Diet - Eggs or no eggs?

Thanks for that. Did the study establish a causal link between eating eggs and prostate cancer progression, or did it only establish that there's some kind of correlation? As I know you know well, there's at least one study showing a correlation between everything and everything else, but most of them never pan out to anything more.

I think we beat this one up in a recent discussion about eggs.
There was a study that showed some component (lutein?) in eggs that “might” promote prostate cancer. But in the very article cited the lead researcher used the word “correlation” and NOT “causation”.
I love eggs - even have them in omelet form for dinner sometimes. My wife and I probably eat a dozen (in toto) every week or so in various recipes and desserts.
I also love dairy - any cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, lowfat milk. So when I read the definitive research that says these two foods - eaten since time immemorial - cause prostate cancer, maybe….maybe? I might cut down….or better, be dead already😝!
