Seven or more eggs a week raises risk of death

I went through a year phase where I ate on average 8 whole eggs a day. I had my blood profile checked twice (including cholesterol), and I was well below 'high cholesterol' levels.
On a side note, had a friend do near the same and he also was fine.
On a further side note, I was so burned out on eggs at the end of this it took awhile before eating eggs again.
Here's a bigger picture:

I agree that this study is pretty stupid. I think pretty much every recent study of eggs shows them to be quite healthy, contrary to their reputation. All this study does is show that unhealthy people can have healthy habits, such as eating eggs. Most people don't absorb much of the dietary cholesterol they consume anyway. People worried about cholesterol should be more worried about bacon than eggs. Saturated fat and especially trans-fat are much more powerful raisers of cholesterol than dietary cholesterol.

YES YES YES. **** yea. I remember eating 6-7 boiled eggs a day a while back.
Thats a pretty stupid comment. Most of the important anabolic nutrients are in the yolk. Eat the yolk.
But since God is good. And God created chickens and chickens lay eggs=eggs are good.
It really boils down to God being the creator of all that is good.
A glass of milk offers the same amount of protein as an egg. So maybe you should have an egg with your milk.
LoL thanks for the insult. I shouldn't have made that blanket statement, so point taken. But on a side note, not all of us need to eat eggs to get our anabolic nutrients, and I can find a lot of tastier things after a workout besides eggs that achieve the same result.
Oh my...are you super stinky or what??! I think 11 eggs would make me shtinky!
I smell very good, actually!
yea there are some days where i can chow down 12 eggs...i think thats my record.
We should start an egg eating thread hehe...whole eggs only though hehe

All the article is saying is that people who did die in the study ate 7 or more eggs a day whereas the ones that didn't ate less than 7.
So basically, if a large percentage of people wore brown pants on Tuesday and died of a massive heart attack, you could say brown pant on Tuesdays is bad for your health. It's not scientific, but it's true since you cannot deny the fact that the people wore brown pants and died.
It's superstition, but I suppose it's still around even with all this modern science going about.

Actually the egg came first, via evolution. Isnt it convenient that god exists then, id certainly give him an F for all the things he's f*cked up on earth. But il give him a chance, might be his first time
Good thing I dont wear brown pants!
Some of you are going tribal in your arguments. The "old school" taught of the "average joe" needing three eggs per week as his/her diet would already include protein from meat/seafood etc. Discussions on the amount of eggs is nothing new.
What is new is whether the eggs are from free range chicken or from chickens holed in small cages under bright lights fed with hormones, antibiotics and steroids. Oops did I mention steroids? I read something on chicken wings and cysts in women but that is for another day....
