It has been demonstated -a doctor actually tried it for himself and sure enough his cholesterol level dropped. If a person doesn't have enough cholesterol in their diet the body will overcompensate by productioning too much cholesterol (as in the case of my old aunty who doesn't eat enough of anything and eneded up with high cholesterol). Of course another scenario of high cholesterol is where a person is eating too much naughty stuff. I usually eat 4 eggs a day. My doctor actually told me to do it. If a doctor in this day and age tells a patient that eggs will cause them a problem they are fibbing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28180198.post-53868656564546790562008-01-14T17:36:00.000-06:002008-01-14T17:36:00.000-06:0052 isn't old.
