Diet - Eggs or no eggs?

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😝!

Pretty well my take on the matter. Today was my briefing with the oncologist prior to 35 days of RT starting next month. The diet/regime he gave me in order to ensure a 'no gas state' on arrival each day includes.........eggs. Go figure.

As for cheese, I reckon my prostate is made of the stuff. Probably responsible for my gallstones too over 20 years.
