There’s a new study out there that shows that eating eggs will clog your arteries and lead to premature death. So now, I need to delete all of my videos on eggs—joking! 

This study is complete BS.

The people who endorse this study either…
A) Never read it
B) Don’t understand it
C) Hope no one reads it and calls them on their BS
Here are three things you should know about this study:

1. Who funded it? Multiple pharmaceutical companies and other related businesses who profit from the results. In fact, pharmaceutical companies gave some of the authors money. 

2. Observational, not clinical. The authors used a food frequency questionnaire, which is self-reported. This was not a clinical study, and they didn’t use randomized controls. Meaning, the data is very unreliable.  

3. Only looked at eggs and not cholesterol. All other variables were ignored. They didn’t ask if the person made good lifestyle and diet choices.
