My 12 year old has got this stuff all figured out. He observed that everyone who drinks water dies, so water is the cause of death.

I usually eat more than 7 eggs per day. My risk of death is staggeringly high.

Did they count how much toast & pastries these doctors ate with their eggs?

They never seem to do risk-of-death calculations for foods "they" consider to be benign.

Or has little money and finds that eggs have the best ratio of fatrotein:carbs, make him feel great, and can be eaten even if you have no teeth or poorly-fitting dentures. But no, medical professionals decide it must be a psychosis causing him to eat so many eggs.

Hmmm. I'm kind of craving scrambled eggs right now.
So, at least this article was helpful in some way.
It helped me decide what to have for breakfast.

Forgive me if this is too widely posted on the forum but I hope to meet with the NIH and with congressional aides this month and the more signatures and commentaries I have, the better I can combat crazy articles like this. We have all endured great frustration but there are now people trying to get the message out.

I'll check out that petition as soon as I finish this post!

"ill defined psychological reasons"- in other words, the researchers thought he was crazy but there was nothing actually wrong with the guy.
