I am 77 and have eaten at least two eggs everyday of life from age 2 until today. I have not had neurological or heart problems. My cholesterol is a bit elevated. I have really high hdl and 5 mg. of a statin. Unless your friends are nutritionists and are reading the most current research, you might want to disregard their well intentioned advice. In the current state if U S. Healthcare i have found that it is very important to do our own research which requires work and effort to find real research not the stuff that you might find on social media. Another thing i might offer is live to the fullest......we can't know what will come.
