasi-scientific 'study' I've run across in a while, it's horrible on so many levels.
