Taiwan is famined, and it has brought out a lot of nutritious and medical experts. Two readers came to ask, who is the one who is so fucked.

Reader Arthur used the "Contact Me" on this website to inquire:

{999 9} "Hello professor, in 2015, the US nutrition suggests removing the daily citric sterol intake. Some people start to eat eggs with confidence, but the following report says that too much citric sterol intake will hurt the heart and shorten the life. It is not appropriate to be too far away, but such a far-reaching research report is really difficult to follow. Please give me some advice. Thank you very much."

I immediately sent him the chicken eggs I posted on 2016-8-6 to prevent heart disease? , and he immediately replied: "Thank you, Professor Lin, you rarely think in medicine like you, professor. I don't want to comment on fake information and commercial doctors. Many doctors also generalize in a single way."

Reader Max used the website's "Contact Me" today (2023-3-17) to inquire:

"Hello Professor Lin, I have been following your articles for a long time. Recently, I have published articles in health far away, saying that eating more eggs will increase the risk of heart disease: eating more eggs may increase heart disease ! The doctor of the cardiology department analyzed the latest research and revealed recommended consumption. Sanli News also reported: If you can't get eggs, you will get health? The doctor of the cardiology department deciphered: Eating less eggs is better for health and purses. If you don't know whether these are credible reports, I will bother you to solve your doubts. "

So, I simply listed the articles I published about chicken eggs as follows for your reference:

2016-4-2: Do you worry about high-calcium steroid foods?

2016-8-6: Can chicken eggs prevent heart disease? . The end of this article is: "Seriously, the debate about "eating chicken eggs is good or bad for the body" is no longer something that science can solve. When a report on chicken eggs came out, the group that would immediately eat chicken eggs said that the research was funded by the chicken egg industry and was unreliable. When a report about chicken egg foul came out, the group that would be encouraged to eat chicken eggs said that the research was funded by the chicken egg group and was unreliable. So, chicken eggs are good or bad, you don’t have to ask any experts anymore. You are the best expert yourself. All I can give is only two suggestions: (1) Appropriate amount, (2) If you want to eat, eat egg yellow, because all the elements that are good for health are there. If you are afraid of overstocking, eat less. But don't throw away the egg yellow. 』【Note: The so-called appropriateness depends on the personal life situation (such as exercise volume) and the overall nutritional intake pattern (such as protein quality, fat, sugar and proportion]

2017-3-4: Myths and anti-myths of citric sterol

2017-4-28: Eggs, are you worried again?

2018-9-14: Healthy classmates, bullshit

2019-7-5: Experts who nonsense citric sterol

2020-11-29: 1 egg in one day Diabetes risk increases by 60%?

2021-11-23: Eating 3 eggs a day and slurry dropped by 18%? Dr. Jiang is so upset. The end of this article is: "You can also refer to Are eggs good or bad for your health published by Harvard University this year (are chicken eggs good or bad for your health?). The last paragraph of it is citing Walter, former head of the Department of Nutrition Dr. Willet: "In general, I think the old suggestion for most people who say no more than two chicken eggs per week is actually a good suggestion." 』

After this article was published, readers responded, thinking that "no more than two chicken eggs per week" is too strict. However, the purpose of my quotation of this Harvard article is to highlight "three per day." How deviate from this nutritional authority in the way of saying this. In fact, in the 5 articles listed above, the amount of eggs consumed depends on the personal physical condition and lifestyle (movement and dietary habits).
