  • Freedom of Information Act documents reveal that the U.S. Department of Agriculture warned the egg industry that saying eggs are nutritious or safe may violate rules against false and misleading advertising.

    And yet here I am, being laughed at when I say eggs are extremely unhealthy.

    Haven't had a egg since 2004, and I loved eggs. It took a heart attack and a triple by-pass to wake me up. People just can't seem to understand that and dairy is not good for you. I told this to a friend of over 40 yrs. from Wisconsin, and he quit emailing me. Many people just don't want to hear the truth.

    The amount of material you and your team has to go through to make a single video must be massive. You guys present it in such a simple way. Hats-off 👍

    Interesting video but can't understand why there are a truckload of youtube doctors that hail the benefits of eggs. That along with the fact that both animals and humans have been consuming birds eggs for thousands of years.

    It's interesting that Japan is the country with the highest egg consumption rate in the world. They also have the highest life expectancy, a low cancer rate and one of the lowest obesity rates in the world.

    Looks like 188 people weren't too egg-cited to hear the bad news. It must be egg-ravating!

    I guess I'm glad that the industry isn't allowed to lie with taxpayer dollars but why do they have access to taxpayer dollars for marketing purposes to begin with? These are all for-profit entities no different from any other. This is small potatoes compared to the subsidies the animal agriculture industry gets for the purpose of production but it's ridiculous that in addition to lowering their costs, they also get a government-funded marketing budget.

    The government telling me that eggs aren't safe....??? That must mean they're the best possible thing you could eat. I love eating eggs as much as I can. I pick organic ones up from a small local farm. I've never been sick or had any bad side effects from eating eggs. I'm strong and healthy, eggs give me all sorts of energy to work hard all day. Help your health and community, go out and buy local eggs!

    I've lost 40 lbs in 18 weeks and I eat eggs A LOT. Edit: so how can they not contribute to weight loss?
