From Microsoft Copilot: Recent research continues to support the findings of the 2012 NIH study linking egg consumption to an increased risk of lethal prostate cancer. For example, a 2022 Cleveland Clinic study found that men with increased choline intake (primarily from egg yolks) had almost twice the risk of lethal prostate cancer compared to controls.
While some studies suggest a link between egg consumption and prostate cancer risk, it's important to consider the overall dietary pattern and other lifestyle factors. It's always a good idea to discuss dietary concerns with your healthcare provider.
I think this is totally valid.
Nobody discounts that something might make cancer better or worse because none of us know and doctors don't know. They know what they have tested, so some things have been debunked, but there's probably someone out there that will say that wearing flip flops makes a difference, and who is to say they are wrong?
On the other hand, who is to say that eggs aren't Gods gift to slowing cancer? Since deep and encompassing studies haven't been done, it can go either way.
One thing I've learned in both of my cancer journeys is that there is no shortage of remedies for cancer because it's a terrible disease and everyone wants the magic "thing" that fixes it for them. And guess what, if you feel it fixes your problem and there's no science saying that it does the opposite then go for it! I'll eat lima beans if I must (man I hate lima beans) if I thought it had a 1% chance of being effective because I can control 1%. It's why I'm killing myself with my trainer - it gives me just a bit of control where before I had none.
I read a very in-depth study of some alternative forms of treatment that were debunked twenty ways from Sunday last night and people still hold on tight to them purely out of confirmation bias, despite them being less successful. We all want that magic thing that fixes our cancer, doesn't impact our quality of life and basically leaves us just the way we are pre cancer with very little to no impact. I'd give all the money I have for that.
Eggs are funny in their history of being good or bad. They were Gods gift, then they were Satans curse, then Gods gift then Satans curse. I don't think any food item has experienced as much flipping and flopping over the decades than the poor old egg. To me it equates to one thing: nobody really knows.
