As far as I know, being a doctor, particularly a doctor in a hospital, is a very stressful job.

One doctor, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, writes very persuasively in his book, "The Great Cholesterol Con" that stress is one of the major factors in causing heart disease (along with insulin spikes).

Maybe we should recommend to our doctors that they give up their stressful jobs so they don't have heart attacks?

That would probably be a far more effective measure than telling them to eat fewer eggs.

And then we wouldn't have to listen to them telling us rubbish like you get in this article like: "Eggs are rich in cholesterol, which in high amounts can clog arteries and raise the risk of heart attack and stroke".

I thought eggs had generally been rehabilitated because it had been proved that dietary cholesterol has little or no effect on serum cholesterol. I have read about a number of studies in which this finding was made.
