Diet - Eggs or no eggs?

Hey Jeff, 5 years ago I was bitten by a Lone star tick and became allergic to ALL red meat of any kind including products made with gelatin.
About a month later I had my robotic prostatectomy.
Since that time I have eaten more chicken -perhaps 5 night per week - than the entire Frank Perdue family! Only Bell and Evans Organic chicken and ground dark meat turkey from a farm near my house.
Also during that time my cholesterol zoomed to where I now need statins and my PSA went from undetectable to requiring salvage radiation and ADT.
So MY conclusion, based on 5 years of “research” has found that 100% of ALL men who ate NO red meat and only poultry 5 times per week had an increased chance of recurrent prostate cancer and elevated cholesterol levels.
Yet as preposterous and tongue in cheek as that sounds, it is, nevertheless, true, right?
It flies in the face of everything ever published on red meat, poultry, cancer and cholesterol.
I wonder if Dr Wang’s patients ate the kind of poultry I did or that Pathmark Manager’s Special chicken where a single breast weighs two and a half pounds or the drumstick is the size of a leg of lamb….all with NO hormones or antibiotics🤣🤣.
Anyway, I do happen to love chicken - always have - but it doesn’t seem to love me back. Best,
Phil

I think the moral of the story is this, and I'm equally as guilty: We'll all latch on to certain studies or opinions or even anecdotal testimony if we think it'll give us the slightest edge in this disease (or any other for that matter).

And guess what? That's totally OK. The mind is a very powerful thing and if you believe it, then who is to say it doesn't do any good. And even if it doesn't then it makes you happy.

Now I want a cheeseburger with real meat, real cheese, some raw onion....

I eat a lot of chicken as I mentioned, and my cholesterol is very low. I eat at least 10 portions of chicken a week.

My cholesterol without statins
HDL 60
LDL 68
Triglycerides 85
