    If an egg was so bad for your health, I ask you quite simply, how the hell do they support a chick during a very intense time of rapid growth?

    That’s like saying being in a womb is unhealthy for a developing foetus.

    Is this sophistry? Do you know this is a pants-on-head ridiculous thing to say? Not sure what would be worse, frankly. I could list a thousand things that are essential to life and yet kill you if you eat it.

    Eggs are well known to be harmful to human health. Here is a short fully cited essay on the subject that introduces 267 fully cited videos on the same subject. https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/eggs/

      Salmonella

      You cook them, solved.

      High choleserol

      You don’t base your diet on 100% eggs, limiting your diet to any one food will be damaging regardless.

      Prostate cancer

      Sure, higher risk, from what baseline? Varies massively per-person, and people’s risk-tolerance is subjective… Personally I don’t really care.

      Diabetes

      Again, significantly higher chance, from what baseline? 0.02 is 100% higher than 0.01, misleading.
